The eWorkResearch group at UCL Interaction Centre (UCLIC) is an interdisciplinary team of experts led by Professor Anna L Cox researching the use of digital technology to support productivity, work-life balance and recovery. Guided by Feminist HCI and Value Sensitive Design we promote the co-creation and design of digital technologies and services that support a fairer, more inclusive and equitable society. We work with a broad range of stakeholders including knowledge workers, health workers and gig workers.
Our current projects focus on developing theories and frameworks to inform the design of AI-enabled technologies in the following areas:
- Productivity: Exploring technologies that enhance work productivity and support people in getting work done efficiently.
- Work-Life Balance: Understanding the role of digital technologies in creating, shaping and challenging work-life balance.
- Recovery: focusing on break-taking, post-work recovery, and stress management.
