UCLIC Research Seminar Series

Title
Abstract
Successful innovations require consideration of three main criteria: Feasibility: is the solution technically feasible? Viability: is it cost-effective? and Desirability: will people want to use it? This is where human centred design is crucial.
In this talk I will discuss how we apply a human centred approach to design digital interventions in healthcare to promote informed decision making and facilitate behaviour change. This includes designing decision support systems for healthcare professionals, interventions to support patients in self-managing their health conditions and public health interventions to promote wellbeing and sustainable behaviour change.
