Chris Petri wins the Poster Award at TechMed Research Day 2026

Chris Petri has been awarded the Best Poster Presentation at the TechMed Research Day 2026 for his work on improving patient admission decisions in aftercare. His project, “Deciding on Patient Admission in Aftercare,” focuses on developing a decision-support algorithm for aftercare institutions, such as nursing homes, to safely determine if a patient can be admitted. By incorporating uncertainties in patient inflow, bed occupancy, and nurse availability, Chris’s model helps reduce workload peaks for healthcare staff, an urgent challenge in Dutch elderly care. The project is supervised by Richard Boucherie, Daniela Guericke, and Anne Zander.
