ABSTRACT

As the popularity of smart devices has increased rapidly in recent years, negative aspects of their use have emerged such as productivity loss, social conflicts and sleep deprivations. Our research group aims to make a breakthrough for dealing with such negative aspects, by leveraging computational techniques such as big data analytics and contextual computing to understand problematic digital technology use, and to develop intelligent intervention services. This approach is very different from the traditional clinical methodologies that are based largely on subjective user reports/observations and interpersonal counseling. This talk reviews our major research outcomes in this direction: 1) the development of automatic classification systems of problematic digital usage by analyzing user interaction data; and 2) the development and validation of software-based intervention services, namely NUGU, FamiLync, Lock n’ LoL, Let’s FOCUS, and PomodoLock. In addition, our ongoing work about deploying mobile and situated MOOI (massive open online intervention) for digital parenting will be discussed.
