- Additional information
- It proposes a novel approach for effective behavioural changes by showing how our own footstep sounds, captured by, and fed-back through, wearable technology, positively change one’s perception of body size/capabilities. Evaluated through statistical analysis of sensed behavioural data and self-reports, and replicated in other everyday contexts (CHI’17). It led to: collaborations with RNO Hospital (UK) on CRPS (Frontiers Human Neuroscience 2017), Spanish hospital on stroke (Ann. NY-Academy-of-Science 2020) and anorexia (in preparation); two Spain-funded grants on technology for keeping people active (MagicShoes2, MagicOutfit); invitations to major dissemination events (David Byrne New York, Science Museum, Tate Gallery); strong UK/International Media attention.
