“…Recent developments in computing and design propagate designs for well-being (e.g., [7,15,37]), mindfulness (e.g., [3,47]), (soma)esthetic appreciation [21], mental and physical health (e.g., [9,13,35]). To this end, researcher build on foundations and advances in affective computing and user experience research and take inspirations from emerging (interdisciplinary) fields, such as positive computing [10], somaesthetics [38], and mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) [23].…”

Have you ever experienced a mirror that not only "sees" how you see yourself, but tells you how others perceive you? May such a smartmirror help not only adapt/improve oneself externally (look) but also internally (mood, emotions)? What are the expectations, fears (privacy)? The acceptance of such a smart thing requires approaches that go beyond technology-driven designs. In this paper, we report on the construction of an affective emotion-sensitive smartmirror as a smart piece of furniture for smarthomes and explorative studies with that system which address somaesthetics and aims to help inhabitants in self-reflection. The paper presents and discusses the prototype implementation and the results of a study in which the ideas, concerns, and experiences for/with the self-reflection capabilities of the affective smartmirror were explored by participants using the prototype as a technology probe.

“…This joint community started as “a gathering of researchers from health, psychology, psychiatry, and human-computer interaction (HCI) meeting together to consider ways technology can be used to improve psychological wellbeing” (pg 3439) [ 5 ]. At the first gathering in 2016, we introduced a schematic and taxonomy to conceptualize technologies to support mental health and well-being (see Figure 1 ).…”

We describe an initiative to bring mental health researchers, computer scientists, human-computer interaction researchers, and other communities together to address the challenges of the global mental ill health epidemic. Two face-to-face events and one special issue of the Journal of Medical Internet Research were organized. The works presented in these events and publication reflect key state-of-the-art research in this interdisciplinary collaboration. We summarize the special issue articles and contextualize them to present a picture of the most recent research. In addition, we describe a series of collaborative activities held during the second symposium and where the community identified 5 challenges and their possible solutions.

“…In recent years, the human-computer interaction (HCI) community has given growing importance to interaction design for promoting mental health and well-being (Calvo et al, 2016). This increasing interest has given rise to new research and development areas within HCI, including "Positive Technology" Riva et al, 2012) and "Positive Computing" , which aim to integrate the scientific principles of well-being into the design of interactive systems.…”

“…POsiTiVE TECHnOLOgY, COmPUTing, AnD DEsign V. Emerging AreasDesigning for digital experience that promotes psychological flourishing is not a straightforward task as it requires the integration of scientific knowledge and theory relating to those factors known to make life more fulfilling, with the technological expertise required to turn these factors into practical services and applications.In recent years, the human-computer interaction (HCI) community has given growing importance to interaction design for promoting mental health and well-being (Calvo et al, 2016). Furthermore, the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) is not limited to the long hours that we spend at the office.…”
