challenges in ubicomp systems for nursing and caregiving domains. We firstly
overview the ubicomp challenges from scientific to practical, along with the
social situations of the most ‘advanced’ aging country in the world. One of the
characteristics is that the services are mainly provided not based on self- or
automated wellbeing, but based on human-based ‘care’ activities, where the
wellbeing of both caretakers and caregivers is important. As one of the
approaches utilizing the characteristics, we introduce our research on
integrating human activity recognition and nursing care records on smartphones
[IMWUT2019], followed by the deployment challenge to care facilities by the
start-up company AUTOCARE LLC. Also, we introduce our research on maximizing
the quality of the dataset by applying active learning and gamification
concepts [IMWUT2021], utilizing additional sensors only in training phases
[ISWC2021], and automating the records by dialogue systems [APAMI2020]. The
developed smartphone app FonLog is highly flexible and usable, so we can
utilize the system for many kinds of wellbeing research. We will introduce some
examples such as predicting the status of Parkinson’s diseases
[AppliedSciences2021], or the dataset for predicting office workers’ work
engagement from daily activities [ABC2021].</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"\00ff2d\00ff33  \00ff30\0030b4\0030b7\0030c3\0030af",sans-serif"></span></p>

technology has deeply spread into our daily lives, including office work, home
and house-keeping, health management, transportation, or even urban living
environments. Furthermore, beyond the initial metric of computing, such as
“efficiency” and “productivity”, the benefits that people (users) benefit on a
well-being perspective based on such ubiquitous technology has been greatly
paid attention in recent years. In our first “WellComp” (Computing for
Well-being) workshop, we intensively discuss the contribution of
ubiquitous computing towards users’ well-being that covers both physical,
mental, and social wellness (and their combinations), from the viewpoints of
various different layers of computing. WellComp 2021 will bring together
researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to explore
versatile topics related to wellbeing and ubiquitous computing.</span></p>
