How can we make staying active more engaging? 🤔 Our research on Active Audio Adventures (presented at MuC 2025) shows that blending storytelling, gamification & real-time cues (like haptics) boosts motivation, lowers cognitive load & supports sustainable activity 🏃♂

Global warming reaches +1.5 °C this year and +2°C around 2037
Using a 15-year linear or 30-year nonlinear extrapolation.
As global warming has accelerated, using a 30-year linear extrapolation is not the right approach to assess the state of the climate.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

A bit longer than your typical keynote, but I hope decently up to speed and perhaps of interest for those interested in personalized health and prevention. There have certainly been more straightforward times for considering what will happen / be most relevant next though! #digitalhealth #ai
