But we do not yet have the technology to measure the quality of ambient sound. This can have a negative impact in critical care environments such as a pediatric ICU. IDE Associate Professor Elif Ozcan Vieira and her collaborators receive NWO funding to research a solution.

It can be pretty scary if you don't know, especially as a child. But what if you could take a peek inside? Britt MĂźller set about to do exactly this via her IDE graduation project. And now, with her âEven Spiekenâ game (designed for the Hospital Hero app), Britt has been nominated for the Klockhuis Science Award 2024.

He sees great value of designers in the tech sector. "The university has so much knowledge. But what concrete problem is being solved for people? Where and when is technology the solution? Designers ask the right questions." 14 February 2024 Becoming healthier through smart game design Valentijn Visch designs solutions to motivate people to pay attention to their health. For this, he uses techniques such as game design and interactive storytelling. Collaboration with researchers inside and outside TU Delft is key for him. "More and more health researchers want a designer to join." 13 February 2024 Designing a good fit starts with data A good fit is desirable with lots of products, but itâs especially important when it comes to something like a ventilation mask for young children. However, itâs hard to design a close-fitting mask without relevant anthropometric data. For her PhD, Lyè Goto collected and analysed a unique and detailed 3D dataset that can support designers in achieving better product sizing for masks and other potential applications. 13 February 2024 Improving implants for a tiny joint with a big impact From opening a jar, to writing with a pen, or tying shoelaces, thumbs play an important role in enabling numerous daily activities. But due to osteoarthritis, many people experience pain or loss of mobility in the thumb joint, which can limit their ability to function. For her PhD, Helen Yuan aimed to gain deeper insights into the structure and movement mechanics of this joint to help researchers and healthcare professionals improve and develop more effective treatments for patients. 12 February 2024 Getting more comfortable with smartphone use Whether traveling by plane, train, or bus, nowadays most passengers can be found using a smartphone. But limited space for movement and keeping the neck bent for long periods of time can result in discomfort for many people, particularly in the neck, shoulders, arms, and back. For her PhD, Sumalee Udomboonyanupap explored what it takes to design an improved seating environment in trains, providing passengers a more comfortable experience with smartphone use. 23 January 2024 New website helps make eHealth tools usable for all eHealth tools can offer a solution to the glaring shortage of healthcare personnel. But not everyone has the technical skills to get started with these tools. That is why PhD candidates Jasper Faber and Isra Al-Dhahir have developed a website for eHealth tool developers to get practical information on building such a tool, with the aim of closing the growing health gap. "Think practical tips, do's and don'ts." 23 January 2024 Interview with Judith Rietjens: "We need to cherish the conversation againâ Judith Rietjens is a Professor of Design for Public Health at the TU Delft | Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering and Erasmus MCâs department of Public Health. On 26 January, she will give her inaugural lecture at the TU Delft Aula. What was it that sparked her line of research? Why did she join the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering (IDE)? How does she see the evolution of the healthcare system? Find out in this interview. 09 January 2024 A systematic approach to personalised design Personalised products like medical devices or safety shoes offer numerous benefits, but there are challenges when it comes to designing them. Current methods often include manual or semi-automated steps, making it tedious and time consuming. For his PhD, Farzam Tajdari developed new methods of pattern recognition, created an optimised 4D scanning device, and produced a novel 4D data set in the process, showing there is a better way to do personalised design. 01 December 2023 How to make a bike helmet desirable How do we make bike helmets desirable among Dutch cyclists? Remco Bosch found a solution. "The safety argument doesn't work here, we already feel safe on our bikes," he says. For his graduation project, Remco looked at the needs and values of cyclists. Thatâs when he discovered that framing helmets as a lifestyle choice, not just a safety precaution could make the difference.
