Date for the diary 📅 Don't miss Sabine van der Veer and Syed Mustafa Ali from our digital health research team, discussing the important considerations around health equity when collecting research data via digital technology 👇👇👇
Health Research from Home Webinar Series: Considering Health Equity When Using Digital Technology for Research Data Collection Date: 6 November 2024, Time: 1-2 pm GMT Book now: https://lnkd.in/eyeJwRxP 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 for kidney disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic pain. Research Associate, Syed Mustafa Ali then shares his experience of successfully widening participation in 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 design a digital health study that better serves all members of society.
