In the early morning of Thursday 2nd of May 2024, dr. Els Maeckelberghe (associate professor at UMCG) was a guest of the NPO Radio 1 show ‘De nacht van NTR Wetenschap’. During this 1-hour interview Maeckelberge talked about her research in medical ethics. Using a few examples she shows the ethical dilemmas medical doctors face. Not only in care, but also in research medical ethical advice is very important. Maeckelberghe’s study in Stress in Action is about the connection of technology and humans. How will we measure stress and what’s the impact of those measurements on the participants?
