The Routledge Companion to Health Humanities
February 12, 2020
Published Chapter: Sensory Design and Smart Textiles
The health humanities is a rapidly rising field, advancing an inclusive, democratizing, activist, applied, critical, and culturally diverse approach to delivering health and well-being through the arts and humanities. It has generated new kinds of interdisciplinary research, knowledge, and communities of practice globally. It has also acted to bring greater coherence and political force to contributions across a range of related disciplines and traditions. In this volume, Jenny Tillotson and a formidable list of authors explore the history, current state, and future of the health humanities, in particular how its vision of the arts and humanities:
-
Promotes creative public health.
-
Opens new routes to health and well-being.
-
Informs and drives better health care.
-
Interrogates relationships between ill health and social equality.
-
Develops humanist theory in relation to health and social care practice.
-
Foregrounds cultural difference as a resource for positive change in society.
-
Tests the humanity of an increasingly globalized health-care system.
-
Looks to overcome structural and process obstacles to cross-disciplinary ventures.
-
Champions co-construction, co-design, and mutuality in solving health and well-being challenges.
-
Showcases less familiar, prominent, or celebrated creative practices.
-
Includes multiple perspectives on the value and health benefits of the arts and humanities not limited to or dominated by medicine.

Analytical Methods - Royal Society of Chemistry

Paper pubished: Yuliya E. Silina, Jennifer R. Tillotson and Andreas Manz
Analytical Methods, 2017, DOI: 10.1039/C7AY01799E
Title: Storage and controlled release of fragrances maintaining a constant ratio of volatile compounds
Controlled fragrance release at the right time, in the right place, depending on the context remains a technological challenge in the areas of psychophysiology, biochemistry or entertainment industry. In this study, we demonstrate how bulk poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) templates may effectively uptake and keep volatile organic compounds of essential orange oil in the original form without significant shifting of the scent profile depending on the sampling approaches followed by the controllable and slow fragrance release maintaining constant ratio of volatile compounds in a template-thickness, temperature- and time- dependent manner. Thus, the increase of temperature up to 80 °C enhances intensity of the fragrance release almost in 13 times without a significant shift in the chemical profile at least within 6 consecutive “ON/OFF” cycles. We believe that the concept demonstrated here towards fragrance storage via bulk PDMS templates as a model case may have an impact on the use of scent in the future.
