Body As Starting Point 4: Inbodied Interaction Design for Health Ownership.

Abstract

This Fourth Body as a Starting Point workshop investigates how to design interactive health technologies that assist users in developing insourcing abilities and then assist users in letting go of the same technology - in other words, supporting a transition from health technology dependence to independence. By making explicit two inbodied design continua of (1) ownership, from "outsourcing"to "insourcing"and (2) engagement period, from "single", to"cycle", to "permanent", to prototype and reflect on interactive technology that takes the body as a starting point.
