Peter Lovei

Former Data Designer at Philips Experience Design, got his PhD at the Industrial Design department of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His main research interest lies in the intersection of computer science and design research. He is applying and improving the data-enabled design process by developing scalable and modular components that can be applied across a wide range of care pathways. He is achieving this via his research through design projects around the topics of sleep, pregnancy, elderly care, improvement of clinical care for cardiovascular patients, and patients who underwent a bariatric surgery. He is one of the lecturers in the Data-enabled Design Master course. In his lectures he is explaining the technical background of DED and how to scale the approach in larger studies.
