EngD in Data Interaction for Remote Heart Failure Monitoring

Are you passionate about designing meaningful interactions between humans and data

Do you want to see your solutions directly improve patient care

In this position you will develop next-generation data interaction for remote heart failure monitoring working closely with clinicians engineers and industry in a hospital-driven environment.

Data is everywhere but turning data into actionable insights that people can effectively use remains a major this EngD project you will design develop and validate innovative data interaction solutions that enable users ranging from engineers to clinicians to make better faster and more informed decisions.

You will work at the intersection of data science human-computer interaction and system design. Your goal is to create intuitive robust and user-centered solutions that bridge the gap between complex data models and the real-world application: remote heart failure monitoring.

During this program you will:

• Design interactive systems that translate complex datasets into understandable and actionable insights.
• Develop prototypes of interactive data science architecture and data-driven applications including visualization dashboards and decision-support tools.
• Explore AI-assisted data interaction
• Collaborate closely with industrial and clinical partners to ensure relevance and real-world impact.
• Evaluate usability effectiveness and adoption of your designs through user studies and iterative refinement.
• Integrate technical human and organizational perspectives into a coherent design solution.

Your work contributes directly to societal challenges such as improving healthcare decision-making enhancing engineering workflows and enabling responsible use of data in professional environments.

• A masters degree (or an equivalent university degree) in Data Science Computer Science Human-Computer Interaction Electrical Engineering Biomedical Engineering or a related field.
• A design-oriented attitude with a strong interest in user-centered development.
• Affinity with data visualization interaction design or decision support systems.
• Ability to work in a team and interested in collaborating with industrial partners.
