Perspectives from the Convergence Human Mobility Center

Within the Convergence Human Mobility Center (CHMC), one of the Flagships of Convergence Health & Technology, researchers, clinicians, patients and partners work together on a shared challenge in rehabilitation care: ensuring that promising technologies move beyond the pilot phase and into daily practice.

This challenge is at the heart of a recent opinion article published in the NTR (‘Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Revalidatiegeneeskunde’). In the article, authors affiliated with CHMC present a clear plea for co-creation, arguing that rehabilitation technologies often fail to scale because development and implementation are organised sequentially rather than collaboratively.

They call for early and equal collaboration between researchers, healthcare professionals, patients, developers and policymakers, emphasising that shared ownership from the start is essential for sustainable implementation and real-world impact.
