“…For example, Affective Diary [78] translates bodily experiences into colorful and abstract body shapes indicating levels of arousal supporting participants to reflect on their past experiences. Affective Health system identified several experiential qualities of designs [22,67] such as update in real-time, ambiguous and open for interpretation.…”

“…Unlike the predominant focus on screenbased light emitting affective displays, we explored alternative materials in raw form such as thermochromic ones, heating elements, shape memory alloys, and vibrotactile actuators. Although both arousal and valence are important dimensions of affect [64], most wearable biosensors capture arousal [22,35,47,56,67,88] because of sensor's increased wearability and less invasive nature. This paper aims to explore the feasibility of smart materials and actuators to represent real-time arousal in everyday contexts through metaphors such as arousal is red, arousal is (haptic) intensity, arousal is heat, and how they shape people's subjective interpretations of their emotions.…”

Increasing HCI work on affective interfaces aimed to capture and communicate users' emotions in order to support self-understanding. While most such interfaces employ traditional screen-based displays, more novel approaches have started to investigate smart materials and actuators-based prototypes. In this paper, we describe our exploration of smart materials and actuators leveraging their temporal qualities as well as common metaphors for real-time representation of changes in arousal through visual and haptic modalities. This exploration provided rationale for the design and implementation of six novel wrist-worn prototypes evaluated with 12 users who wore them over 2 days. Our findings describe how people use them in daily life, and how their material-driven qualities such as responsiveness, duration, rhythm, inertia, aliveness and range shape people's emotion identification, attribution, and regulation. Our findings led to four design implications including support for affective chronometry for both raise and decay time of emotional response, design for slowness, and for expressiveness.

Purpose: Individuals rely upon many types of information to manage an illness, including information provided by their own bodies. This study investigated how people tune into and manage the flow of information from their bodies to manage their health. Method: We developed a platform for participants to share and collaboratively reflect on how they engaged in this dialogic process, in which participants contributed to a discussion on topics relating to body listening and body awareness. Though the study was open to anyone interested in or wanting to contribute to knowledge on “body listening,” the social media recruitment focused on chronic conditions requiring self-care and having overlapping symptomatology, with chronic pain as the primary characteristic. A qualitative analysis method based on grounded theory was used to analyse the data. Results: Six main themes emerged: learning the language, recognizing and heeding limits, experiencing emotional fatigue and despair, regulating the channel, moving from conflict to communication, and settling into an uneasy acceptance. Conclusion: The monitoring and filtering of information from one’s body, and the appeasement of conflicting demands and voices, is difficult work. Knowledge of this process can be used in patient education and in the development of tools to support body listening.

“…For example, Wang et al [15] explored the use of wearable sensors in combination with a patient's smartphone to upload long-term ECG data to the cloud. Researchers have explored mobile support for a variety of activities, such as stress management at home [13,14], physical training [12], and home monitoring for seniors [1,9]. However none of these projects have investigated the collection of clinical-grade ECG data.…”

The exising technologies used to capture Electrocardiograms (ECGs) pose a number of challenges, including bulky hardware, slow processing times, and inadequate built-in support for ensuring the quality of collected data. We worked with a major healthcare organization to develop mobile, tablet-based ECG hardware and software. In this work, we describe requirements gathering, design, development activities for our mobile ECG data collection solutions, followed by an initial user testing. The results of this research show the potential of mobile device-based ECGs in the clinical domain, and point to types of automation that the healthcare industry may resist and a need for care in automating the collection of ECGs.
