Project Summary
Purpose
Uppsala Social Robotics Lab conducts research on Social Robots in various contexts. My research area focused on using social assistive robots in maternal healthcare to screen women for peripartum depression.
Approach
I worked in multidisciplinary teams, independently and/or in collaboration with researchers from other Swedish universities. The work included to create scenarios and program social robots for hypothetical use cases, to later be used as research material. I planned, conducted, analysed and compiled the research with colleagues.
Impact
Our studies was submitted and accepted for the Human-Robot Interaction Conference in 2022 and 2023. I presented our studies via video at the conference.

Project Summary
Purpose
Flow is a medication-free treatment for depression comprising a brain stimulation headset and therapy app. It is the first approved treatment of its kind in Europe available to buy and use at home. The stakeholders for this project were interested to know how the initial product setup and usage was perceived by target users.
Approach
The research aim was to find usability issues with first-time users of Flow along with attitudinal product impressions. The work included unsupervised usability tests, that yielded qualitative and quantitative data (n=40).
Impact
The findings included some usability issues. A solution was presented that allowed the user to adapt the stimulation strength, to make the users feel in control of the neuro adapting sensation.

Project Summary
Purpose
Mind More provides digitized cognitive tests to healthcare professionals to measure and evaluate patients cognitive abilities. This project explored potential usability issues with their platform.
Approach
We conducted supervised usability tests of two cognitive test batteries with relevant patient groups. We collected data through semi-structured interviews, observations and questionnaires.
Impact
The data were triangulated by observations from video recordings participant statements and statistical indications from the questionnaire. We provided design suggestions on how to address the usability issues to the stakeholders.
