The results show that GlowGrow, as an effective relaxation intervention, could efficiently guide pregnant women to perform deep breathing and manage physiological stress.<\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/redactie\/resources\/publication-glowgrow-2025.pd[...]<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Tianqin Lu, Qingyuan Lin, Bin Yu, Jun Hu<\/p>A systematic review of strategies in digital technologies for motivating adherence to chronic illness self-care<\/a> Journal Article<\/span> <\/p>In: <\/span>npj Health Systems, <\/span>vol. 2, <\/span>no. 13, <\/span>pp. 1-17, <\/span>2025<\/span>.<\/p>Links<\/a><\/span><\/p>@article{nokey,\r\ntitle = {A systematic review of strategies in digital technologies for motivating adherence to chronic illness self-care},\r\nauthor = {Tianqin Lu and Qingyuan Lin and Bin Yu and Jun Hu},\r\nurl = {https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/download\/?file=publication-chronicillnessself-care2025.pdf},\r\ndoi = {10.1038\/s44401-025-00017-4},\r\nyear = {2025},\r\ndate = {2025-01-01},\r\nurldate = {2025-01-01},\r\njournal = {npj Health Systems},\r\nvolume = {2},\r\nnumber = {13},\r\npages = {1-17},\r\npublisher = {Springer Nature},\r\nkeywords = {},\r\npubstate = {published},\r\ntppubtype = {article}\r\n}\r\n<\/pre><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/download\/?file=publication-chronicillnessself-c[...]<\/a><\/li><\/i>doi:10.1038\/s44401-025-00017-4<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Pingting Chen, Bin Yu, Xiaoqing Sun, Jiangnan Xia, Xinyu Liu, Xipei Ren<\/p>ZooWear: Animal-Inspired Head-Mounted Haptic Interfaces to Augment the Zoo Experience<\/a> Journal Article<\/span> <\/p>In: <\/span>International Journal of Human\u2013Computer Interaction, <\/span>pp. 1-26, <\/span>2025<\/span>.<\/p>Links<\/a><\/span><\/p>@article{nokey,\r\ntitle = {ZooWear: Animal-Inspired Head-Mounted Haptic Interfaces to Augment the Zoo Experience},\r\nauthor = {Pingting Chen and Bin Yu and Xiaoqing Sun and Jiangnan Xia and Xinyu Liu and Xipei Ren},\r\nurl = {https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/download\/?file=publication-zoowear-animal-inspired-head-mounted-haptic-interfaces-to-augment-the-zoo-experience.pdf},\r\nyear = {2025},\r\ndate = {2025-01-01},\r\nurldate = {2025-01-01},\r\njournal = {International Journal of Human\u2013Computer Interaction},\r\npages = {1-26},\r\npublisher = {Taylor & Francis},\r\nkeywords = {},\r\npubstate = {published},\r\ntppubtype = {article}\r\n}\r\n<\/pre><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/download\/?file=publication-zoowear-animal-inspi[...]<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Paula Collazo-Casti\u00f1eira, Roc\u00edo Rodr\u00edguez-Rey, Alfonso Joft, Somaya Ben Allouch, Doris Eglseer, Josje Schoufour, Eva Topinkov\u00e1, Peter Weijs, Yves Boirie, Macarena S\u00e1nchez-Izquierdo<\/p>Tailoring mHealth for Healthy Aging: Focus Group Study With Retirement-Age Adults<\/a> Journal Article<\/span> <\/p>In: <\/span>JMIR Mhealth Uhealth, <\/span>vol. 13, <\/span>pp. 1-18, <\/span>2025<\/span>.<\/p>

We conclude by outlining our future research to produce alternative ways of understanding the body in human-computer relationships.<\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>http:\/\/retroproject.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Publication-Attuned-Design-Pra[...]<\/a><\/li><\/i>doi:https:\/\/doi.org\/10.21606\/iasdr.2025.947<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Nataliia Kaminskaia, Rob Saunders, Kim Baraka, Somaya Ben Allouch<\/p>The Nudging Machine: Exploring Expressive Touch-Based Movement for Abstract Robots<\/a> Proceedings Article<\/span> <\/p>In: <\/span>pp. 381-386, <\/span>ACM, <\/span>2026<\/span>.<\/p>Links<\/a><\/span><\/p>@inproceedings{nokey,\r\ntitle = {The Nudging Machine: Exploring Expressive Touch-Based Movement for Abstract Robots},\r\nauthor = {Nataliia Kaminskaia, Rob Saunders, Kim Baraka and Somaya Ben Allouch},\r\ndoi = {10.1145\/3776734.3794420},\r\nyear = {2026},\r\ndate = {2026-03-16},\r\nurldate = {2026-03-16},\r\njournal = {Companion Proceedings of the 21st ACM\/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction},\r\npages = {381-386},\r\npublisher = {ACM},\r\nkeywords = {},\r\npubstate = {published},\r\ntppubtype = {inproceedings}\r\n}\r\n<\/pre><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>doi:10.1145\/3776734.3794420<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Marianne Bossema, Rob Saunders, Aske Plaat, Somaya Ben Allouch<\/p>Pluri-perspectivism in Human-Robot Co-creativity with Older Adults<\/a> Conference<\/span> <\/p>vol. 16132, <\/span>International Conference Social Robotics + AI <\/span>Springer Nature, <\/span>2026<\/span>, ISBN: 978-981-95-2382-5<\/span>.<\/p>Abstract<\/a><\/span> | Links<\/a><\/span><\/p>@conference{nokey,\r\ntitle = {Pluri-perspectivism in Human-Robot Co-creativity with Older Adults},\r\nauthor = {Marianne Bossema, Rob Saunders, Aske Plaat and Somaya Ben Allouch},\r\ndoi = {10.1007\/978-981-95-2382-5_23},\r\nisbn = {978-981-95-2382-5},\r\nyear = {2026},\r\ndate = {2026-01-02},\r\nurldate = {2026-01-02},\r\njournal = {Springer Nature},\r\nvolume = {16132},\r\npages = {327\u2013341},\r\npublisher = {Springer Nature},\r\nseries = {International Conference Social Robotics + AI},\r\nabstract = {This position paper explores pluri-perspectivism as a core element of human creative experience and its relevance to human\u2013robot co-creativity.

Close<\/a><\/p><\/div>This poster introduces Attuned Design Practice (ADP), a concept that examines how design practice can be used to interpret and articulate alternative understandings of studying human-computer relationships, by prior it ising \u2018embodied knowing\u2019 as an alternative design vocabulary. We shortly introduce the current state of scientific research in general, explain the notion of \u2018attunement\u2019, and show an existing framework that has inspired us to start an eighteen-months field study of body-based inquiry in the domains of Design, Art and Technology. In our field study, we have explored developmental paths of scientific and artistic inquiry towards constructing embodied knowledge, and have employed per formative techniques to examine affective, temporal, and somatic qualities in human-computer relationships. As a follow-up to our field study, we propose an Open Rehearsal framework that integrates (1) the preparation of design tools and instruments, (2) the enactment of per formative techniques at the intersection of artistic-scientific inquiry, and (3) the development of notation methods that attract, respond, and release compositional or per formative activity. Through a dynamic interplay of human intentionality, algorithmic responsiveness, and material agency, we investigate how embodied knowledge can be produced and mediated through Attuned Design Practice. We conclude by outlining our future research to produce alternative ways of understanding the body in human-computer relationships.<\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>http:\/\/retroproject.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Publication-Attuned-Design-Pra[...]<\/a><\/li><\/i>doi:https:\/\/doi.org\/10.21606\/iasdr.2025.947<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Nataliia Kaminskaia, Rob Saunders, Kim Baraka, Somaya Ben Allouch<\/p>The Nudging Machine: Exploring Expressive Touch-Based Movement for Abstract Robots<\/a> Proceedings Article<\/span> <\/p>In: <\/span>pp. 381-386, <\/span>ACM, <\/span>2026<\/span>.<\/p>Links<\/a><\/span><\/p>@inproceedings{nokey,\r\ntitle = {The Nudging Machine: Exploring Expressive Touch-Based Movement for Abstract Robots},\r\nauthor = {Nataliia Kaminskaia, Rob Saunders, Kim Baraka and Somaya Ben Allouch},\r\ndoi = {10.1145\/3776734.3794420},\r\nyear = {2026},\r\ndate = {2026-03-16},\r\nurldate = {2026-03-16},\r\njournal = {Companion Proceedings of the 21st ACM\/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction},\r\npages = {381-386},\r\npublisher = {ACM},\r\nkeywords = {},\r\npubstate = {published},\r\ntppubtype = {inproceedings}\r\n}\r\n<\/pre><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>doi:10.1145\/3776734.3794420<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Marianne Bossema, Rob Saunders, Aske Plaat, Somaya Ben Allouch<\/p>Pluri-perspectivism in Human-Robot Co-creativity with Older Adults<\/a> Conference<\/span> <\/p>vol. 16132, <\/span>International Conference Social Robotics + AI <\/span>Springer Nature, <\/span>2026<\/span>, ISBN: 978-981-95-2382-5<\/span>.<\/p>Abstract<\/a><\/span> | Links<\/a><\/span><\/p>@conference{nokey,\r\ntitle = {Pluri-perspectivism in Human-Robot Co-creativity with Older Adults},\r\nauthor = {Marianne Bossema, Rob Saunders, Aske Plaat and Somaya Ben Allouch},\r\ndoi = {10.1007\/978-981-95-2382-5_23},\r\nisbn = {978-981-95-2382-5},\r\nyear = {2026},\r\ndate = {2026-01-02},\r\nurldate = {2026-01-02},\r\njournal = {Springer Nature},\r\nvolume = {16132},\r\npages = {327\u2013341},\r\npublisher = {Springer Nature},\r\nseries = {International Conference Social Robotics + AI},\r\nabstract = {This position paper explores pluri-perspectivism as a core element of human creative experience and its relevance to human\u2013robot co-creativity.

The results show that GlowGrow, as an effective relaxation intervention, could efficiently guide pregnant women to perform deep breathing and manage physiological stress.<\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/redactie\/resources\/publication-glowgrow-2025.pd[...]<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Tianqin Lu, Qingyuan Lin, Bin Yu, Jun Hu<\/p>A systematic review of strategies in digital technologies for motivating adherence to chronic illness self-care<\/a> Journal Article<\/span> <\/p>In: <\/span>npj Health Systems, <\/span>vol. 2, <\/span>no. 13, <\/span>pp. 1-17, <\/span>2025<\/span>.<\/p>Links<\/a><\/span><\/p>@article{nokey,\r\ntitle = {A systematic review of strategies in digital technologies for motivating adherence to chronic illness self-care},\r\nauthor = {Tianqin Lu and Qingyuan Lin and Bin Yu and Jun Hu},\r\nurl = {https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/download\/?file=publication-chronicillnessself-care2025.pdf},\r\ndoi = {10.1038\/s44401-025-00017-4},\r\nyear = {2025},\r\ndate = {2025-01-01},\r\nurldate = {2025-01-01},\r\njournal = {npj Health Systems},\r\nvolume = {2},\r\nnumber = {13},\r\npages = {1-17},\r\npublisher = {Springer Nature},\r\nkeywords = {},\r\npubstate = {published},\r\ntppubtype = {article}\r\n}\r\n<\/pre><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/download\/?file=publication-chronicillnessself-c[...]<\/a><\/li><\/i>doi:10.1038\/s44401-025-00017-4<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Pingting Chen, Bin Yu, Xiaoqing Sun, Jiangnan Xia, Xinyu Liu, Xipei Ren<\/p>ZooWear: Animal-Inspired Head-Mounted Haptic Interfaces to Augment the Zoo Experience<\/a> Journal Article<\/span> <\/p>In: <\/span>International Journal of Human\u2013Computer Interaction, <\/span>pp. 1-26, <\/span>2025<\/span>.<\/p>Links<\/a><\/span><\/p>@article{nokey,\r\ntitle = {ZooWear: Animal-Inspired Head-Mounted Haptic Interfaces to Augment the Zoo Experience},\r\nauthor = {Pingting Chen and Bin Yu and Xiaoqing Sun and Jiangnan Xia and Xinyu Liu and Xipei Ren},\r\nurl = {https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/download\/?file=publication-zoowear-animal-inspired-head-mounted-haptic-interfaces-to-augment-the-zoo-experience.pdf},\r\nyear = {2025},\r\ndate = {2025-01-01},\r\nurldate = {2025-01-01},\r\njournal = {International Journal of Human\u2013Computer Interaction},\r\npages = {1-26},\r\npublisher = {Taylor & Francis},\r\nkeywords = {},\r\npubstate = {published},\r\ntppubtype = {article}\r\n}\r\n<\/pre><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/download\/?file=publication-zoowear-animal-inspi[...]<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Paula Collazo-Casti\u00f1eira, Roc\u00edo Rodr\u00edguez-Rey, Alfonso Joft, Somaya Ben Allouch, Doris Eglseer, Josje Schoufour, Eva Topinkov\u00e1, Peter Weijs, Yves Boirie, Macarena S\u00e1nchez-Izquierdo<\/p>Tailoring mHealth for Healthy Aging: Focus Group Study With Retirement-Age Adults<\/a> Journal Article<\/span> <\/p>In: <\/span>JMIR Mhealth Uhealth, <\/span>vol. 13, <\/span>pp. 1-18, <\/span>2025<\/span>.<\/p>

Therefore, managing stress promptly and maintaining emotional well-being is crucial for pregnant women to give a healthy birth and improve their postpartum life quality. Biofeedback is a secure and effective treatment for anxiety; nevertheless, conventional biofeedback systems often depend on intrusive sensors and require clinician support, thereby restricting their utilization primarily to clinical settings.

The results show that GlowGrow, as an effective relaxation intervention, could efficiently guide pregnant women to perform deep breathing and manage physiological stress.<\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/redactie\/resources\/publication-glowgrow-2025.pd[...]<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Tianqin Lu, Qingyuan Lin, Bin Yu, Jun Hu<\/p>A systematic review of strategies in digital technologies for motivating adherence to chronic illness self-care<\/a> Journal Article<\/span> <\/p>In: <\/span>npj Health Systems, <\/span>vol. 2, <\/span>no. 13, <\/span>pp. 1-17, <\/span>2025<\/span>.<\/p>Links<\/a><\/span><\/p>@article{nokey,\r\ntitle = {A systematic review of strategies in digital technologies for motivating adherence to chronic illness self-care},\r\nauthor = {Tianqin Lu and Qingyuan Lin and Bin Yu and Jun Hu},\r\nurl = {https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/download\/?file=publication-chronicillnessself-care2025.pdf},\r\ndoi = {10.1038\/s44401-025-00017-4},\r\nyear = {2025},\r\ndate = {2025-01-01},\r\nurldate = {2025-01-01},\r\njournal = {npj Health Systems},\r\nvolume = {2},\r\nnumber = {13},\r\npages = {1-17},\r\npublisher = {Springer Nature},\r\nkeywords = {},\r\npubstate = {published},\r\ntppubtype = {article}\r\n}\r\n<\/pre><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/download\/?file=publication-chronicillnessself-c[...]<\/a><\/li><\/i>doi:10.1038\/s44401-025-00017-4<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Pingting Chen, Bin Yu, Xiaoqing Sun, Jiangnan Xia, Xinyu Liu, Xipei Ren<\/p>ZooWear: Animal-Inspired Head-Mounted Haptic Interfaces to Augment the Zoo Experience<\/a> Journal Article<\/span> <\/p>In: <\/span>International Journal of Human\u2013Computer Interaction, <\/span>pp. 1-26, <\/span>2025<\/span>.<\/p>Links<\/a><\/span><\/p>@article{nokey,\r\ntitle = {ZooWear: Animal-Inspired Head-Mounted Haptic Interfaces to Augment the Zoo Experience},\r\nauthor = {Pingting Chen and Bin Yu and Xiaoqing Sun and Jiangnan Xia and Xinyu Liu and Xipei Ren},\r\nurl = {https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/download\/?file=publication-zoowear-animal-inspired-head-mounted-haptic-interfaces-to-augment-the-zoo-experience.pdf},\r\nyear = {2025},\r\ndate = {2025-01-01},\r\nurldate = {2025-01-01},\r\njournal = {International Journal of Human\u2013Computer Interaction},\r\npages = {1-26},\r\npublisher = {Taylor & Francis},\r\nkeywords = {},\r\npubstate = {published},\r\ntppubtype = {article}\r\n}\r\n<\/pre><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/download\/?file=publication-zoowear-animal-inspi[...]<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Paula Collazo-Casti\u00f1eira, Roc\u00edo Rodr\u00edguez-Rey, Alfonso Joft, Somaya Ben Allouch, Doris Eglseer, Josje Schoufour, Eva Topinkov\u00e1, Peter Weijs, Yves Boirie, Macarena S\u00e1nchez-Izquierdo<\/p>Tailoring mHealth for Healthy Aging: Focus Group Study With Retirement-Age Adults<\/a> Journal Article<\/span> <\/p>In: <\/span>JMIR Mhealth Uhealth, <\/span>vol. 13, <\/span>pp. 1-18, <\/span>2025<\/span>.<\/p>

The results show that GlowGrow, as an effective relaxation intervention, could efficiently guide pregnant women to perform deep breathing and manage physiological stress.<\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/redactie\/resources\/publication-glowgrow-2025.pd[...]<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Tianqin Lu, Qingyuan Lin, Bin Yu, Jun Hu<\/p>A systematic review of strategies in digital technologies for motivating adherence to chronic illness self-care<\/a> Journal Article<\/span> <\/p>In: <\/span>npj Health Systems, <\/span>vol. 2, <\/span>no. 13, <\/span>pp. 1-17, <\/span>2025<\/span>.<\/p>Links<\/a><\/span><\/p>@article{nokey,\r\ntitle = {A systematic review of strategies in digital technologies for motivating adherence to chronic illness self-care},\r\nauthor = {Tianqin Lu and Qingyuan Lin and Bin Yu and Jun Hu},\r\nurl = {https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/download\/?file=publication-chronicillnessself-care2025.pdf},\r\ndoi = {10.1038\/s44401-025-00017-4},\r\nyear = {2025},\r\ndate = {2025-01-01},\r\nurldate = {2025-01-01},\r\njournal = {npj Health Systems},\r\nvolume = {2},\r\nnumber = {13},\r\npages = {1-17},\r\npublisher = {Springer Nature},\r\nkeywords = {},\r\npubstate = {published},\r\ntppubtype = {article}\r\n}\r\n<\/pre><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/download\/?file=publication-chronicillnessself-c[...]<\/a><\/li><\/i>doi:10.1038\/s44401-025-00017-4<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Pingting Chen, Bin Yu, Xiaoqing Sun, Jiangnan Xia, Xinyu Liu, Xipei Ren<\/p>ZooWear: Animal-Inspired Head-Mounted Haptic Interfaces to Augment the Zoo Experience<\/a> Journal Article<\/span> <\/p>In: <\/span>International Journal of Human\u2013Computer Interaction, <\/span>pp. 1-26, <\/span>2025<\/span>.<\/p>Links<\/a><\/span><\/p>@article{nokey,\r\ntitle = {ZooWear: Animal-Inspired Head-Mounted Haptic Interfaces to Augment the Zoo Experience},\r\nauthor = {Pingting Chen and Bin Yu and Xiaoqing Sun and Jiangnan Xia and Xinyu Liu and Xipei Ren},\r\nurl = {https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/download\/?file=publication-zoowear-animal-inspired-head-mounted-haptic-interfaces-to-augment-the-zoo-experience.pdf},\r\nyear = {2025},\r\ndate = {2025-01-01},\r\nurldate = {2025-01-01},\r\njournal = {International Journal of Human\u2013Computer Interaction},\r\npages = {1-26},\r\npublisher = {Taylor & Francis},\r\nkeywords = {},\r\npubstate = {published},\r\ntppubtype = {article}\r\n}\r\n<\/pre><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/download\/?file=publication-zoowear-animal-inspi[...]<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Paula Collazo-Casti\u00f1eira, Roc\u00edo Rodr\u00edguez-Rey, Alfonso Joft, Somaya Ben Allouch, Doris Eglseer, Josje Schoufour, Eva Topinkov\u00e1, Peter Weijs, Yves Boirie, Macarena S\u00e1nchez-Izquierdo<\/p>Tailoring mHealth for Healthy Aging: Focus Group Study With Retirement-Age Adults<\/a> Journal Article<\/span> <\/p>In: <\/span>JMIR Mhealth Uhealth, <\/span>vol. 13, <\/span>pp. 1-18, <\/span>2025<\/span>.<\/p>

The results show that GlowGrow, as an effective relaxation intervention, could efficiently guide pregnant women to perform deep breathing and manage physiological stress.<\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/redactie\/resources\/publication-glowgrow-2025.pd[...]<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Tianqin Lu, Qingyuan Lin, Bin Yu, Jun Hu<\/p>A systematic review of strategies in digital technologies for motivating adherence to chronic illness self-care<\/a> Journal Article<\/span> <\/p>In: <\/span>npj Health Systems, <\/span>vol. 2, <\/span>no. 13, <\/span>pp. 1-17, <\/span>2025<\/span>.<\/p>Links<\/a><\/span><\/p>@article{nokey,\r\ntitle = {A systematic review of strategies in digital technologies for motivating adherence to chronic illness self-care},\r\nauthor = {Tianqin Lu and Qingyuan Lin and Bin Yu and Jun Hu},\r\nurl = {https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/download\/?file=publication-chronicillnessself-care2025.pdf},\r\ndoi = {10.1038\/s44401-025-00017-4},\r\nyear = {2025},\r\ndate = {2025-01-01},\r\nurldate = {2025-01-01},\r\njournal = {npj Health Systems},\r\nvolume = {2},\r\nnumber = {13},\r\npages = {1-17},\r\npublisher = {Springer Nature},\r\nkeywords = {},\r\npubstate = {published},\r\ntppubtype = {article}\r\n}\r\n<\/pre><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/download\/?file=publication-chronicillnessself-c[...]<\/a><\/li><\/i>doi:10.1038\/s44401-025-00017-4<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Pingting Chen, Bin Yu, Xiaoqing Sun, Jiangnan Xia, Xinyu Liu, Xipei Ren<\/p>ZooWear: Animal-Inspired Head-Mounted Haptic Interfaces to Augment the Zoo Experience<\/a> Journal Article<\/span> <\/p>In: <\/span>International Journal of Human\u2013Computer Interaction, <\/span>pp. 1-26, <\/span>2025<\/span>.<\/p>Links<\/a><\/span><\/p>@article{nokey,\r\ntitle = {ZooWear: Animal-Inspired Head-Mounted Haptic Interfaces to Augment the Zoo Experience},\r\nauthor = {Pingting Chen and Bin Yu and Xiaoqing Sun and Jiangnan Xia and Xinyu Liu and Xipei Ren},\r\nurl = {https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/download\/?file=publication-zoowear-animal-inspired-head-mounted-haptic-interfaces-to-augment-the-zoo-experience.pdf},\r\nyear = {2025},\r\ndate = {2025-01-01},\r\nurldate = {2025-01-01},\r\njournal = {International Journal of Human\u2013Computer Interaction},\r\npages = {1-26},\r\npublisher = {Taylor & Francis},\r\nkeywords = {},\r\npubstate = {published},\r\ntppubtype = {article}\r\n}\r\n<\/pre><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/download\/?file=publication-zoowear-animal-inspi[...]<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Paula Collazo-Casti\u00f1eira, Roc\u00edo Rodr\u00edguez-Rey, Alfonso Joft, Somaya Ben Allouch, Doris Eglseer, Josje Schoufour, Eva Topinkov\u00e1, Peter Weijs, Yves Boirie, Macarena S\u00e1nchez-Izquierdo<\/p>Tailoring mHealth for Healthy Aging: Focus Group Study With Retirement-Age Adults<\/a> Journal Article<\/span> <\/p>In: <\/span>JMIR Mhealth Uhealth, <\/span>vol. 13, <\/span>pp. 1-18, <\/span>2025<\/span>.<\/p>
Close<\/a><\/p><\/div>This position paper explores pluri-perspectivism as a core element of human creative experience and its relevance to human\u2013robot co-creativity. We propose a layered, five-dimensional model to guide the design of co-creative behaviors and the analysis of interaction dynamics. This model is based on literature and results from an interview study we conducted with 10 visual artists and 8 arts educators, examining how pluri-perspectivism supports creative practice. The findings of this study provide insight how robots could enhance human creativity through adaptive, context-sensitive behavior, demonstrating the potential of pluri-perspectivism. This paper outlines future directions for integrating pluri-perspectivism with vision-language models (VLMs), to support context sensitivity in co-creative robots.<\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>doi:10.1007\/978-981-95-2382-5_23<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Hangcheng Yang, Yuan-An Chan, Bin Yu, Yi-Ping Hung, Panos Markopoulos, Rong-Hao Liang<\/p>MindFlow: Breathing-Integrated Progressive Muscle Relaxation with a Full-Body Self-Avatar in Virtual Reality<\/a> Proceedings Article<\/span> <\/p>In: <\/span>Proceedings of the 2025 ACM DIS Conference, <\/span>pp. 1658-1673, <\/span>2025<\/span>.<\/p>Abstract<\/a><\/span> | Links<\/a><\/span><\/p>@inproceedings{nokey,\r\ntitle = {MindFlow: Breathing-Integrated Progressive Muscle Relaxation with a Full-Body Self-Avatar in Virtual Reality},\r\nauthor = {Hangcheng Yang and Yuan-An Chan and Bin Yu and Yi-Ping Hung and Panos Markopoulos and Rong-Hao Liang},\r\nurl = {https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/download\/?file=publication-mindflow.pdf},\r\ndoi = {10.1145\/3715336.3735713},\r\nyear = {2025},\r\ndate = {2025-01-01},\r\nurldate = {2025-01-01},\r\nbooktitle = {Proceedings of the 2025 ACM DIS Conference},\r\npages = {1658-1673},\r\nabstract = {Breathing exercises and Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) have complementary effects, making their integration a common practice among relaxation techniques.

The system demonstrates effectiveness in enhancing relaxation and reducing anxiety in novice users, based on empirical results from a 24-participant user study, offering generalizable insights for the\r\ndesign of embodied mindfulness systems and further research on mindfulness support in virtual and mixed reality.<\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/i>https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/download\/?file=publication-mindflow.pdf<\/a><\/li><\/i>doi:10.1145\/3715336.3735713<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Mengru Xue, Bin Yu, Jiang Wu, Xu Sun, Peidi Fang, Cheng Yao, Fangtian Ying, Shijian Luo, Sheng Zhang<\/p>GlowGrow: Designing an ambient biofeedback system for pregnancy stress management<\/a> Journal Article<\/span> <\/p>In: <\/span>PLOS One, <\/span>vol. 20, <\/span>no. 6, <\/span>2025<\/span>.<\/p>Abstract<\/a><\/span> | Links<\/a><\/span><\/p>@article{nokey,\r\ntitle = {GlowGrow: Designing an ambient biofeedback system for pregnancy stress management},\r\nauthor = {Mengru Xue and Bin Yu and Jiang Wu and Xu Sun and Peidi Fang and Cheng Yao and Fangtian Ying and Shijian Luo and Sheng Zhang},\r\nurl = {https:\/\/www.digitallifecentre.nl\/redactie\/resources\/publication-glowgrow-2025.pdf},\r\nyear = {2025},\r\ndate = {2025-01-01},\r\nurldate = {2025-01-01},\r\njournal = {PLOS One},\r\nvolume = {20},\r\nnumber = {6},\r\nabstract = {Pregnancy can be challenging for women as they experience various physical, psychological, and social changes that can lead to stress and potential mental health concerns.
