How might human experience inform AI systems

The problem we want to address<br/>AI(Artificial intelligence) is diving into people’s lives as its algorithm continues to iterate. However, the algorithmic and quantitative systems do not seem to access people’s experiences, which always include emotional and qualitative factors. How can an AI system understand people’s feelings? How can an AI...

Iterative training with human rated images to improve GAN generated image aesthetics: Effects of dataset size and training length

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) brought rapid developments in generating synthetic images by mimicking structures in the training data. With the list of application of GANs growing drastically, it has lately become an exciting technology to explore for designers to communicate their ideas and arts through technology and create engaging...

Focus on underserved patients: Improving the collection of PROMs within the HIV outpatient clinic of the Amsterdam UMC

Background:<br/>The HIV outpatient clinic of Amsterdam University Medical Centers (AUMC)is implementing digital patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMS) in routine care to improve the quality of life (QoL) for people living with HIV (PWH). We were asked to design tools to promote the participation of patient groups from Ghana and Nigeria.<br/>...

Virtual Reality Tool for Human-Machine Interface Evaluation and Development (VRHEAD)

Higher levels of vehicle automation come with new challenges for designing safe systems. The Human Machine-Interface (HMI) plays a key role in mediating the interaction between the human driver and vehicle automation. By providing the driver with appropriate feedback, the HMI has the potential to increase mode awareness and situational...

Mitigating company adoption barriers of design-driven innovation with human centered design

In Design-Driven Innovation (D-DI) the meaning of a product or service is radically innovated to introduce a new paradigm that ideally can benefit people, companies, and society as a whole. However, due to the associated risks, most companies are hesitant to engage with and adopt D-DI. Human Centered Design (HCD) is preferred while innovation...

Steerable Neuroendoscopic Biopsy Forceps: Expanding the reach

Objective: To develop a steerable neuroendoscopic instrument (SNI) based on user requirements found by several means of user research, and to evaluate this instrument on usability and safety. Only 5% of the potential intraventricular neuroendoscopy (INE) cases are currently treated with endoscopy. For the other 95%, an endoscopic approach is...

Improving Search Relevance Feedback through Human Centered Design

<br/>Artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to play a transformational role in health and wellbeing. Search (i.e. information retrieval) technologies already play a significant role in healthcare research and practice. Relevance feedback in Search is vital for system evaluation and improvements. However, in small user scale contexts, the...
