EPI-DOME Public Engagement Event

16 March 2022, 6.00 PM - 16 March 2022, 7.00 PM

Online

Join our online meeting and share your thoughts on a future medical technology!

Waiting for wounds to heal can be a frustrating process, whether you lead an active life or not. Speeding up this process is better for everyone, and that is exactly what our research team is trying to do.

The EPI-DOME is a concept for a future technology to accelerate wound healing. We know that light exposure can speed up cell regeneration, so we are trying to harness this in an autonomous medical device. The EPI-DOME concept involves precisely directing light at cells in a wound based on real-time, highly magnified camera images. This is intended to be autonomously controlled (meaning that the device will figure out for itself where to direct the light) so that the device can be used in a person's home, or even on the move, without supervision from a healthcare professional.

We are still in the early stages of developing this technology, but we want to find out about what people think of what we have done so far. Is the device something you would be willing to use? Do you have any concerns about how it would work?  Would you trust a device to work by itself, without supervision?

This event is an opportunity for you to find out more about the technology and let us know what you think about it. We will kick off with a talk from us about the EPI-DOME and how it might fit into clinical practice. You will also have the opportunity to see some images and videos of the EPI-DOME and how it works. We will then open up the floor to you!

After the event, attendees will be sent a short online feedback form. Filling this out is optional, and your answers will be collected anonymously. Your feedback will help us as we continue our research, ensuring that we are attentive to the thoughts of potential future users of the EPI-DOME.

You can register using this form.

We hope you can join us!
