About

Technologies are moving closer to the human body. The emergence of portable, wearable, implantable and ingestible devices provides more opportunities to better support our body, bringing us to the era of “body-centric computing”. Such a concept has huge potential in digital health and wellbeing, as body-centric devices can include always-available sensors to support pervasive health monitoring; embed algorithms to support smart interpretations of bodily data; and incorporate actuators to augment one’s bodily experiences.

Our goal in this Frontiers Research Topic is to develop examples of designing and developing body-centric technologies to better support one’s health and wellbeing, from a both instrumental and experiential perspective. We also hope to develop new approaches of body-centric computing and expand the boundaries of the field by exploring the topic from a multiple disciplinary perspective.

We welcome researchers to contribute their original papers, as well as a variety of article types, including extended versions of conference papers that contain at least 30% significant new content, , as per our Guidelines/a>

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

- Biosensors for health tracking
- Wearable/implantable/ingestible sensing for health and wellbeing
- Mobile health monitoring
- AI for health and wellbeing
- Body-centric interactions for health and wellbeing
- Body-centric games/play;
- Health behavior intervention;
- VR/AR applications for health and wellbeing;
- User studies for digital health;
- Methods for body-centric computing;
- Ethics of body-centric technologies in the context of digital health.
