Chanua, based at Liverpool Science Park, creates services and products that foster healthy connections, using research, technology, games, psychology, data and good design to problem solve. Co-founded by director Naomi Mwasambili, she talks about making online spaces healthier, particularly for young people, and raises concern about the danger of online platforms mimicking offline mental health experiences by ethnic minority people, with “interventions reflecting the same inequalities, the same racism and the same disparities that we are seeing offline”.
