Reflection by Interaction

Conversation with Marit Bentvelzen

Join us for an hour of conversation about Data-Centric Design with Marit Bentvelzen. To kickstart this new season of conversations, we’ll dive into ‘Reflection by Interaction’ or how technology can support users in reflecting on personal data.

A few words about Marit - Driven by an interest in the intersection of technology and human experience, she is currently pursuing a PhD in Human Computer Interaction at Utrecht University. With a focus on personal informatics systems, her research explores how technology can foster reflection on personal data. Her current fascination lies in understanding the impact that the design of metrics has on users’ perception of themselves and their overall health and well-being. By examining how metrics shape individuals’ self-perception, she aims to develop insights that can guide the creation of more meaningful and user-centered personal informatics interfaces.
