Who I've worked with

PhD Topic

Developing principles for the design and review of digital interventions in mental healthcate: a multi-perspective approach.

Using multi-stakeholder approach to develop principles for designing and reviewing digital applications such as conversational agents, mobile applications and serious games for mental healthcare. Stakeholders include people with mental disorders, mental health professionals and designers/ developers.

 

This research will include, participatory design sessions; co-design, focus groups, interviews, testing etc. with stakeholders. We will work closely with case studies such as ProtectMe, Empathetic Conversational Agents for Sexual Assault etc. 

My collaboration with HEMD HU

For the mission”Outside Looking In“, I dive into the various way inclusion and exclusion can be  illustracted and experienced in online spaces. I also draw inspiration from collegue researcher, Saskia Powels who focuses on understanding the instances of exclusion in offline spaces especially regarding Citizen Participation.
