[Mathias Nordvall]

Hello everyone in the LiU Design network,

I hope you all have had a relaxing Easter, and looking forward to the
second half of the semester. In a couple of weeks we'll have a seminar at
IDA that might be of interest to some of you.

You're all therefore most kindly invited to our upcoming seminar on

Afterwards we'll have lunch at Universitetsklubben for everyone that wants
to continue the discussion in a more relaxed fashion. Let me know if you
want join, and I'll book a seat for you.

In this morning panel, researchers from KTH and RISE Interactive Institute
who are currently investigating the topic of digital women’s health will
present several research projects where they have used design to reimagine
and reconfigure the future technologies for women’s health. These design
projects address subjects such as menstrual cycle tracking, pelvic floor
training, norm criticism in body visualization, breastfeeding location
finding, and the future of contraception.

Biographies

Teresa Almeida is a postdoc in Interaction Design at KTH Royal Institute of
Technology, Sweden. Her work explores design-oriented human-computer
interaction (HCI) and design research practices with a focus on women’s
health.

Marie Louise Juul Søndergaard is a PhD candidate in Digital Design at
Aarhus University, Denmark, currently visiting researcher at KTH
Interaction Design. Her research is focused on critical-feminist design
practices and issues of gender and sexuality in intimate technologies.

Sarah Homewood is a PhD student at the IT University of Copenhagen,
Denmark, currently visiting researcher at KTH Interaction Design. She uses
design based research to probe the effects of self-tracking on how we
experience our bodies, particularly within the field of women’s health.

Madeline Balaam is an Associate Professor in Interaction Design at KTH
Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden. Her current research includes
‘Digital Women’s Health’, which is focused on improving women's access and
experiences in health, and rethinking interactions with digital for
intimate care.

Madeleine Kusoffsky is an interaction designer at RISE Interactive, an
applied design and IT-research institute in the field of visualization.
Working with interactive 3D-visualization and how it might better address
women's concerns of normality in vulva appearance. Reflecting through
design on how the process of modelling relates to ideas of equality and
diversity.
