Guide Development for eHealth Interventions Targeting People With a Low Socioeconomic Position: Participatory Design Approach

BACKGROUND: People with a low socioeconomic position (SEP) are less likely to benefit from eHealth interventions, exacerbating social health inequalities. Professionals developing eHealth interventions for this group face numerous challenges. A comprehensive guide to support these professionals in their work could mitigate these inequalities....

Impact-centered design: Introducing an integrated framework of the psychological and behavioral effects of design

This paper introduces a framework for impact-centered design that maps the direct and indirect psychological, social, and behavioral effects resulting from human-product interactions, as well as the strategic pathways that designers utilize to achieve these effects. The framework was created through a series of expert workshops in which 186...

Activities as a Gateway to Sustained Subjective Well-Being Mediated by Products

Research in positive psychology indicates that sustained well-being is more determined by our actions than by our possessions. Products' contribution to well-being may thus be grounded in their potential to support well-being-enhancing activities rather than in their material value. In a laddering study, we investigated how products shape a...

An Accelerator for Posit Arithmetic Targeting Posit Level 1 BLAS Routines and Pair-HMM

The newly proposed posit number format uses a significantly different approach to represent floating point numbers. This paper introduces a framework for posit arithmetic in reconfigurable logic that maintains full precision in intermediate results. We present the design and implementation of a L1 BLAS arithmetic accelerator on posit vectors...

Potential of cost-efficient single frequency GNSS receivers for water vapor monitoring

Dual-frequency Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) enable the estimation of Zenith Tropospheric Delay (ZTD) which can be converted to PrecipitableWater Vapor (PWV). The density of existing GNSS monitoring networks is insufficient to capture small-scale water vapor variations that are especially important for extreme weather...

A matrix-multiply unit for posits in reconfigurable logic leveraging (Open)CAPI

In this paper, we present the design in reconfigurable logic of a matrix multiplier for matrices of 32-bit posit numbers with es=2 [1]. Vector dot products are computed without intermediate rounding as suggested by the proposed posit standard to maximally retain precision. An initial implementation targets the CAPI 1.0 interface on the POWER8...
