From Monitoring to Assisting: A Systematic Review towards Healthier Workplaces, —Lopes 2022

This is an audio summary of the article "From Monitoring to Assisting: A Systematic Review towards Healthier Workplaces" by Lopes in 2022. Long-term stress is associated with a decline in global health, affecting social, intellectual, and economic development. Affective computing is used mainly for monitoring purposes, and is usually combined with tangible interfaces that collect workers' physiological changes. Designing systems that capitalize on embodied interaction principles is paramount, especially in the post-pandemic context, as the concepts of physical and mental safety take on new meanings that must be consciously and carefully addressed. This paper highlights the main design implications for the effective implementation of interfaces to help mitigate stress in the workplace.
