The Digital Life centre is a research lab at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA). Our goal is to understand and create digital solutions for public wellbeing in urban context. We focus on innovative and creative ubiquitous (sensing) technologies, digital information in everyday life and understanding its bigger (data) picture. We conduct research in the real world, in close collaboration with the professional field and industry, together with and for users, in which we see Amsterdam and environment as our Living Lab.
