Title: Co-designing child-friendly Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Project web page in HEAL website: Co-designing child-friendly Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) – HEAL 2020-2021 (qut.edu.au)
Brief Abstract
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) has become ubiquitous in 2020 due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Yet, PPE can be scary, unfriendly, and confronting for children. Working with Sunshine Coast University Hospital and Queensland Children’s Hospital, this project aims to develop less frightening PPE for the staff to wear, so that the children they interact with are less afraid.
