13-05-2019
Nazli Cila, researcher at the Digital Life Centre, has received a SIA HBO-Postdoc research grant for two years. With her proposal 'Meaningful Smart Products for Human Empowerment' she wants to develop a model with hands-on guidelines, which designers can use to create better, smarter products intended for the challenges related specifically to healthcare and to society in general.
Nazli follows the approach of research-by-design in order to create best practices when it comes to how smart products can actually empower people. In addition, she will distract scientific and professional knowledge from these practices in relation to the concept of empowerment. The project was launched on 1 april 2019.
