Research Projects

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) Study.
This research aimed to explore the tracking behaviors and reflective learning processes of pregnant individuals with gestational diabetes regarding their condition and lifestyle habits. We engaged with individuals who were currently pregnant and had been clinically diagnosed with GDM . We applied Kolb’s experiential learning cycle as a framework to analyze our findings.

Co-designing For the Menstruation Journey

Presently, we’re facilitating a series of 10-week design sessions utilizing the Asynchronous Remote Communities (ARC) method with participants. Our aim is to explore the potential avenues for designing menstrual technologies that prioritize cultural inclusivity and equity, particularly for individuals who track their health and religious wellbeing.

 

Values Senstive Design & Pregnancy Journey Research in HCI
This study explores into the values that are either prioritized or neglected in the journey of pregnancy healthcare. Our aim is to uncover areas where HCI research efforts are lacking. To achieve this, we utilize the Schwartz Model for human values and employ Value Sensitive Design in our analysis of literature related to pregnancy healthcare journeys.

Meta-Analysis of ARC Method

HCI researchers currently use the ARC method to investigate various groups and address diverse research inquiries. Our objective is to undertake a meta-analysis of published ARC studies, aiming to advance the ARC methodology by offering comprehensive insights, identifying emerging trends, and providing reflective analyses on its application.

 

Self-Monitoring Practice in Gestational Diabetes

Monitoring blood glucose levels is crucial in managing gestational diabetes. This study seeks to explore how pregnant individuals engage in this practice, aiming to inform the design of a blood glucose meter tailored to their specific needs.
