Hemophilia, a bleeding disorder, is divided into types A and B, resulting from coagulation factors VIII and IX deficiencies. The levels of these clotting factors in the body determine the severity of hemophilia. The classification includes severe, moderate, and mild hemophilia. Managing hemophilia involves options like on-demand and prophylactic tr...
Generative AI has had a profound impact on various sectors since mid-2022. The rapid adoption by students poses challenges for student assessment and raises concerns about student development. This thesis delves into the subject and proposes a positive implementation in education through play-based learning. The project uses a human-centred iterati...
This graduation project aims to contribute to an emotionally-safe, i.e. comfortable and trauma-free, hospitalization experience for children. Hospitalization can be emotionally threatening and traumatizing for children. Children have to undergo multiple medical examinations, in a setting that is unfamiliar to them. Resilience is needed to cope with...
An exploration into the design of a portable music player for people with Alzheimer's and dementia.
The demand for robots in the industry is increasing. Organisations acknowledge the need to innovate in order to keep up with the competition. When robots were first introduced, they took over human tasks if they could execute the task faster than humans. However, this often has a negative effect on the meaningfulness of work. That’s why cobots were...
Educators increasingly agree on the importance of teaching Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) to Computer Science (CS) students, but there is debate on how to best integrate HCI into CS curricula. Unfortunately, standard course evaluations typically do not provide sufficient insights for improving HCI classes. In the present article, we used a human-...
Design thinking has become increasingly popular in academic, professional, and colloquial communities as a means to address complex problems. In an era where responses to global issues, such as the climate crisis, may have long lasting impressions on the human condition, it is important that the methods for solving these problems are setting solid ...
The use of autonomous agents is an ever-growing possibility in our day-to-day life and, in some cases, already a reality. One future use might be autonomous robots performing last mile deliveries, a service the company HUGO delivery is currently developing. The goal of developing their autonomous delivery robot HUGO is to reduce the emissions from ...
Designers and HCI researchers from industry and academia have been exploring the opportunities that emerge from incorporating behavioral data into the design process. For this, designers employ and combine data from multiple sources, multiple scales, and types to obtain valuable insights that inform and support design decisions. This combination un...
