While effective gathering and analysis of data promises to create better understandings of situations and systems, the human experience of data is often left unexamined. In this presentation, Professor Margot Brereton covers case studies in maternal health, ageing and radiology, in order to reveal human experiences of data, and how we might rethink design of systems in order to support better human experiences.
