About the authors

Jasmin Niess is a PhD candidate at LMU Munich, Germany. She explores how interactive systems can potentially enhance the users’ wellbeing. To that end, she applies a variety of methods to gain a deeper understanding of users of personal informatics systems. Furthermore, she investigates the implementation of psychological knowledge within personal informatics systems.

Sarah Diefenbach is professor for market and consumer psychology at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich. Her research focuses on the design and evaluation of interactive technology with a special attention to emotional experience and psychological needs.
