Participatory mobile biosensing. A methodology for designing consumption spaces.
| Resumo: | Biotechnologies will have a profound impact on everyday life during the twentieth-first century. Among these, biosensing technologies show a great promise to improve the way people monitor their bodily states, which is auspicious for the future of health and well-being services, but also for city planning and management. Smart city initiatives have been understood as the future of urban design and management, and city sensors have been instrumental in the making of smart infrastructure. Within this process, the use of citizens-as-sensors, through the capture of smartphone-generated data, has paved the way for the use of biosensor data in smart city initiatives. In combination with global positioning systems (GPS), mobile biosensors can provide a wide range of biological information that can be related to the features of the urban environment. However, the use of biosensing data for city design and management raises a wide range of concerns, namely issues related to privacy, data analysis, and the political implications of the use of this data. UrBio tackles this challenge by exploring the use of biosensors in urban planning and design, taking into account the contextual social and cultural phenomena that mediate the reception of new biosensing technologies and taking the opportunity to experiment new participatory approaches with data-empowered citizens. |
