Ms Marianne Dee
Researcher
I am interested in people and older adults in particular, looking at how they experience technologies in modern life. I have extensive experience of working with older adults and enjoy bridging the gap between expert researchers / developers and the potential users of those technologies. My background is in sociology and information science with a focus on making information accessible. I am responsible for developing, organising and managing a large user pool of older adults as representative participants for research studies. Within BESiDE I am interviewing care home workers, visitors, residents and their families about their experiences of care home buildings. The interviews are producing evidence allowing us a greater understanding of how the care home building can enhance or impede the health and well-being of the residents in particular.
Skills: participant recruitment and engagement; communication skills; user centred research; social inclusion.
