Abstract

The alarm clock designs are based on a typology of 13 fundamental needs developed by Desmet and Fokkinga (2020), as outlined in their work Beyond Maslow’s pyramid: Introducing a typology of thirteen fundamental needs for human-centered design (Multimodal technologies and interaction, 4(3), 38).
