We asked Jeroen Zwaal to share his ideas on the relation between physical and mental well-being and how we can use technology to better our care and understanding. In his talk he shares his own experiences and story, starting from initially being the subject of a news article about a ‘confused person’ to becoming a person helping countless other people in making sense of their lives and experiences. Coach, editor, artist and today’s speaker on mental health. Jeroen’s experiences became the basis for a Virtual Reality experience produced by KRO-NCRV (a dutch public broadcasting organisation) that allows the user to live through a psychotic episode. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
