Abstract Details

2020, MDES, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Design.
This thesis proposes a digital-physical hybrid concept to improve sleep in a future context. A considerable body of evidence suggests that insufficient sleep is implicated in a host of adverse physical and mental dysfunctions. Although sleep-related interventions are being widely developed, the role that design plays in this area is minimal regarding usability. They lack actions in guiding users to understand their sleep and develop a preferred sleep experience. This study uses to help conduct qualitative research to understand how people balance the relationship between digital devices and sleep habits. First, this thesis begins with future foresight methods to understand a future context of sleep. Second, the author designs a sleep habit development application to demonstrate the sleep habit development workflow, and an environmental intervention concept to support the habit formation. Finally, qualitative research, including interviews and coding methods, is conducted to understand how people embody and interact with home environments in the future context. This study highlights a list of design principles for the development of sleep habits and building an environment to support sleep habits formation when using future study and design methods.
