Hospital of the future
What will our hospitals look like in the future? Are they still the large institutions that everyone can go to or are we more likely to go to smaller, specialised care centres? Will technology ensure that we can monitor certain things from home? For example, monitoring someone who is pregnant or a patient with diabetes. What is the role of artificial intelligence in our future care system? How are we going to train our future doctors, therapists and nurses? What relationship do we as patients build up with our doctors or will we call them health coaches from now on? These and many more questions are visualised in an interactive way, giving you as a visitor the opportunity to make your mark on the visualisation of the hospital and care of the future.

Smart Drinking by Lazarus
Excessive alcohol consumption can not only lead to health problems, but is also the source of a great deal of nuisance, especially in a student city like Leuven. To make students and young people between 16 and 25 years old aware of this problem, the city of Leuven, KU Leuven, UZ Leuven and AB InBev launched a "Smart Drinking Programme" in Health House. "Smart Drinking" is an experience programme aimed to give young people a sober view of the consequences of excessive alcohol consumption in nightlife.

DBS Select (Deep Brain Stimulation)
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a neuromodulation therapy for movement disorder patients. DBS is not selective – it stimulates a broad population of neurons, causing side effects and sub-optimal therapy. Two novel technologies for selective stimulation rely on controlling temporal and spatial stimulation parameters. The DBS SELECT project, granted by EIT Health, will validate these complementary approaches in patients, leading to an improved therapy. A new education platform will better inform patients and clinicians, thus increasing market penetration. Coordination and implementation of this newly created education platform will be performed by Health House.
- Focus on full imersive patient education on DBS
- Real life testimonials
- Possibility to share experiences with medical professionals and patients.
