Biography

Naomi Jacobs is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Twente, focusing on bioethics with a strong emphasis on new medical technologies. Her research operates at the intersection of bioethics and technology ethics. She is dedicated to exploring Capability Sensitive Design and Value Sensitive Design, particularly in the context of emerging data-driven health technologies. Jacobs is especially interested in the ethical implications of designing new health technologies that assist individuals in achieving health, while also being mindful of the potential to exacerbate existing vulnerabilities. Her work critically examines the moral significance of vulnerability and seeks to ensure that philosophical insights around (epistemic) justice are integrated into design practices. By bridging philosophical concepts with pragmatic design strategies, she aims to influence the creation of inclusive and ethically responsible health solutions.
