Bakgrunn og aktiviteter
Beatrix Vereijken er professor ved Institutt for nevromedisin og bevegelsesvitenskap ved Fakultet for medisin og helsevitenskap. Hun leder NTNU Helse prosjektet EXACT, som fokuserer på utvikling og bruk av spillteknologi for aktiv, sunn aldring og rehabilitering. Hun er also prosjekt manager på EU prosjektet PreventIT, et personalisert helse og IKT prosjekt for å forebygge funksjonstap i alderdommen.
