Hannah & computers

Hanna is 18 years old and comes from Alphen. For the people who do not know this small village, it is located between Breda and Tilburg. Hanna is studying Health Technology, when her first internship was cancelled, Hanna was left with a mountain of time. This can of course be filled in much better in times of Corona. Hanna rightly points out that we are getting more and more elderly people in the Netherlands. So we have to prepare now for how we will help the elderly in the future. Hanna does this with her studies, where she connects her two loves: Healthcare and Technology. She has now also done that at the 'Met je hart' foundation. Hanna has been busy! From computers reset and made ready so that the elderly can use them to the elderly given computer lessons. Because how exactly do you use that piece of technology? But she also visited the elderly and helped the foundation write various manuals. So a real topper! Mrs. couldn't find the mouse, so she had to look for the mouse with a magnifying glass all the time It makes sense that Hanna cares about health and technology. Her mother and sister work in care at the bedside of people and her brother works in IT. Hanna is right in the middle, she wants to make people healthier through technology! And the best thing Hanna has experienced? Hanna taught a lady computer that she could chat with other people online so she would feel less lonely. The lady thought it was all exciting, because she couldn't see much. When Hanna arrived, the lady was already sitting at her computer with a magnifying glass: 'Those letters are so small'. Because Hanna has enlarged the font and the mouse, Mrs. does not have to reach for her magnifying glass as often. Despite the fact that Hanna is now helping other people for her studies, she does want to continue this. She may have less time, but now and then she still wants to help people. 'The elderly are simply much lonelier. Because I can help them get along with a computer, they can stay in touch with people'. Hanna would recommend it to everyone, ' Corona has given us all a little more time. It's better to use that instead of sitting still!' Hanna, you are a real winner!
