Jennifer Liddle

Innovation Fellow

I am a Senior Research Associate working across Open Lab and the Population Health Sciences Institute at Newcastle University. My research interests include the development of innovative (digital) approaches to address societal challenges such as loneliness, isolation, health and care in later life.

I have worked with older people and health care professionals on a range of qualitative and mixed methods studies to explore experiences of everyday life. Recent projects included a study of social connectedness with older people living in the West End of Newcastle and an Emerging and Enabling Technologies Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) with Anchor Hanover.

My current work as an Innovation Associate in the EPSRC-funded Centre for Digital Citizens (CDC) at Open Lab is exploring:

  • new approaches to measure social interaction using wearable digital technologies
  • digital citizenship in later life
  • how technology can support non-age biased learning, growth and engagement opportunities across the life course
