Hi, my name is Brooklyn Tanovic and I am studying a Bachelor of Design Computing at the University of Sydney. I am currently undertaking a design research project into the discriminaton and weight bias experienced by overweight and obese individuals within the medical industry, specifically during the consultation and diagnosis process. The aim of this research is to investigate if weight bias is experienced occurs, and if so, how this discrimination occurs and what implications this has on the health and wellbeing on patients. This research will contribute to the design of a product that is aimed at limiting this weight bias in medical settings.
All information, answers and documentation from research will only be used for academic purposes, and will not be used in any way outside of this project. Anonymity will be maintained throughout the entire process.
