Dr Kyle Montague

Kyle left the BESiDE team in 2016 to join Open Lab at Newcastle University as a Research Associate.

Researcher

My research interests lie in inclusive design, and creating accessible technologies. BESiDE presents an interesting opportunity to leverage computer technologies and sensors in order to support the design of more inclusive built environments that promote healthy living and wellbeing. My role within the BESiDE relates to the application of sensor technologies for tracing individual's activities and movements within the care home, and transforming this data into evidence and design tools to support built environment professionals.

Skills: Interaction Design, Human-computer interaction, accessibility

    BESiDE Method for Sensor-Based Analysis of Building Use in Care Homes

     

    The BESiDE team have developed a system for capturing quantitative data about how older adults utilise the indoor spaces in residential care homes. The system uses sensors and smart devices to collect data about residents’ movement and activities, and was successfully used in multiple studies in a number of homes.

    SiDE User Pool
    Celebration of Contributions to Research

    An Open day

    Around 90 older adults from across Scotland visited the School of Computing at the University of Dundee for a special event to celebrate their work helping researchers to develop more inclusive technologies.

    The Social Inclusion through the Digital Economy (SiDE) User Pool, based in Dundee and including members across Scotland supported 30 academics to complete 50 research activities over the last five years. The User Pool is comprised of individuals who volunteered to help research into the digital exclusion of older adults and people with disabilities.
