EngD in Designing Human-System Interaction

You research and design how contextual data - living patterns, activity, emotional and social signals - can be used alongside physiological measurements to support heart failure patients in self-management at home.
Co-design workshops with heart failure patients and healthcare professionals at Catharina Hospital to identify data needs and interaction preferences. You can work with the team in the hospital who already redesigned and develop the care pathway.
Translate these insights into design requirements for data collection, visualization, and feedback.
Collaborate with Fashion Tech Farm on a tangible, textile-based exploration of what this health data can feel like — a more explorative, conceptual counterpart to the functional prototype, probing wearable and material forms of data experience beyond screens and numbers.
Develop and iterate a data-driven prototype for home monitoring, working with technology partners like Cardiron.
Run real-world pilot tests on subjects like usability, clinical relevance, user engagement, and impact on home-based self-management.
