2021

La fouille réalisée en 2016 par le service archéologique de Reims Métropole sur le site de Chouilly « La Grifaine » a été l’occasion de compléter nos connaissances sur les hypogées de la Marne.

Mobile diary for wellness management--results on usage and usability in two user studies.

2008

The prevalence of lifestyle-related health problems is increasing rapidly. Many of the diseases and health risks could be prevented or alleviated by making changes toward healthier lifestyles. We have developed the Wellness Diary (WD), a concept for personal and mobile wellness management based on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Two implementations of the concept were made for the Symbian Series 60 (S60) mobile phone platform, and their usability, usage, and acceptance were studied in two 3-month user studies. Study I was related to weight management and study II to general wellness management. In both the studies, the concept and its implementations were well accepted and considered as…
