Elisa Cardamone

Elisa is a PhD student at the Advanced Care Research Centre, where she focuses on questions of 'usefulness' regarding digital devices for older adults. As a medical anthropologist working across design and engineering, she is interested in technology's potential to reshape communities by creating new meanings, practices, and choices while ageing at home.

Elisa’s project explores how we can empathise with the lived experience of ageing populations, designing digital services and products that respond to their hopes and fears. Central to her research is exploring, through co-creation and ethnographic methods, how empathy in design can act as a catalyst for social change, reconnecting people, redefining longevity, and leading to a more sustainable future and a fairer society.
