Co-design methods for eliciting patient needs for wrist splint design (2019)
Journal Article
Pyatt, C., Sinclair, M., & Bibb, R. (2019). Co-design methods for eliciting patient needs for wrist splint design. Design for Health, 3(2), 240-260. https://doi.org/10.1080/24735132.2019.1685856

Wrist splints are a common treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, however, their effectiveness is compromised by patients not wearing splints as prescribed. Previous research has identified reasons for non-compliance, but typically lacks insights that c... Read More about Co-design methods for eliciting patient needs for wrist splint design.

Consumer Intervention Mapping - A Tool for Designing Future Product Strategies within Circular Product Service Systems (2018)
Journal Article

Journal Article
McGhee, J., Sinclair, M., Southee, D., & Wijayantha, U. (2018). Strain sensing characteristics of 3D‐printed conductive plastics. Electronics Letters, 54(9), 570-572. https://doi.org/10.1049/el.2018.0363

Three types of commercially available conductive three-dimensional (3D) printing filament are electrically characterised for use in 3D-printed functional devices. The three plastics were carbon dispersed acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, carbon disper... Read More about Strain sensing characteristics of 3D‐printed conductive plastics.

Connoisseurship as a substitute for user research? The case of the Swiss watch industry (2015)
Journal Article
Sinclair, M. (2015). Connoisseurship as a substitute for user research? The case of the Swiss watch industry. Journal of Research Practice, 11(2),

Conventional wisdom holds that new product development is more successfully undertaken when design is user led. An exception is the luxury goods sector, in which a common presentation of the brand is one where the customer should aspire to the vision...
