Wounds mark the fault lines of modern care.

They don’t just happen to bodies - they happen to systems.

They expose where care unravels: In strained services, in communities of scarcity, in overstretched nursing systems, in lives stretched by poverty and neglect.

Each wound marks a place where the social body itself has been hurt.

At the Innovation in MedTech and Diagnostics Conference 2025 (London, Oct 21), Chris will explore how rethinking wounds as Real Lived Experience (RLX) fields - not just sites of pathology - opens an exciting new frontier for diagnostics, design, and system transformation.

Moving beyond dressings and devices, the Wound Experience Field reframes innovation around the real - where affect, materiality, relation, trust, meaning and many other factors shape healing (and prevention) as much as biology does.

Join the conversation on how Design with Real Lived Experience helps create new forms of experiential, relational, perceptual, and ethical intelligence across the next wave of MedTech, Digital and NHS transformation.

Join Chris Lawer, Umio founder on 1st April at 16:30 (UK time) for a live webinar where he will share the emerging contours of a more radical way to see, sense, design, and co-create value and impact in health, care, and wider systems.

At the core of this approach is a new capacity - what we call Experiential Perception: The ability to perceive and intuit the dynamic, relational, and evolving experiences of others as they navigate conditions, transitions, and life-worlds.

In this talk, Chris shall demonstrate how Bergson - our lived experience insight app - activates this capacity to go beyond the numbers, beyond the symptoms, and into the real affective and systemic realities of living with illness, disability, or change.

This shift opens up powerful new possibilities for care, prevention, empowerment, recovery, and design - ones that truly respond to how people live, not just what they report.

Introducing the New Bergson

Trained on Umio frameworks and redesigned with your feedback, Bergson is a live, AI-powered insight platform built to support:
