How People Adapt To Environments
Climate Adaptation Wellness
Exploring how environmental information, wearable signals and personal experience could support personalised climate-adaptation wellness guidance.
A New Climate A New Life
Moving to a new country brings changes in climate, daylight and daily routines. Everyone experiences these changes differently. We want to understand how people adjust and what could help them feel more comfortable in their new environment.
Research Focus
We are developing a research framework to understand what helps international employees and students settle successfully after moving country.
We also want to investigate whether environmental information, existing wearable signals and personal feedback could help us understand individual adjustment and develop more personalised support.
NEXT
Our Vision
Our longer-term ambition is to develop a personalised Climate Adaptation Wellness platform.
If supported by research, information from existing wearable devices, environmental conditions and personal feedback could be combined to offer practical, individual guidance.
Our aim is to make existing technology more useful, rather than create another wearable device..
OPEN
Work With Us
We are seeking collaboration with academic researchers in international employee adjustment, environmental science, wearable technology and wellbeing.
Our aim is to develop meaningful research questions, explore opportunities for pilot studies and investigate practical ways to support international employees and students.
Who We Help
We are exploring practical support for international employees and students adapting to a new climate.
Our proposed first steps include short Climate Adaptation Wellness workshops and Sharmina 90, a 90-day support concept.
We hope to develop and test these ideas with employers, universities and research partners.
Our Research
We want to investigate how changes in climate, wearable signals and personal feedback relate to people's adjustment after relocating.
Explore Collaboration
We are exploring workshops and Sharmina 90 with universities and employers, aiming to design and test practical support for international students and employees.
Explore With Us
We welcome conversations with researchers, universities and employers interested in understanding how people adjust to new environments. Together, we hope to explore research opportunities, develop practical support programmes and investigate the potential of personalised Climate Adaptation Wellness.
