Grant: Canada Research Chairs
The University of British Columbia
$200,000.00
Interactive Human Systems Design
FY 2024-25
Summary
This research lowers barriers to using complex human-facing systems, through design examples that lead to theories, guidelines and supportive sociotechnical ecosystems. I am mobilizing the difficult practice of haptic design, and using robotics to reveal the emotional and functional bases of physical affective touch. I will continue to grow UBC¿s international presence, transforming the Designing for People Cluster to an Institute by leading mixed teams; such as supporting complex healthcare situations by guiding technical advances with patient-centered design. This vision builds on my past work in haptic design, while tackling urgent needs of our health system with major collaborations.
