The Anthropology of Smartphones and Smart Ageing
REFNo: SS141ES
This project will investigate fundamental changes in people’s relationship to age and health associated with the global rise of the smartphone. The aim is to combine an intellectual challenge in understanding the contemporary nature of age and the impact of new media, with an applied challenge to use this knowledge to help make mHealth (mobile health) interventions more effective. mHealth has potential both for helping those with limited access to professional care but also threatens to bypass and undermine professional medical services. Our aim is to complement technology-led mHealth interventions with ethnography-led participatory design, consisting of a three-way collaboration between mHealth professionals, our ethnographically informed team and our informants in the field. We aim to demonstrate how such collaborations can lead to more culturally appropriate mHealth interventions and more effective improvements in people’s lives.

No One Left Behind? A Study on the Human Rights of Women Living With HIV/AIDS in Uganda
REFNo: SS140ES
A study on adult women living with HIV/AIDS in Uganda. The study will include an examination of how women’s rights are integrated into HIV/AIDS-related laws, policies, programs, and initiatives in Uganda. We will further examine any challenges that women may face in family life, healthcare settings, or in the workplace because of their status, as well as any distinction in the experiences of women in urban versus rural settings. We hope that this research will help support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3 – good health and well-being and 5 gender equality.
