🎓 Education

Matheus (Roland) van Rens holds a Master of Advanced Nursing Practice (MaANP) from Erasmus University, Netherlands, completed in 2005. He is currently pursuing a PhD at Radboud University Medical Center, focusing on neonatal infusion safety, including advanced CAD applications in the development of medical devices. His academic path reflects a deep commitment to combining clinical excellence with engineering innovation to improve outcomes in neonatal care.

💼 Professional Experience

With over 30 years of clinical and academic experience, Roland is a seasoned neonatal nurse practitioner and expert researcher. He has led multicenter clinical trials evaluating innovative catheter securement methods, such as glue-based technologies, and played a pivotal role in developing the Rely-V platform—an advanced flow-monitoring sensor for neonatal IV infusions. His work has made him a respected voice in neonatal vascular access, and he actively contributes as a board member of the Neonatal European Vascular Access Team (NEVAT).

🔬 Research Focus

Roland’s research concentrates on enhancing infusion safety and delivery systems in neonatology. His main domains include infusion flow monitoring, catheter securement evaluation, sensor integration into clinical workflows, and simulation-based system modelling. He is particularly focused on applying real-time sensor technologies to reduce infusion-related complications in premature and critically ill infants.

🏆 Awards & Achievements

Roland is the author of the book “Neonatal Vascular Access and Neurodevelopmental Care”, published by Springer in 2025. He has been an invited speaker at key international platforms, including WoCoVA, ESPR, GaVAPed, and SIGNEC. His innovative work in neonatal infusion technology has earned him recognition across Europe and contributed significantly to advancing patient safety in neonatal units.
