Self-tracking has become omnipresent in our daily lives. By providing insights into how work practices relate to performance or (physical and mental) health, quantified-self technologies (QST) have also made their way into the world of work. ...

Telemonitoring (TM) systems are not widely used by Dutch Heart Failure (HF) clinics and previous research provides inconclusive evidence for their effectiveness in HF care. To understand the underlying causes, we conducted an interview study with a ...

Given the growing interest in learnersourcing -- a pedagogically supported form of crowdsourcing that harnesses the knowledge and creativity of learners for the creation of learning resources -- we propose a theoretical framework to study, design, and ...

The uptake of open science resources needs knowledge construction on the side of the readers/receivers of scientific content. The design of technologies surrounding open science resources can facilitate such knowledge construction, but this has not been ...

In spite of the great potential of on-body vibrotactile displays for a variety of applications, research lacks an understanding of the spacing between vibrotactile actuators. Through two experiments, we systematically investigate vibrotactile perception ...

The aim of this workshop is to address the role that human autonomy presently receives in HCI research and how “autonomous technologies” might challenge, rather than facilitate human autonomy. We acknowledge a need for new ways of understanding HCI and ...

In this paper, we present design implications for the creation of digital maps in the context of wayfinding systems for children. In the process, we engaged 70 children in drawing the cognitive maps of their journey from home to school. Conducted in ...

Despite being overlooked by technology designers, digital sources and online channels are still the most popular places for LGBTQ+ people to seek health information after medical professionals, due to fears of discrimination and stigma [5, 4, 6]. Most ...

Various technologies (e.g., tablets, toolkits, and digital toys) are used in schools. However, they are often designed to introduce new play practices for serving pre-defined learning purposes. In this study, we are interested in constructive play 'in ...

Sharing personal digital information online has been a common activity for many years. However, the recent rise of sharing economy services has since expanded the set of "things" one can share. How does the sharing of such physical artifacts differ from ...

One design challenge of tangible reading systems is how to leverage the design of physical properties to best support the learning process. In this paper, we present an exploratory study which investigated how 18 young adults who learn English as a ...

While popular digital maps support an unprecedented number of use cases, new reference map customization tools have been created for purposes for which those maps fall short. With the goal of informing the design of this new class of cartographic tools, ...

Over the years online health communities (OHCs) have become an important source of information regarding health management and a place for social interaction and emotional support. Previous research suggested that these two types of social support have ...

Amongst industry today, construction managers have some of the highest level of work-family conflict (WFC) primarily due to long work hours, tight deadlines and a masculine working culture. Despite this, there is a paucity of research about the impact ...

People's sedentary lifestyle is connected with serious health threats. The goal of our research is to gain novel insights on ways in which movement during knowledge work can be increased. We propose and study mobile technology mediated walking meetings. ...

Body-based interfaces have recently attracted much attention. In such interfaces, gross motor skills are critical in providing a safe and pleasant experience. However, little is known about gross motor performance, particularly on the age-related ...

Due to their situated nature, digital public displays have the potential to provide information and messages to large groups of people. However, in practice, non-customised content typically is not relevant to every passerby, while personalising ...

Autonomous agents are rapidly becoming collaborative partners in addressing diverse industry and social problem domains. With this shift brings a number of challenges and opportunities in understanding and designing for the dynamics involved in human ...

Research suggests smartphone users face 'application overload', but literature lacks an in-depth investigation of how users manage their time on smartphones. In a 3-week study we collected smartphone application usage patterns from 21 participants to ...

The spreading of mobile devices to all areas of everyday life impacts many contexts of use, including cars. Even though driving itself has remained relatively unchanged, there are now a wide variety of new in-car tasks, which people perform with both ...
