The research led by Mónica Tentori focuses on the design of inclusive technologies that improve quality of life and promote equity in the areas of health, education, and sports. Her projects often address the needs of neurodiverse and underserved populations, emphasizing early detection, personalized intervention, and skill development.
The work is grounded in two major research tiers:
- Natural and Intelligent User Interfaces (NIUI): Designing interactive systems that are intuitive, accessible, and responsive to users’ embodied, cognitive, and emotional states.
- Sensors and Machine Learning: Leveraging multimodal sensing and data-driven models to uncover patterns in human behavior, support adaptive feedback, and enable context-aware decision-making.
Projects employ experimental design methods from HCI and utilize tools for prototyping in ubiquitous computing and artificial intelligence, ensuring both scientific rigor and real-world applicability.
