Abstract:
Hygge is Danish and Norwegian for well-being related to conviviality. Health and social relations are tightly bound, so how can we integrate today’s technologies to provide hygge? Two healthcare scenarios show ways to achieve hygge by integrating software and distributed technologies, using elements of the U’Ductor model. This model ubiquitously supports noncommunicable-disease care, providing a way for applications to communicate, automatically receive health status updates, and search for nearby resources and people. The ChronicDuctor and ChronicPrediction apps use U’Ductor to improve patient care.
