PhD-project A.M. Olthof - Caring for Human Enhancement: towards a design methodology for human-system integration at the intersection of human-computer interaction, system intelligence and ethics of care.

Description

Anne Marleen is PhD-researcher Caring for Human Enhancement at the University of Amsterdam & University of Antwerp (joint PhD). In her PhD-project, Anne Marleen explores how digital-physical products can enhance the human body to improve the quality of life for people with progressive or permanent disabilities. This project takes place at the intersection of care ethics, human computer interaction and system intelligence, and explores how intimate relationships with technology work and how these can be designed when products become embodied and highly responsive to body-based and contextual-based signals (e.g. robotic arms, exoskeletons, electronic muscle stimulation).
