Theme of the workshop:
A whole new vocabulary has sprung up to discuss the ways that technology design can improve health: Persuasive technology, nudging, assistive technology, choice architecture, and self-management are just a few key concepts. Many health researchers have the ambition of using technologies such as e-coaching, wearable devices, smart buildings, and architecture to influence peoples’ choices and behavior and thereby improve their health. In this workshop we take a philosophical look at these developments, situating them in relation to important values such as autonomy, agency, self-management, and quality of life, as well as concepts of health and illness.
Registration for the workshop is required but free of cost! Space is limited, so please let us know if you want us to reserve you a seat, by sending an email to p.j.nickel@tue.nl<mailto:p.j.nickel@tue.nl>.
