Abstract

Affective computing systems blend technical and social elements and present challenges for designing notifications. As the number of applications expand that utilize notifications, we need to consider that competing for attention is a concern. With respect to promoting positive health behaviors, notifications need to be adapted to times when a user is vulnerable and receptive for a health intervention but also to users' attentional states. In this paper we outline affective computing projects and in the workshop will discuss challenges of designing interventions to promote positive behaviors in real world environments.
