Impacts and Outputs
The project has held two successful workshops to date, which have been summarised in two blogs.
The first workshop interrogated the key terms of engagement, co-design, evidence, implement and impact/ effectiveness among multidisciplinary groups comprising computer scientists, health professionals, human-computer interaction researchers, psychologists, people from industry, media, banking and others.
The focus for the second seminar was to promote the principles of codesign in the context of digital health and to offer a useful introduction for those who may not have done codesign before or who could do with refreshing their methods.
