PhD project: Codesign x Inclusivity - A Framework and Toolkit for Codesigning Gender-Inclusive Health Innovation
In the realm of healthcare technology, inclusivity often falls short, particularly concerning gender-specific needs. This project aims at empowering marginalised voices and bridge gender disparities pervasive in healthcare technology design. This project will develop and validate a framework and a practical toolkit for supporting diverse multidisciplinary teams in the codesign of gender-sensitive health innovation. The project will benefit from a collaboration with the ‘Women's Health’ Network of Excellence, a cross-departmental initiative at Imperial College London aiming at addressing gender disparities in health.
For this PhD project, we are seeking candidates with a background in Design Engineering / HCI or related fields, with strong skills in mixed methods research, codesign methods, and human-centered design principles.
Location: Imperial College London, Dyson School of Design Engineering, South Kensington campus, London, UK.
