Overview

The Sienko Research Group focuses on the co-creative design of cost-effective technology solutions to healthcare challenges in low- and middle-income countries and in doing so, we investigate the design processes that produce effective and usable devices. We use design ethnography to develop a deep understanding of contexts and stakeholders to inform design decisions.

For more information, visit the Sienko Research Group website or read more on Research.

Occasionally, the Sienko Research Group is able to support undergraduate research assistants through SURE, SROP, UROP, and other research programs.
