Digital Diversity Living Lab is forming as a hub of a collective of lived experience and digital expertise people.
The aim is to discover and define ways digital could enable inclusive research and co-development of innovative practices, products and services serving underserved and misunderstood communities.
These span domains of work, life support, health, care and education across interconnected needs and systems around them.
Into this mix, DDLL leverages long-term industry network links and convening platforms such as Tech London Advocates, British Computing Society, Royal Society of Arts. It assembles specialists and subject-matter experts as needed for collaborative projects.
We seek to establish cross-disciplinary partnerships for a number of research projects and ventures.
As an inclusive R&D social enterprise, we apply digital to inclusive research qualitative methods to understand and uncover the unique and subjective experience of marginalised audiences, construct their context through systems mapping and leveraging our specialised knowledgebase and subject-matter experts to build a clear picture of needs and their ecosystem.
We apply our tech expertise and lived experience to experiment with ideas that leverage emerging technologies, end to end embedded co-production that works to specific strengths to co-create solutions with accessible prototyping material to test and shape them collectively and bring them to market.
