Orange computing: Challenges and opportunities for awareness science and technology

Abstract

This paper presents a newly emerging technology called orange computing for humanistic care applications. Orange computing refers to health, happiness, and physiopsychological care computing, which focuses on designing algorithms and systems for enhancing body and mind balance. Compared with green computing, orange computing lays more emphasis on humanistic care, particularly the elderly or those who require a certain degree of extra practical and physical/psychological help. According to color psychology, orange is a harmonic fusion of passion, love, and happiness. It is appropriate to choose orange as the representative color for orange computing. The goal of orange computing is to increase awareness of science and technology and finally to promote mental wellness for the well-being of the society.
