The Sprong Urban Vitality-programme aims to strengthen research & education around Urban Vitality at the AUAS. The Lectorate of Civic Interaction Design and the Master Digital Design contributed with two projects run by teams of MDD-students. CogWheels is an exploratory project looking at the combination of embodied interactions, physical therapy for patients undergoing radiation treatment for cancer, and cognitive stimulation. OnTrack is an exploratory project examining the use of a personalized diary app to keep track of cancer patients’ physical fitness state.
