One of the most contentious issues in health research using smartphones and wearables is how it may benefit some people while digitally excluding others.
This month we face this topic head on. We have two expert speakers who will share the methods they employ to design digital tools for collecting patient-generated data for health research in a fair way.
Dr Sabine van der Veer, a senior lecturer in health informatics at the University of Manchester, shares the approaches she employs to design the numerous tools she has created in kidney disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic pain.
Research Associate, Syed Mustafa Ali then shares his experience of successfully widening participation for the Manchester Digital Pain Manikin study. He explains the methods he used to recruit people from ethnic minority backgrounds that have been traditionally underserved in health research, and conduct focus groups with them to understand their digital self-reporting needs.
Whatever area of research you specialise in, this webinar will help you to design a digital health study that better serves all members of society.
