    Can language help to solve communication challenges in consultations with patients presenting medically unexplained symptoms (MUS)? These symptoms are serious and not well understood. Although scholars have repeatedly ascertained the importance of doctor-patient interactions for establishing and handling MUS, previous research failed to involve a linguistic account of communication. This project will strengthen the link between medical and linguistic research on communication to define what good communication in terms of language encompasses. Medical research indicates that positive wordings would have therapeutic effects, but studies merely compare effects of messages with different contents (e.g. “it will sting a little bit” versus no warning message for medical procedures). Message content (what is said) and language (how it is said) are not distinguished. Yet, subtle language differences affect patients’ emotions and cognitions and thereby their quality of life and wellbeing. The aim of the proposed project is twofold. First, to capture how key linguistic elements are constructed during GP-patient interactions. Second, to analyse psychological mechanisms of language use variations affecting medical outcomes. The project will build towards a model that defines working mechanisms of language in medical interactions. Results will help to understand the construction and effects of language use in general practice consultations and will provide input for GP guidelines and education on what (not) to say.

    Mensen met een licht verstandelijke beperking (lvb) ervaren meer eenzaamheid dan mensen zonder lvb. In het COLLELO project werken onderzoekers uit de sociale en geesteswetenschappen samen met mensen met lvb en hun (in)formele netwerken aan een (online) lerende gemeenschap die de eenzaamheid van mensen met lvb wil begrijpen en verminderen.

    In the Netherlands, 2,300 women annually face a diagnosis of Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS) and can progress to breast cancer. However, the majority never will. As harmless and hazardous DCIS cannot be distinguished yet, all women get intensive treatment. So, many women carry the burden of overtreatment without any benefit. To reduce this overtreatment, highly innovative, integrative artificial intelligence will be developed, inspired by how weather forecasting is improving over time. This dynamic DCIS-risk forecasting will prevent needless treatment for women with harmless DCIS, preserve their quality of life, and save €15 million/year health care costs.

    Autisme wordt veel vaker gediagnosticeerd bij mannen dan bij vrouwen. Is dit het resultaat van biologische verschillen, of op mannen gerichte wetenschap en gezondheidszorg met diagnostische blinde vlekken? Met SCANNER gaan wetenschappers beide verklaringen onderzoeken en sensomotorische diagnostische tools ontwikkelen om geslacht sensitive zorg voor mensen met autisme te verbeteren.
