EMOTIONAL DESIGN AS A CORNERSTONE FOR EMOTIONAL ENHANCEMENT

Daya, 2018
In Mexico, a benefit that several companies bring to workers is health insurance in public hospitals. However, as public hospitals have become one of the most popular places in recent years, overpopulation in these institutions has been noticed. In certain occasions, patients need to have a close relative to help them perform activities within the ...

Thermoresponsive Soft and Self‐Anchoring Cuff Electrode for Chronic Peripheral Interfaces

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel thermoresponsive, soft and self‐anchoring (TSSA) cuff electrode utilizing shape memory polymers achieves autonomous, sutureless peripheral nerve fixation. Driven by thermally induced pre‐strain and tissue adhesion, the device self‐closes and softens at body temperature, successfully minimizing mechanical mismatch. This adaptive platform ensures

Smart Textile Design: A Systematic Review of Materials and Technologies for Textile Interaction and User Experience Evaluation Methods

Technologies
Creating meaningful interactions using smart textiles involves both a comprehensive understanding of relevant materials and technologies (M&T) and how users engage with this type of interface. Despite its relevance to design research, user experience (UX)

A Novel Drug‐Loaded Porous Parylene Electrode for Targeted Anti‐Inflammatory Therapy and Hearing Preservation in Cochlear Implantation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A porous parylene‐coated electrode loaded with dexamethasone was developed to reduce inflammation after cochlear implantation. In guinea pigs, the device provided sustained drug release, maintained biocompatibility, improved auditory brainstem response thresholds, and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and TNF‐α expression.

Emotional design : an investigation into designers' perceptions of incorporating emotions in software

, 2008
In my teaching and software development practice, I realized that most applications with human-computer interaction do not respond to usersâ emotional needs. The dualism of reason and emotion as two fairly opposite entities that dominated Western philosophy was also reflected in software design. Computing was originally intended to provide applications

Continual Learning for Multimodal Data Fusion of a Soft Gripper

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Models trained on a single data modality often struggle to generalize when exposed to a different modality. This work introduces a continual learning algorithm capable of incrementally learning different data modalities by leveraging both class‐incremental and domain‐incremental learning scenarios in an artificial environment where labeled data is ...

The Emotional Alignment Design Policy

Topoi
Abstract We articulate and defend the Emotional Alignment Design Policy , according to which artificial entities should be designed to elicit emotional reactions from users that appropriately reflect the entities’ capacities and moral status, or lack thereof.
