id-care research group

At the inclusive design for health + care group (id-care), we put the diversity of our communities at the heart of technology design, aiming to create health and care experiences that are both person-centred and more inclusive.


our research

Through collaborative, engaged research, we aim to make a real difference – whether it’s improving patient experiences, supporting clinicians’ practice, or finding more meaningful ways to manage health in everyday life. 


Our core expertise is in human-computer interaction and interaction design. We collaborate with experts across a range of disciplines, including medicine, psychology, computer science, and the arts.

We are particularly interested in the area of sexual and reproductive health, where we seek to address overlooked issues through a feminist lens, promoting inclusivity and equity. 


equality, diversity and inclusion 

The id-care group is committed to fostering a respectful and inclusive environment for all collaborators. We recognise that privilege manifests differently across contexts. We are committed to anti-racism and the implementation of equitable practices.


opportunities

We welcome new collaborations! We also encourage expressions of interest from students and researchers from diverse backgrounds, including racialised and minoritised communities.
