Third COVID-19 project, Microsoft pandemic preparedness award for “Design and Evaluation of Intelligent Agent Prototypes for Assistance with COVID-19 work and lifestyle disruptions.”

This project aims to develop an intelligent agent for a wide range of workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, to manage both their work- and life-related activities. We will leverage intelligent agents, ubiquitous and affective computing, and machine learning that analyze users’ behavior and emotion, to maintain or even improve their productivity and wellbeing in comparison with work and life outside of the pandemic.
