BISS NEWS | Medical drones in "De Ochtendspits" A few days ago Max Louwerse joined the BNR Nieuwsradio podcast "De Ochtendspits" as one of the guests for a short interview on medical drones. In this segment, Max discusses the challenges and opportunities of using drones in healthcare, and how we can responsibly tackle these issues - precisely the focus of the INTERREG BeNeDrone Project. BeNeDrone aims to explore how drones can safely and efficiently support cross-border medical logistics between Flanders and the southern Netherlands, while integrating ethical, legal, and societal perspectives into every step.

We focus on (1) Identifying the issue from everyday language, (2) Finding the relevant rules quickly and accurately, and

Working together on accessibility
Collaboration with BISS helped us take a fresh look at a complex process like the social assistance application. By bringing together behavioral scientists, data scientists, and policymakers under the guidance of a design thinking facilitator, we developed an approach that is both human-centered and data-driven. Thanks to this interdisciplinary collaboration, we were able to truly take steps toward a simpler, clearer, and more accessible application process for our residents.
