Saskia is Associate Professor at the Centre for eHealth and Wellbeing Research at the University of Twente, Enschede, the Netherlands and extraordinary professor at Optentia Research Focus Area, North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus. Her work combines technological and psychological perspectives and is multidisciplinary in nature. She uses innovative research designs and concepts to investigate the relationship between technology, adherence and effectiveness (e.g. fractional factorial RCT; engagement). Currently, she works on her personal NWO-Veni grant on using engagement as a mediator to personalize digital mental health interventions. In this innovative new research line, she uses new-to-field and challenging research methods (e.g. a full factorial study including 27 versions of an digital mental health intervention) by e.g. making smart use of the possibilities of technology. She is also editor of the new eHealth handbook with contributions from many influential (inter)national scholars, and lead educator of a massive open online course (MOOC) on eHealth with over 23.000 participants.
