Using physiological measures to support positive wellbeing-focused marketing
Andrea List, Porter Novelli and Rachel Horn, HCD Research
12:30 - 1:00 PM
Diving into how a product experience integrates into the consumer lifestyle requires researchers to explore both the emotional and perceptual measures of the consumer experience. This presentation will review two recent research studies conducted by Porter Novelli and HCD Research in partnership with Panasonic and Jiffy Lube. These studies investigate the impact of the product experience on consumer wellbeing. By gaining a comprehensive look into consumer experience through the use of self-reported and psychophysiological measures, insights gleaned from this research expose the power of the product experience and the value of proactive, wellness-based marketing.
How web3 surveys can help with machine learning models in consumer sensory science
Tian Yu, Aigora

Machine learning is becoming increasingly important in understanding sensory and consumer data. Consumer data plays a crucial role in model reliability and robustness. Using Web3 technology, consumers can safely store their demographic and taste preference data in blockchain-backed digital wallets. These consumer-owned data can be used to build quality models that predict the consumer liking for new products or recommend personalized products to a specific consumer.
