This website is a research tool for a group of design health researchers at Adelaide University interested in the intersection between design and health technologies and future care provision. We work through interdisciplinary collaborative practices with a particular focus on enabling lived experiences of all kinds.
This is a repository of examples of past projects.
Pain Science Education Resources
Pain Science Education and other active management strategies are recommended as first line care for chronic pain conditions. Yet, in private physiotherapy practice, providing education and educational materials to patients can be difficult, particularly where patients are seeking passive treatments.
OA Champions
Knee Osteoarthritis is a significant contributor to Australia’s burden of disease. Despite conservative treatment recommended as first line care, surgery is often considered a foregone conclusion by those with the condition. Accessing information about active management can be difficult, and people with OA are often presented with conflicting information.
