Advancing people-centred technologies research

Advancing people-centred technologies enhances people's overall quality of life and addresses specific challenges faced by various groups, including marginalised communities. Engaging users in the design and development process empowers them to influence solutions that directly affect their lives, and ethical considerations such as privacy and data security helps ensure technological advancements benefit society rather than exploit it. The impact emerging from Surrey research is instrumental in creating a more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable society, ultimately leading to improved well-being and empowerment for all individuals.
