Human-Centred Digital Tools for Trust & Public Engagement in Health

Assistant Professor at University of Southern Denmark (SDU) - Metaverse Lab

Odense, Denmark

About

The SDU Metaverse Lab at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) contributes human-centric AI and interactive design expertise to Horizon Health projects addressing public trust, engagement, and outreach in health and life sciences.

We specialise in modelling engagement and emotional responses in digital systems and in creating interactive and gamified communication tools that support understanding, transparency, and trust. Our work combines participatory design with rigorous evaluation of developed outreach and engagement instruments.

We contribute to consortia through:

  • Modelling engagement, affect, and trust in digital systems

  • Interactive and gamified tools for public outreach

  • Participatory and co-creative design approaches

  • Evaluation of developed communication and engagement instruments

We seek to join larger Horizon Health consortia as a partner, supporting engagement-, dissemination-, and evaluation-focused work packages.
