The quantified-Self and wearable technologies in the workplace: implications and challenges for their implementations

Introduction of technologies in the workplace have led to a dramatic change. These changes have come with an increased capacity to gather data about one���s working performance (i.e. productivity), as well as the capacity to track one���s personal responses (i.e. emotional, physiological, etc.) to this changing workplace environment. This movement of self-monitoring or self-sensing using diverse types of wearable sensors combined with the use of computing has been identified as the Quantified-Self. Miniaturization of sensors, reduction in cost and a non-stop increase in the computer power capacity has led to a panacea of wearables and sensors to track and analyze all types of information. Utilized in the personal sphere to track information, a looming question remains, should employers use the information from the Quantified-Self to track their employees��� performance or well-being in the workplace and will this benefit employees? The aim of the present work is to layout the implications and challenges associated with the use of Quantified-Self information in the workplace. The Quantified-Self movement has enabled people to understand their personal life better by tracking multiple information and signals; such an approach could allow companies to gather knowledge on what drives productivity for their business and/or well-being of their employees. A discussion about the implications of this approach will cover 1) Monitoring health and well-being, 2) Oversight and safety, and 3) Mentoring and training. Challenges will address the question of 1) Privacy and Acceptability, 2) Scalability and 3) Creativity. Even though many questions remain regarding their use in the workplace, wearable technologies and Quantified-Self data in the workplace represent an exciting opportunity for the industry and health and safety practitioners who will be using them.

Conflu��ncias e diverg��ncias conceituais em educa����o em sa��de

A educa����o em sa��de conheceu, no ��ltimo s��culo, profundas mudan��as, tanto no plano conceitual como no das pr��ticas dele decorrentes, fruto das transforma����es por que passou a humanidade em termos pol��ticos, econ��micos e sociais. O conceito de educa����o desviou-se da perspectiva instruidora e escolarizadora de crian��as e jovens, centrada na transmiss��o-assimila����o de conhecimentos, para uma perspectiva mais abrangente e integradora, centrada na cria����o de condi����es que permitem aos indiv��duos desenvolverem-se holisticamente na sua multidimensionalidade, em permanente intera����o com os outros. Por sua vez, o conceito de sa��de perdeu o seu pendor negativo de aus��ncia de doen��a, passando a ser entendido positivamente como um estado de completo bem-estar f��sico, mental, social e espiritual, em constante muta����o ao longo da vida. Nesse sentido, a educa����o em sa��de deixou tamb��m de ser vista como a transmiss��o de informa����o de car��ter higienisto-sanit��rio, orientada para a preven����o ou o tratamento da doen��a, efetuada em contextos formais, para passar a ser entendida como a capacita����o dos indiv��duos para controlarem os seus pr��prios determinantes de sa��de, atrav��s da cria����o ou do desenvolvimento de compet��ncias de a����o. A educa����o e a sa��de passam, pois, a apresentar-se como duas faces de um mesmo processo. Neste trabalho pretendemos, pois, analisar a evolu����o conceptual em torno da sa��de e da educa����o no s��c. XX, tentando perceber at�� que ponto essas mudan��as conceptuais se t��m refletido ao n��vel das pr��ticas.

Estrat��gia para a incorpora����o de impactes ambientais, sociais e econ��micos espec��ficos num m��todo de Avalia����o da Sustentabilidade de Edif��cios de Sa��de (HBSA)

The healthcare project design requires a several number of concerns with the satisfaction and well���being of the working team, patient and administrators, has a strong social responsibility and impact on the city. Due to various design requirements, these buildings are not designed and used in a sustainable way, because there are still no effective methods to support designers in this context. Consequently, they do not know what the best criteria to be followed and their managers are not aware of the measuresthatshould be adopted for efficient use. Furthermore, the aim of this study is to present a proposal for a Healthcare Building Sustainability Assessment (HBSA) method adapted for the Portuguese context and considering the work developed so far in the standardization bodies (CEN and ISO). For this, the chosen methodology is analysed and compared the most relevant building sustainability assessment tools in the context of healthcare buildings.����
