Co-designing mind-body technologies for sleep with adolescents.

Sleep is critical for well-being, yet adolescents do not get enough sleep. Mind-body approaches can help. Despite the potential of technology to support mind-body approaches for sleep, there is a lack of research on adolescent preferences for digital mind-body technology.

Perceptions of and Experiences with Consumer Sleep Technologies That Use Artificial Intelligence.

This study aims to assess the perspectives and usability of different consumer sleep technologies (CSTs) that leverage artificial intelligence (AI). We answer the following research questions: (1) what are user perceptions and ideations of CSTs (phase 1), (2) what are the users' actual experiences with CSTs (phase 2), (3) and what are the design recommendations from participants (phases 1 and 2)? In this two-phase qualitative study, we conducted focus groups and usability testing to describe user ideations of desires and experiences with different AI sleep technologies and identify ways to improve the technologies. Results showed that focus group participants prioritized comfort, actionable feedback, and ease of use.
