Top SchoolTom Luyten is a design-led researcher and professor with over a decade of practice at the intersection of interactive art, digital media and care technology, currently leading resilient design research at Zuyd University of Applied Sciences. He specializes in creating interfaces and generative interactions for older adults and people with cognitive challenges, turning academic insights from his PhD on emotion-oriented interactive art in nursing homes into practical, empathic solutions.
