Hanneke Kip works as an assistant professor at the Department of Psychology, Health and Technology at the University of Twente, and as a researcher at Transfore, an organization for forensic mental healthcare. Her research is driven by the need to improve mental healthcare for vulnerable and hard-to-reach populations such as forensic psychiatric patients.

To achieve this, she investigates how different types of technology, such as interactive virtual reality, mobile apps, wearables and web-based interventions, can add something new and unique to treatment of underserved patient populations. To answer these complex questions, she conducts interdisciplinary research in which she combines theories and models from – amongst other things – psychology, human-centred design, and implementation science. She integrates these into a holistic approach towards eHealth development, implementation, and evaluation in context.
