We’ve worked with international patients of all ages, researching conditions such as: ITP, COPD, PAH, MS, MD, OA, conduct disorder, back pain, Niemann-Pick, Sickle Cell, cancer, and diabetes.
Although most of our health-related work is confidential, below are some examples we can share. Included are: examples of ethnography in the UK and Ireland; vox pops; remote/digital research; photo ethnography; and ethnographic research using only pure co-discovery.
