Many diseases can be prevented if people adopt a healthier lifestyle. But changing behaviour, how do you do that? Telling people why smoking is bad really won't make them stop smoking. Leaflets remain unread, often the environment also does not cooperate or people do not have the means to behave healthily. Within the minor in Prevention and Health, the focus is therefore on:

• encouraging healthy lifestyles;
• preventing people from becoming ill;
• detecting diseases early so that early treatment becomes possible;
• teaching people who are ill to cope with their illness as well as possible, so that they can function better in everyday life.

New technological developments within healthcare follow each other in rapid succession. Think of applications such as eHealth, telemonitoring, robotics, domotics, and electronic information systems. These developments have a profound impact on healthcare. Not only for the clients and patients receiving care, but also for all healthcare professionals involved in delivering this care. However, the successful implementation of these applications in healthcare is not yet without controversy. The distance between ICT and care is sometimes still great and the two worlds often still speak two different languages. This minor aims to build bridges between these worlds.
