We spoke with a number of Symposium attendees and speakers about their experiences in the field of health research.

We are introducing a lot of technologies for older people so it’s important to ask - How do we really make it work for them?

Yen Ching Chiuan

By using data, we are able to see the possible next steps in the surgical learning process.

Design is changing. Today it has more of a social conscience. Sustainable design is a good example of this.

Alexander Gosling

Where and when the R&D happens depends on who has the most incredible resources and best tax treatment.

Steve Kyffin

Ideas universities are focused on driving and creating the future opportunities because they are trying to build economic growth and social prosperity though new and creative ideas.

We need to get more into the habit of looking in-between things instead of only looking at individual things, so we see the connections, links, and relationships in place.

Stephen Reay

Good collaborations are about developing really good relationships. It’s the relationships you have with people involved in the projects that make for strong collaborations.

Cara Wrigley

There are a lot of usability issues like this that engineers haven’t considered for life after surgery. Designers are well placed to get involved here.
