HCI nature:culture dialogues have recently gained traction, highlighting ample opportunities for investigation. In this paper we look at the potential of locative games in fostering caring engagement with natural/cultural heritage. We present the results ...

This paper explores the role of Participatory Design (PD) in revitalizing Satoyama, traditional Japanese commons, amidst rapid depopulation. Satoyama, a symbiotic human-nature system, offers valuable ecosystem services and is integral to local cultural ...

This paper investigates what characterises nurses’ data work, documentation practices and coordination in care work. The study acts as an entry point for qualitatively exploring how nurses deal with and navigate bias in practice. What is critical data ...

Emergent technology of digital phenotyping (DP) for mental health promises to serve as a window to the lived experiences of patients through the collection and analysis of passive and interaction data from personal mobile devices and wearables. However, ...

We propose the notion of Design for Temporal Cohabitation as a way to introduce a critical agenda to time in more-than-human and ecological design. Despite increased calls for HCI researchers to temporally attune to other-than-human species, overall ...

This paper explores how FemTech platforms appropriate the term ‘care’ to create a collaborative, non-judgmental, and data-driven approach for a sexual and reproductive health condition like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). In contrast, offline ...

Materiality of artefacts holds the potential to intricately and dynamically shape our daily practices. We posit this capacity can be harnessed in fostering creative unfolding of everyday care practices towards living artefacts. To explore this premise, ...

We explore how actively engaging with the temporalities of a nonhuman organism can lead to multispecies understanding. To do so, we design a bio-digital calendar that brings attention to the growth and health of kombucha SCOBY, a symbiotic culture of ...

This one-day hybrid workshop builds on previous feminist CSCW workshops to explore feminist theoretical and methodological approaches that have provided us with useful tools to see things differently and make space for change. Since its inception over a ...

Much more than their machinic reality, current iterations of AI rely on imagined divisions of human and non-human properties and skills that have genealogical ties to colonization. For this reason, research efforts have recently been made to ...

Scholars across Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) increasingly focus on the topic of care when investigating data-driven technologies in contexts of re-humanizing technology design and usage. Previous studies have shown how care work ...

The ageing of the population is one of the most significant social transformations that the twenty first century is showcasing and a challenge that impacts society at large. The elderly, inasmuch as everybody else, are confronted with continuous ...

With the growing need for wheelchairs, much wheelchair research has focused on wheelchair control, such as fully automatic driving and remote control. For wheelchair users, conversations with caregivers and others around the wheelchair are also ...

Assistance robots in the healthcare sector represent an innovative solution to support and relieve the workload of nursing staff but have rarely been used to date. The aim of the study is to identify the added value, experiences, relevant drivers ...

What are the limits of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the relational aspects of medical and nursing care? There has been a lot of recent work and applications showing the promise and efficiency of AI in clinical medicine, both at the ...

We introduce LUNAChair, a remote control and communication system that uses omnidirectional video to connect a remote caregiver to a wheelchair user and a third person around the wheelchair. With the recent growing need for wheelchairs, much of the ...

We present a short film following the creation of four co-designed objects which were gifted between participants from two community groups, a group of older men living with conditions affecting their mental health, including dementia, and a group of ...

Despite the importance of Participatory Design literature concerned with democracy as a process of engaging through what arises from or in response to problems experienced in the situation, we identify the need to design alternative ontologies and ...

Caregivers experience high musculoskeletal loads during their daily work, which leads to back complaints and a high rate of absenteeism at work. This reinforces the already existing discrepancy between the supply and demand of caregivers. ...
