My research explores how assistive technology can support older adults with vision impairment. I focus on evaluating these technologies not only in terms of clinical performance but also in how they are experienced and adopted in real-world settings. My work sits at the intersection of assistive technology, vision rehabilitation, and inclusive design.
I have used mixed-methods approach that combines randomised crossover trials with reflexive thematic analysis of participant interviews. This methodology allows me to assess both measurable improvements in visual function and the lived experiences of users. My work highlights the importance of understanding not just what a device can do, but how it fits into the everyday lives of people with vision impairment.
