- Published at ACM SIGCHI, the premier international conference in HCI (acceptance: 23%). The work was part of a multi-disciplinary £1.5m cross-research council grant (MRC, EPSRC, ESRC) in collaboration with the NHS Golden Jubilee National Hospital. The paper presented the first study of a novel rehabilitation system for patients after knee arhoplasty which used Participatory Design to fully involve patients, physiotherapists and orthopaedic surgeons at all stages of design and evaluation. A lengthy (6-week) randomised control in-home study was facilitated with our bespoke wireless sensors. Outcomes included recommendations to increase adherence in future rehabilitation designs, thereby supporting reduced per-patient healthcare costs.
