Abstract: COVID-19 accelerated digital healthcare technology usage in many countries, such as Colombia, whose digital healthcare vision and projects are proof of this. However, with a significant cultural indigenous and Afro-Colombian heritage, only some parts of the country are willing to follow the proposed digital Western approach to health. Our paper presents the national healthcare system’s digital narrative, which we contrast with the micro-narrative of an Afro-Colombian ethnomedicine unit in Bogota called Kilombo Yumma. This ethnomedical unit is building its mobile app to safeguard and represent its ancestral medicine practices in local and national healthcare information systems. Kilombo Yumma is keen on promoting their beliefs and practices, which have been passed on through oral traditions and currently exist in the hands of a few elderly. We unraveled their ambition, core beliefs, and practices through asset-based design. These assets outlined pluriversal and decolonizing forms of digital healthcare to increase social justice and connect Western and ancestral medicine digital opportunities through HCI.

Abstract: The cognition of a good campus environment refers to the physical environment formed by planning and design, considering the function, reasonable layout and atmosphere of the space, and putting forward an implementation plan that can meet or exceed the teaching, learning and life needs of teachers and students, so that the campus has perfect overall characteristics. This paper takes university lecture halls as the research object, studies the spatial sound requirements and tests the acoustic quality control of these spaces, and attempts to explore the feasibility of using volcanic rocks as wall decoration materials. According to the characteristics and principles of sound transmission, combined with the present situation of the lecture hall and its original acoustic environment, a series of acoustic field experiments are implemented. By means of computer software simulation, the advantages of volcanic rock as wall decoration material in sound absorption effect and quality control are proved, and also its effect is better than other materials. Obviously, the computer simulation software is an applicable way in assisting the selection of interior wall decorative materials. Therefore, this study confirms the sound quality characteristics of volcanic rock materials and provides a feasible reference for those spaces requiring acoustic quality control in the future.
Abstract: This study explores the modernization of tea packaging, departing from traditional landscape-themed illustrations to resonate with younger consumers. With a focus on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road theme and Ya’an Tibetan tea, various methodologies are employed: Literature Review: Illustration styles are analyzed across historical periods to inform modern design choices. Case Analysis: Existing tea packaging designs, particularly those targeting young consumers, and integrating elements of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, are examined. Field Research: The historical and cultural significance of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road are investigated. Design Implementation: Computer software blended hand-drawn images with modern images. By infusing the essence of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road into Ya’an Tibetan tea packaging through modern illustrations, this study aims to create a visually appealing product that bridges tradition with contemporary aesthetics. This approach revitalizes traditional themes, enhancing product distinctiveness and market competitiveness.
