The Wearables and Sensing Network (W+SN) brings together over 100 researchers to develop cross-disciplinary research that focuses on health, the ageing population, sustainability, and new technological innovation.
The W+SN was established to promote and develop multi-disciplinary research collaboration, and to bring a user-centred and design thinking approach to technological innovation.
The following themes reflect areas of expertise across the network. Members may work in several of these areas.
Dr Judith Glover
