Purpose and goal
The project reached its purpose and goal since the proposed demonstrator showed that well-being can be measured digitally in an easy and relevant way (in real-time). Well-being was considered to be the combination of environmental data and bio data (arousal, heart rate etc) i.e. in a short-term perspective. Many possibilities were seen e.g. that it is flexible and can be connected to many different types of devices and can increase the awareness of well-being on a workplace. Weaknesses were that it is difficult to interpret data and that personal integrity needs to be considered.
Results and expected effects
The demonstrator is mobile in its presentation which means that it in theory can be tested in industry today. More studies are however needed to measure individual well-being and to set threshold values.
Approach and implementation
The project has followed the suggested work packages. Four techniques were tested in 13 lab-experiments and 5 user studies. The evaluation of the devices had the following criteria: relevance of data, industrial application, real-time use and general usability and resulted in picking on of the devices. The device collected several types of data, was easy to use and was considered reliable. The demonstrator was presented and evaluated at a workshop the 20th of January.
