In this second episode of the Digital Health for All webinar series, we explore a fundamental but often overlooked question: who is actually being seen, represented, and considered when digital health tools are designed?.
From wearables and health apps to educational videos and clinical research, digital health increasingly shapes how we understand our bodies and access care. Yet, large gaps in representation persist. This episode examines why certain groups have historically been overlooked—and what researchers, healthcare professionals, educators, and developers can do to change that.
Featuring two expert guests: Eline Yager, Sports Scientist and PhD Researcher at University College Dublin, whose work focuses on the effects of female hormones on wearable-derived metrics and making sports science more inclusive for women.
Garrett Van Orskot, Assistant Professor at Dublin City University and physiotherapist, specializing in musculoskeletal health, patient education, and digital health education, with a focus on developing materials for adolescents with scoliosis.
