Research is in the DNA of Karify. Ever since the establishment in 2008 Karify has been collaborating with research partners to develop evidence-based integrated care.
The goal of Karify’s research efforts is to contribute to the best possible care, to support both client and therapist during treatment.
Research and practice inform eachother – definitely in a new area like eHealth.
Sanne van den Berg,
postdoctoral researcher & research coordinator Karify
At Karify, research and new developments of the eHealth platform take place at the same time. Karify develops on the basis of scientific insights and tests innovations for the end user before, during and after these become reality. Experiences of clients and therapists contribute this way to innovation processes and generate new research questions right away.
In collaboration with academic partners, the multidisciplinary team of Karify combines the newest insights in the areas of technology, psychology, implementation and user interface and experience design.
