Foreword
In the coming decades, there will be a growing need for care for the
aging society and people with chronic diseases. At the same time,
people coping with disabilities strive for autonomy and social
participation. These challenges will have impact on costs of our
healthcare system.
New technologies are becoming more prevalent in health care,
enabled by a wide range of sensors and increased connectivity
available through the Internet of Things. New technical
innovations such as active training devices (robotics, gaming,
virtual reality), active assistive devices (prostheses, exoskeletons,
orthoses), monitoring and tele rehabilitation will actually improve
the person’s abilities to remain independent. Technical
improvements in sensors, actuators and artificial intelligence in
these devices make them more and more functional when
augmenting the human body. The interaction between the
adaptive capabilities of a person and the adaptive capacities of the
device will define the level of functional capability. The number of
medical technologies used in home settings has increased
substantially over the last decades. Many of these technologies
can be very empowering, allowing older adults to remain in their
homes longer, or enabling patients with chronic disease or mild
cognitive impairment to both understand their illness better and
adopt strategies to improve their quality of life.
The mission is targeting High Tech (Pervasive tech, Nano, AI,
robotics etc.) in the area of Health, positioned as Smart Aging &
Rehabilitation Technologies, and is connected to the RehabWeek in
Toronto. The visit to the University of Waterloo and the Toronto
6 Trade mission to Canada / Rehabilitation & Smart Aging
Rehabilitation Institute is a recurring event as part of the
establishment of a global healthcare and Med Tech innovation
network with the University of Waterloo, Waterloo MedTech and
Totonto Rehabilitation Institute.
The goal of the mission is to strengthen cooperation between
Canada and the Netherlands in High Tech, Life Sciences and
Rehabilitation Research and Industry.
We highlight the following topics as drivers for our mission:
• Integration of technology in Home care (de-hospitalization),
Long term care
• Novel and revolutionary solutions developed in Rehabilitation
and Smart aging.
• Big Data to develop novel models of self-care, in an effective,
efficient, secure and safe way
• Establishment of sound and sustainable public-private
partnerships to bring medical technology to the market
But most important, we will make friends in Canada to make
transatlantic collaborations a success.
On behalf of the organization, we wish all participants of this
mission a very pleasant, inspiring and successful transatlantic
rehab week.

The Sint Maartenskliniek in Nijmegen, Woerden
and Boxmeer is a hospital that specializes in
posture and movement, and the control of these.
It has four basic specialities: orthopaedics,
rheumatology, pain management and
rehabilitation techniques.
There are over 250 beds, 400 places for
outpatient treatment and an extensive
Miranda van Hooff outpatients’ clinic. The clinic has its own
Researcher & Clinical epidemiologist department for scientific research. The research
m.vanhooff@maartenskliniek.nl results are used to develop new treatment
methods. In its field, the Sint Maartenskliniek is
therefore among the leading institutions in the
Netherlands and in Europe. Because of the
expertise available to it, the clinic also fulfils the
role of a teaching hospital.
Research is part of the Research and Innovation
