The Psychosocial and Emotional Impact of Assistive Technology in the Home Expanding Understanding of Person–Equipment
Location:
Sydney, NSW
This project will explore an under-researched question in assistive technology: how do aesthetics, identity and emotional experience influence whether people accept and use the equipment designed to support them? The research has the potential to influence both assistive technology design in the sector and person-centred clinical practice.
Injectable Conductive Hydrogels for Minimally Invasive Nerve Stimulation Implants
Location:
Remote
Help develop an injectable, electrically conductive hydrogel that could allow tiny battery-free implants to stimulate peripheral nerves and relieve chronic pain, without leads or bulky hardware. The formulation and testing work will directly shape a new class of minimally invasive neuromodulation therapy.
