User Experience / Mobile Health / Personal Informatics - Focus area
Focus Area: User Experience / Mobile Health / Personal Informatics
"User Experience / Mobile Health / Personal Informatics" is focused in general on agile prototyping of novel types of interfaces supporting the interaction between people and software, based on human centred design and with elements of cognitive modeling. This may more specifically, but is not limited to, be focused towards applications in digital and mobile health, or it may involve individuals applying empirical methods and active/passive sensing, allowing them to observe phenomena of personal relevance with the aim to explore personal questions, to reason and learn from personal data with consequential benefits for daily living, quality of life, and well-being.
