Veris smartphone application
Thanks to DIGIT Lab, a scientist, clinician or designer can build and prototype an app to carry out user research by simply building a protocol file without any programming.
Veris smartphone application
Led by David Plans and JONATHAN BIRD
Veris emerged from research on measuring well-being telemetrically (remotely, using web or mobile applications), primarily aimed at using physical (biometric) data and questionnaires to assess mental health. Responding to the increasing need to measure and intervene scalably in both healthcare systems such as the NHS and in large workforces, Veris was designed to allow for a non-coder to be able to organise a protocol (a set of questionnaires and/or biometric tests given in a particular order and frequency in time) and deploy it without having to write a smartphone application from scratch: its remit is thus to provide a telemetric epidemiology framework that is open and easy to use.
Podcast
D.Coded Podcast
Led by Prof. Saeema Ahmed-Kristensen
Professor Saeema Ahmed-Kristensen, Prof of Design Engineering & Innovation, Director of DIGIT Lab, University of Exeter and Melisa Leñero, Director of Paul Polak Innovation Fund at International Development Enterprises. They met a decade ago on a joint RCA/Imperial course that Saeema led and Melisa studied.
D.coded decodes design, technology, and the experiences shaping our world. As hosts, Saeema and Melisa will explore how these influence how we live, work, and connect.
The podcast is available on TikTok @dcoded.podcast, Instagram @dcoded.podcast, Spotify @dcoded-podcast, Apple @dcoded-podcast and YouTube.
