Summary

The Health Technologies group is participating in one of the UK's Next Stage Digital Economy Research Centres - DIGITLab. Within this wide consortium our researchers are investigating how latest computing technologies can benefit the wellbeing of personnel in the workplace. In particular, our group is interested in the effectiveness of ubiquitous sensing technologies and novel interface designs for the reporting and measurement of well-being in work related settings. Our objectives are to develop novel tools to measure markers related to stress, fatigue and affective states that also have a high user acceptability level, adherence that are also ethical and privacy preserving.
