However, the acceptance of such e-health interventions largely depends on employees\u2019 perceptions of their value versus the privacy and security risks associated with data usage. Hence, addressing these concerns is paramount for fostering trust and ensuring the successful integration of technology. For this reason, this work explores the critical role of privacy in the workplace and examines how concepts of data control and ownership can improve the acceptance and effectiveness of IoT solutions. Leveraging insights from an online questionnaire with 524 participants from European countries, the obtained \ufb01ndings contribute to the existing literature by expanding the understanding of data control in workplace contexts and providing valuable insights for designing IoT-mediated e-health interventions that effectively address employees\u2019 privacy concerns.}, language = {en}, urldate = {2024-08-29}, booktitle = {2024 {IEEE} 48th {Annual} {Computers}, {Software}, and {Applications} {Conference} ({COMPSAC})}, publisher = {IEEE}, author = {G\xf3mez-Carmona, Oihane and Casado-Mansilla, Diego and L\xf3pez-de-Ipi\xf1a, Diego and Garc\xeda-Zubia, Javier}, month = jul, year = {2024}, pages = {2020--2025}, } ']

Such an aproach will make their interactions with surrounding technology closer to them. Therefore, there is a recurrent need in contemporary technological solutions to create proposals to assist users in a way that is not exclusive to them and makes them feel integrated into the intelligent system. In fact, this is particularly relevant when the proposed technology or system aims to nudge users to form, shape, or change their daily behaviours. In essence, solutions designed for assisting users in that matter need to consider the inclusion of humans in the learning/decision loop and still the literature in the field is scarce. In this work, we identify and address three crucial human requirements that this technology has to integrate to promote a comfortable and long-term use of technology for the effective assistance of behaviour change: trust, engagement, and adaptation. Besides, we propose a collaborative workflow based on hybrid intelligent systems to cover the lack of human requirements and needs of traditional approaches. In essence, this work aims to shed light on how to promote closer collaboration between humans and intelligent agents for behaviour change under the principle that people should not be treated as mere users of technologies and services, but their behaviour should become one of the critical levers for designing and using technologies. That is, creating a closer interaction between these technologies and people.}, language = {en}, urldate = {2022-11-28}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the {International} {Conference} on {Ubiquitous} {Computing} \\& {Ambient} {Intelligence} ({UCAmI} 2022)}, publisher = {Springer International Publishing}, author = {Puerta-Beldarrain, Maite and G\xf3mez-Carmona, Oihane and Casado-Mansilla, Diego and L\xf3pez-de-Ipi\xf1a, Diego}, year = {2023}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-031-21333-5_38}, note = {Series Title: Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems}, pages = {381--392}, } ']

For this reason, this work proposes an interactive approach based on a cascade of Machine Learning models that makes optimized decisions related to classifying individual data and labelling it. For the evaluated use-case of a Human Activity Recognition system, the initial quantitative results of the proposed strategy show that an interactive cascade of simpler models can improve the non-interactive approach used as a benchmark and, at the same time, modulate the degree of participation of the user, measured as the number of times they would be inquired to provide a new label for newly obtained data.

In this regard, a proof-of-concept of an intelligent system for comfort measurement in educational environments is presented.

The results show that an initial optimization process (i.e. selecting the most important features of the raw sensor data) is preeminent to provide a substantial improvement on the classification process with a minimal loss of performance and saving valuable computational cost. Thus, the presented approach seeks to stress the importance of understanding the initial data and studying the most relevant characteristics of the signal to overcome the limitations of the IoT devices and succeed in bringing embedded Machine Learning to the edge.}, language = {en}, urldate = {2019-11-11}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 9th {International} {Conference} on the {Internet} of {Things} - {IoT} 2019}, publisher = {ACM Press}, author = {G\xf3mez-Carmona, Oihane and Casado-Mansilla, Diego and L\xf3pez-de-Ipi\xf1a, Diego and Garc\xeda-Zubia, Javier}, year = {2019}, keywords = {Edge Computing, Internet of Things, Smart Environments, machine learning}, pages = {1--8} }']

One of the recurring problems on different application scenarios is the lack of adherence of the target audience (i.e. disengagement, early drop-out or high attrition rates). In this context, the potential of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the emerging paradigm of the Internet of Things (IoT) can play a mediating role between the proposers (i.e. managers) and the target audience (i.e employees) to increase motivation and follow-up. The presented work reviews the main challenges of IoT-based interventions for workplace health promotion and presents a participatory worker-centric concept for enhancing individuals' well-being in office environments.

The research on this \ufb01eld falls within the scope of Smart Cities (SC) with the advantages that the common public spaces provide as new points for information exchange between the city, the urban furniture and their citizens. Kiosk systems have been recognized as an appropriate mean for providing event-aware and localized information to the right audience at the right time. Hence, in this article, we provide a vision of an eco-system of multifunctional urban furniture, where kiosks are part of them, designed not only for digital interaction but for sustainable use and symbolic integration into the urban environment as well. The proposed approach is conceived to drive services through digital urban nodes that facilitate tailored citizen-city communication and interaction. The central element of the designed platform consists on an intelligent digital kiosk which features a series of hardware and software components for sensing different environmental conditions, multimodal interaction with users and for conveying the captured data to the Cloud. The custom-based contents visualized to the users are controlled remotely through a management tool that allows to set-up and con\ufb01gure the digital kiosk. This system is not presented as an ad-hoc solution for one speci\ufb01c purpose but instead, it becomes a platform that can accommodate and solve the needs of every kind of user that populates urban shared-use spaces.}, language = {en}, number = {19}, urldate = {2019-04-09TZ}, journal = {Proceedings}, author = {G\xf3mez-Carmona, Oihane and Casado-Mansilla, Diego and L\xf3pez-de-Ipi\xf1a, Diego}, month = nov, year = {2018}, pages = {1212} }']

By means of a RFID reader, the interactive mirror recognises different users through their personal corporate ID card, which allows them to have access to their personalised user-interface. The smart mirror provides workplace\u2019s indoor environmental conditions (thermal, humidity and light), personal physical exercise data obtained from wearable devices and general purpose information (e.g. weather and daily news). Additionally, motivational advice related to physical performance is supplied through request by applying speech-based recognition techniques. End-users can also inquire the mirror about their ranking position in a fair-daily competition that gives social recognition to the most-active-user. The implemented mirror has been evaluated in a one-week study conducted in the wild in the workplace premises. The quantitative data gathered throughout the study, as well as the qualitative users\u2019 feedback obtained in a post-trial focus group, provided promising findings for the acceptance and convenience of such a persuasive device in the work environment. Furthermore, valuable design-insights were obtained for future iterations of the smart mirror that encourages workers towards healthier lifestyles.}, booktitle = {2nd {International} {Multidisciplinary} {Conference} on {Computer} and {Energy} {Science}}, author = {G\xf3mez-Carmona, Oihane and Casado-Mansilla, Diego}, month = jul, year = {2017}, keywords = {E-Health, Intelligent Environments, Internet of Things, Smart Everyday Objects, Wellness Promotion, smiwork-an-interactive-smart-mirror-platform-for-workplace-health-promotion} }']
