About
Tomasz Jaworski is a researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, persuasive technology, and workplace well-being. His most cited work, "APEOW: A Personal Persuasive Avatar for Encouraging Breaks in Office Work" (2016, 7 citations), introduces an innovative system that leverages a personalized robot avatar to nudge office workers toward healthier break-taking habits. This contribution addresses a critical public health issue—prolonged sedentary behavior linked to musculoskeletal disorders and cardiovascular risk—by designing a socially engaging, non-intrusive intervention. Jaworski’s approach combines principles of persuasive design with embodied interaction, demonstrating how avatars can serve as effective, empathetic motivators in real-world settings. While his citation count reflects a focused, emerging impact, his work stands out for its practical relevance and human-centered design. By targeting a ubiquitous yet overlooked problem, Jaworski contributes to a growing body of research on digital health interventions and ambient intelligence. His research offers valuable insights for students and practitioners interested in using technology to foster healthier habits, making him a notable voice in the field of persuasive computing and workplace ergonomics.
