Wearable and ambient sensing for well-being and emotional awareness in the smart workplace

Wearable, sensor-equipped devices -- often referred to as wearables -- became increasingly public accessible during the last years. Health and fitness wearables offer ubiquitous and continuous sensing of various aspects of our lives and help us reflect and learn about ourselves. The rising social acceptance of body-worn technology is also a driver for the increasing adoption of wearables on the consumer level - and especially the fitness and healthcare sector is booming [1]. Consumer surveys discovered that users expect wearables to help them live longer and happier lives [6].
