Converging Psychology with Technology
In today\u2019s episode we dive deeper into the topic of psychology and technology. I\u2019m really excited to bring this interview with a fellow researcher whom I have had the pleasure to collaborate with. We looked into the future of work and how to incorporate machine vision with the working from home set up to measure psychological impact of the home work environment. But a beacon of insight was always present on the psychological impact of such technology on workers. What do people intuitively want from technology. To find out more on this I sat down to discuss the future of technology that pays attention to human psychology with Dr.Denise Wilkins. Denise is a social scientist working in the Future of Work group at Microsoft Research Cambridge. Her research takes a mixed-methods, human-centred approach. Day-to-day, she works alongside machine learning researchers, software engineers, designers and other social scientists. More broadly, Denise\u2019s research examines how technology can help groups collaborate for positive change.
