The wellbeing of students and staff directly affects their output and efficiency. This study presents the results of two focus groups conducted in 2022 within a two-phase project led by the Applied Biomedical and Signal Processing Intelligent e-Health Lab (ABSPIE), School of Engineering of the University of Warwick (UoW) and British Telecom within “The Connected Campus: University of Warwick case study” program. The first phase, by involving staff and students of the University of Warwick, aimed at collecting preliminary information for the subsequent second phase, about the feasibility of the use of Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things (IoT) for wellbeing support on Campus. The main findings of this first phase are interesting technological suggestions from real users and they helped in the design of the scenarios and in the selection of which key enabling technologies are considered as the most relevant, useful and acceptable to support and improve wellbeing on Campus. These results will inform future services to design and implement technologies for monitoring and supporting wellbeing, such as hybrid, minimal and even intrusive (implantable) solutions. The user-driven co-design of such services, leveraging the use of wearable devices, Artificial Intelligence deployment will increase their acceptability by the users.
