The Health and Human Motor Psychology Research Unit is regularly called upon to carry out research into improving health care

Example: From intensive care to attentive care / Dissertation project, Marianne Devroye

In collaboration with the intensive care unit at the Erasme Hospital, this project has been running for 3 years and culminated
this year in the launch of Marianne Devroye's doctoral thesis project, co-promoted by Prof. Foucart and Prof. Preiser and partly
subsidised by the Erasme Fund. 

This thesis covers several areas (follow-up, setting up a logbook and the use of hypnosis in IS). 
Our growing knowledge in this field has also enabled us to set up a continuing education programme in hypnosis.
