Abstract
Our research aims to add a new dimension in human-computer interaction. This will be to endow computers with the capability to monitor continuously the physiology and comfort of the users and take appropriate actions when warranted. Computers will gradually assume the role of "guardian angels" and ensure the well-being of the people with whom they are in daily contact.
