A 2021 report from World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) introduced new emerging Assistive Technologies (ATs): self-care technologies (eg health and emotion monitoring) and brain-computer interfaces for enhanced communication and mobility [1]. At the centre of the aforementioned ATs is artificial intelligence (AI)-powered physiological computing - a rapidly growing research area on enabling technologies that help us to listen to our bodily functions and psychophysiological needs and self-regulate [2-5]. The bodily functions are measured by physiological sensors, such as wearable heart rate monitor. AI plays a pivotal role in interpreting the physiological activities into the needs. Then, captured information is fed back into us to increase the awareness of our psychophysiological states and have greater control of our body and mind, promoting positivity gradually over time.
