SMART Consortium

Self Management And Rehabilitation Technologies

Welcome to SMART 2

This is a joint project with partners from Sheffield Hallam University, University of Sheffield, University of Ulster and University of Bath. The project starts on January 1st 2008 and will be completed in December 2011. It is funded by the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council.

The aim of the project is to deepen understanding of the potential for technology in the support of self-management. This will be achieved by creating user-centred designs for technology, resulting in a personalised self-management system, and by carrying out extensive studies with the technology in use. Users with three common conditions, chronic pain, stroke and congestive heart failure will be involved in all stages of the project.
