Doctoral Trainee
I am deeply committed to leveraging technology's potential for the benefit of all communities, particularly focusing on adults and children with long-term complex needs. In alignment with the National Health Service's Personalised Care policy in England, I assert that technology can play a pivotal role in empowering these families to coproduce and manage their care alongside local healthcare authorities.
My efforts are directed towards catalysing change at both regional and citizen levels. I have co-formed a citizen-led Coproduction Group aimed at instigating cultural shifts within local healthcare authorities. In parallel with this, my research methodology emphasizes participatory design, engaging directly with citizens with lived experience to ensure they are empowered to conceive and design technological solutions tailored to their needs.
My professional journey has traversed technology and telecommunication sectors across diverse geographical regions, including the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Caribbean. I have accumulated invaluable expertise from these freelance roles, encompassing development, analysis, testing, and project management. Complementing this practical experience are my academic credentials, including a BSc, MSc, MRes, and PhD.
As I continue my research, I am poised to delve deeper into the intersection of technology, society, the state, and caregiving for families and individuals facing complex needs. My overarching aim is to unlock society’s and technology's full potential in enhancing these families' well-being and autonomy, advancing the broader discourse on technology's human-centred applications.
