Sut allwn ni ddefnyddio datblygiadau technolegol newydd i ddatblygu atebion newydd ar gyfer iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol? Mae fy ymchwil yn archwilio'r cwestiwn hwn ar draws gwahanol boblogaethau (pobl hŷn, pobl ag anabledd dysgu, pobl awtistig, pobl â phendro) ac ar draws ystod o dechnolegau (wedi'u teilwra i'r brif ffrwd).
Mae rhai o fy mhrosiectau presennol yn cynnwys: deall allgáu digidol, dyfeisiau craff i wella lles, asiantaeth, a chysylltedd cymdeithasol i bobl hŷn a phobl ag anabledd dysgu, realiti rhithwir / estynedig a gemau fideo ar gyfer pobl â phendro cronig (yn benodol, pendro canfyddiadol ôl-nerfol parhaus, PPPD, neu 'vertigo gweledol'), ac amgylcheddau amlsynhwyraidd ar gyfer pobl Awtistig a phobl ag anabledd dysgu.
Rwy'n defnyddio dull dulliau cymysg sy'n cyfuno mesurau ansoddol a meintiol, astudiaethau arsylwadol, niwroddelweddu, a seicoffiseg. Rwy'n gweithio'n agos gydag ymarferwyr, sefydliadau gofal cymdeithasol a phobl sydd â phrofiad byw i gyd-ddatblygu fy mhrosiectau ymchwil.

Ymchwil
Technoleg glyfar mewn lleoliadau gofal cymdeithasol
A all technolegau cartrefi clyfar wella lles, annibyniaeth, unigrwydd a diogelwch mewn lleoliadau gofal cymdeithasol? Mewn cydweithrediad â sefydliadau gofal cymdeithasol, rwy'n ymchwilio i'r cwestiwn hwn ar gyfer oedolion hŷn a phobl ag anabledd dysgu (deallusol).
Mae technoleg glyfar yn dod yn fwyfwy hollbresennol ym mywyd bob dydd, a gallai gofal cymdeithasol fanteisio ar y datblygiadau hyn i ddatblygu modelau newydd o gymorth.
Mae technolegau clyfar prif ffrwd yn caniatáu i bobl reoli eu hamgylchedd cartref trwy orchmynion llais, gosod nodiadau atgoffa ar gyfer meddyginiaeth a threfniadau dyddiol, ychwanegu gwerth cymdeithasol, a darparu mwy o hygyrchedd na dyfeisiau traddodiadol.
Pendro Canfyddiadol Ystum Parhaus (PPPD, neu 'fertigo gweledol')
Darganfyddwch fwy ar dudalen we Dizzy Lab Prifysgol Caerdydd!
Rydym yn cydweithio â chlinigwyr vestibular yn Ysbyty Athrofaol Cymru sy'n ceisio deall mwy am achosion PPPD a chyflyrau pendro eraill, a datblygu offer gwell i'w mesur a'u hadsefydlu.
Rydym wedi datblygu gêm adsefydlu newydd ar y we ar gyfer fertigo gweledol o'r enw Balance-Land - gallwch ddysgu mwy amdano yma!
Mae ein hymchwil hyd yma wedi dangos bod symptomau vertigo gweledol yn rhyfeddol o gyffredin yn y boblogaeth gyffredinol a bod y cyflwr yn gysylltiedig ag osgoi a sensitifrwydd ar draws pob synhwyrau (h.y. nid yn unig wedi'i gyfyngu i'r golwg a'r vestibular).
Rydym hefyd wedi datblygu holiadur newydd, Graddfa Gorsensitifrwydd Caerdydd - Gweledol (CHYPS), sy'n diffinio ac yn mesur pedwar ffactor sensitifrwydd gweledol.
Os ydych chi'n glinigydd ac os hoffech gael mynediad i'n fideos sy'n dangos amgylcheddau sy'n sbardunau posibl ar gyfer PPPD, ewch i dudalen we prosiect PPPD Caerdydd .
Amgylcheddau synhwyraidd (amgylcheddau amlsynhwyraidd, ystafelloedd synhwyraidd) ar gyfer pobl awtistig, pobl ag anabledd dysgu a phobl â chyflyrau eraill
Gall amgylcheddau synhwyraidd gael effaith fawr ar ein lles - ydy'r golau yn rhy llachar? A oes gormod o sŵn cefndir? Ond gall ysgogiad synhwyraidd hefyd fod yn ymlaciol ac yn lleddfu pan fyddwn dan straen ac yn cynhyrfu.
Rydym yn archwilio gwahaniaethau unigol mewn profiadau synhwyraidd a phwysigrwydd amgylcheddau synhwyraidd mewn nifer o wahanol boblogaethau a lleoliadau. Mae'r rhain yn cynnwys, amgylcheddau aml-synhwyraidd (ystafelloedd synhwyraidd) mewn lleoliadau addysgol ar gyfer plant a phobl ifanc awtistig, amgylcheddau synhwyraidd yn y cartref ar gyfer pobl ag anabledd dysgu (deallusol), a gwahaniaethau unigol yn y boblogaeth gyffredinol.
Mewn cydweithrediad â Catherine Jones, rwy'n defnyddio ystafell synhwyraidd bwrpasol yng Nghanolfan Gwyddor Datblygiadol Dynol Prifysgol Caerdydd i ddeall mwy am sut a pham i ddefnyddio ystafelloedd synhwyraidd. Rydym wedi datblygu canllaw sy'n seiliedig ar dystiolaeth ar gyfer defnyddio ystafelloedd synhwyraidd mewn lleoliadau addysgol ar gyfer plant awtistig, y gellir ei weld yma
