Citizens, researchers, professionals, government and organizations collaborating in a quintuple helix
We are facing complex challenges related to climate, energy, demographics, workforce, equitable distribution of resources and access to health care. These challenges are "wicked" in nature; there is no single solution to solve the problem.
This is especially the case with persisting challenges around increasing access to health care for citizens with lower digital and health literacy skills. This requires more than just the involvement of researchers and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Given the urgency and complexity of the challenge, more and different people are needed, namely citizens, the government and health-care professionals.
With each group having their own view on the matter, collaborating ensures the combining of different and rich expertise and experiences, but also concerns and aspirations. Together they can make a difference for better access to health care for vulnerable people. This can be achieved through use of particular key enabling methodologies such as co-design, co-production, citizen science and learning communities.
In this lecture, Dr. Jukema will address how stakeholders in a Quintuple Helix collaboration can use these methods. He will demonstrate that knowing each other's world view is necessary to use the various sources, goals and functions of knowledge effectively and appropriately in creating products, services and processes that are truly helpful for real people. In addition to economic value, he will also argue that this has great moral value in terms of recognition.

He is co-chair of a consortium of 10 Dutch Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS) that developed and implemented the first professional doctorate in Health and Well-being in the Netherlands. He also co-chairs an eight-year applied research program, HealthTech in Society, to make technological innovations suitable and accessible for people with a lower socio-economic status.
He has published both nationally and internationally in scientific and professional journals, and (co-)authored six books, all with a focus on co-creation with older adults, shared decision making, person-centered care and gerontology education.
Jukema advocates for strong and meaningful collaboration between applied research, education and practice with regional partners. He has served on several national and international validation committees on nursing and gerontology programs. He is a member of the GSA, V&VN Dutch Association for Nurses, and board member of STTI Chapter Rho Chi.
