Funding progress for 2010:
Workshop on Pervasive healthcare in the home
Supporting patient motivation and engagement
Call For Papers / Call For Participation (CfP)
ABSTRACT
Currently, care and rehabilitation practices move, to a greater extent, out of hospitals and into
private homes. This accelerating trend challenges healthcare systems and their patients.
Heterogeneous settings such as private homes together with the diverse nature of the inhabitants
and their conditions create both technical and usability constraints and possibilities that can inform
development of home-based care and rehabilitation applications. This workshop likes to investigate
and discuss challenges, requirements and possibilities related to home-based healthcare applications,
seen from a patient perspective. For example, how do we design for acceptance and engagement
among patients and their families living with these systems on an everyday basis? How can barriers
related to patient engagement, motivation and the feeling of ‘being cared for be handled by
developed systems in heterogeneous environments such as private homes? Or, how can User Driven
Innovation (UDI) and Participatory Design (PD) be used to create systems that are aesthetically and
functionally accepted by persons subject to homebased healthcare and rehabilitation?
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
This Workshop will be a one full-day workshop. We expect high-quality, non-previously published
work to be submitted. Accepted papers should be four pages long, and formatted according to the
format of the main conference, Pervasive Health 2010. The workshop will be a mix of traditional
presentations and discussions. Position papers should include a statement no longer than 200
words containing a research question related to the submitted paper. The research questions will be
published on a discussion group on Facebook before the workshop to stimulate an on-
line debate. The debate will inform the discussion at the workshop. The objective of the workshop is
to bring together researchers, designers and practitioners – to present, discuss and contribute to a
framework related to the design of pervasive healthcare, from a patient perspective.
The workshop likes to contribute to the design of pervasive healthcare applications and systems for
the home. The focus will be on studies and applications that discuss a home care environment and
outcome of such work, addressing individually or in combination socio-technical aspects of
healthcare in the home, technological aspects of healthcare in the home, and methodological
challenges of how methods such as UDI and PD can be used to develop tools and applications that
embrace the challenges related to motivation and engagement. Both theoretical investigations and
work based on empirical efforts are welcome. Examples of successful and less successful projects
alike are invited creating a framework related to the design of successful applications for self-
managed care in private homes.
All accepted workshop papers will be included in the conference proceedings and published in IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
Topics addressed in the workshop include, but are not limited to:
* Challenges with and new methods of UDI/PD in home-based healthcare
* Mismatch professional/patient understanding
* Responsibility for own treatment
* Aesthetics in the home and functionality
* Adapting solutions to each home and patient (physically and digital)
* Close family, Relatives, Community and their roles
* Integration of treatment in the daily life
* Home/hospital collaboration
* Patient vs citizen (patient role)
* Mobility
* Collaboration
