Research Experience at UNESP Brazil: Bridging VR, Prosthesis Design, and Patient Participation
Recently, we had the incredible opportunity provided by CAPES to spend time researching at UNESP Brazil, Bauru, where they focused on developing research in Virtual Reality (VR) and arm prosthesis design. In addition to the research, we also had the privilege of imparting knowledge on design thinking, participatory design, and the critical role of patient involvement in the co-production of services. This hands-on experience, coupled with the chance to teach and learn, was a deeply enriching journey. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to our Brazilian colleagues for their invaluable contributions, engaging discussions, and wonderful cooperation that made this exchange a truly rewarding experience. We look forward to more such international collaborations that foster knowledge exchange and innovation in health design.
