Health at TNO
At TNO, we develop technological and social innovations to improve the health of the population. We focus on five spearheads:
- Effective prevention and behavioural intervention
- Personalised (digital) interventions
- Efficient drug development
- A healthy, innovative work environment
- A healthy living environment
Science and innovation
At TNO, we combine science and innovation with social commitment. Rather than wait around, we keep moving — not alone, but together. And we always have one goal in mind: to help build a strong, safe, and future-proof society.
We invite you to contribute your ideas, join in the conversation and work with us — because it is precisely by combining our knowledge, experience, and ideas that we really make a difference.
