Sound-driven design is a practice informed by technology and listening in the multisensory dimension of interaction. An automated content analysis 20 semi-structured interviews with sound designers, researchers, engineers expert users stressed inherently embodied situated conceptualisation sound, how it relates to their professional activity. The four categories professionals bring different designerly orientations towards sound. Listening, as way knowing using interaction, proves be red...

The reserved set of audible alarm signals embodied within the global medical device safety standard, IEC 60601-1-8, is known to be problematic and in need updating. current are not only suboptimal, but there also little evidence beyond learnability (which poor) that demonstrates their performance realistic representative clinical environments. In this article, we describe process first designing then testing potential replacement for starting with design several sets candidate sounds initial...

We explored the underpinnings of providing positive listener experiences for intensive care unit (ICU) patients with compositions added sounds. Our objective was to derive an approach such interventions based on soundscape perception and need fulfillment. In one study, we gathered qualitative empirical data about imagined soundscapes where nine fundamental needs were fulfilled. Hierarchical clustering thematic analysis showed that clustered into four types sonic ambiances, i.e., affective...

A potent way of designing for emotion is to design concerns. However, people have multiple, and often, conflicting Such conflicts create emotional dilemmas: One may need spend a Sunday afternoon working meet deadline, at the same time, wish attend birthday party. In this paper, we consider concerns as opportunity: Any can be starting point products or services that appeal users. propose tension created by conflict more inspiring than involved in isolation. present an analysis 109 existing...

This article addresses the need of including acoustical perspectives in debate on alarm fatigue within healthcare domain. We show how conceptualisations and proposed solutions to are unequally distributed across what could be called ‘alarm chain’: a generic model core structural elements dynamic relations that constitute any scenario. A focal point chain – mediation cleft’ seems divide literature from segment deals with auditory design. The current discourse is centred around ‘premediated...

According to recent studies, the number of auditory alarms and other sound disturbances has a significant negative impact on both health patients performance medical staff in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).This paper presents SOUNDscapes, digital platform concept where events occurring within NICU are localized visually mapped.The displays soundscape real time assesses quality environment by two main visualizations, i.e., level trends constellation map.The goal providing real-time...

This paper suggests that designers can frame user behaviour in terms of the conflicts between long-term goals and immediate desires (i.e. self-control dilemmas), address these by facilitating pursuit goals. A phenomenological study provided an understanding dilemmas strategies people use to deal with dilemmas. Based on this understanding, proposes a framework for analysing three supporting design strategies. The act as analysis tool when distinguishing desires, facilitate generation ideas...

As socio-technological environments shape and direct listener behaviour, an ecological account is needed that encompasses listening in complexity (i.e., multiple listeners, sounds their sources, sound-induced actions ensure the success of a mission). In this study, we explored action under framework “acoustic biotopes” (a notion acoustics by Smolders, Aertsen, Johanessma, 1979 1982) specific environment, i.e., context orthopaedic operating room. Our approach based on literature research into...

Sound-driven design is an emerging, human-centered practice informed by technology and listening in the multisensory dimension of interaction. In this paper we present a discourse analysis approach aimed at qualitatively understanding constituent concepts such practice, means semi-structured interviews with sound designers, researchers, engineers expert users context critical care. Preliminary results show that sound-driven inherently embodied, situated, participatory, four categories...

In this paper, the sleep phenomenon is considered in relation to critical care soundscapes with intention inform hospital management, medical device producers and policy makers regarding complexity of issue possible modes design interventions. We propose a comprehensive strategy based on soundscape approach that facilitates systematic way tackling auditory quality settings favor better patient experience. Future research directions are presented tackle knowledge deficits designing for cater...

Good sleep is conducive to the recovery process of hospital patients – and yet, in many wards, duration quality can often be suboptimal, part due modifiable hospital-related sounds noises. At neurological ward Reinier de Graaf Delft, Netherlands, we developed evaluated a prototype information exchange system raise awareness specific as disturbing patients' sleep. The both classifies different relevant sound events tracks (using Fitbit device). This then visualized for staff present influence...
