Hi,
We invite position papers and works-in-progress papers for the first international workshop on "Designing for self-care: Acknowledging the home-clinic difference" to be held alongside NordiCHI on 14th October, at the IT-University of Copenhagen.
Kindly consider submitting your work, and / or share with your network.
Regards,
Naveen Bagalkot

Workshop theme: Supporting the movement of care across boundaries
Increasingly successful healthcare involves moving the care
activities across the clinic-home boundaries. The field of HCI has
increasingly explored ways to design digital technological tools to
support this movement of care beyond the boundaries of a clinic.
However, the clinic and the home offer different settings, shaping
the care activities in different ways. Acknowledging this difference of
settings, opens up the space for various positions that designers can
take for the design for self-care. We identify three key positions:
- Home as a place for caring: A focus on supporting the citizens to
perform self-care activities at home that may (or may not) involve a
larger network of family, friends, home care nurses, volunteers and home
care workers.
- Clinic as a place for caring: A focus on supporting the care-givers
at the clinic to prescribe home-based care activities to the citizens,
and monitor how these are being complied with.
- Moving across the boundaries: A focus on supporting the citizens to
move across the clinic-home boundaries, bringing with them materials
from the clinic to home, and sharing the self-care activities from home
with their care-givers at the clinic.
We offer these three positions as a starting point to invite
researchers and practitioners working in this space of designing digital
technological tools for self-care to become part of the workshop
discourse. In particular we invite them to submit their positions in a
4-page ACM SIGCHI extended abstract format, based on their own empirical
experiences and / or theoretical deliberations.
Workshop goals
- To bring together researchers from HCI and interaction design, and
professional caregivers, to discuss and outline the challenges and
promises posed by the different individual settings for care, and moving
across these settings.
- To share insights from a range of cases about the challenges and
successful strategies in designing digital technology for self-care.
- To explore promising design strategies and approaches for dealing
with the challenges and promises posed by the different settings of
care.
Workshop Outcomes
All accepted papers should bring a poster representing their paper
to the workshop. This will be used during the workshop and its
discussions. While shorter presentation of each paper will take place,
the focus will be on more interactive sessions where the participants
will interview each other, group work and plenum discussions. The
workshop aims to share current work, methods, challenges and insights
when working with, or designing for, home-based care.
Proceedings
The workshop will produce its proceedings in the form of an online
database, which will be open to access by all interested researchers,
practitioners and students. We are also looking into options to publish
the proceedings with an ISBN number so that it is publicly available,
and the possibility to make a journal special issue after the workshop.
The proceedings will include:
- The call for position papers, which highlights the motivations and the theme of the workshop.
- The accepted position papers, and the respective posters.
- The minutes of the plenary discussions and the summary of the group work.
Submission format
Maximum four pages in ACM SIGCHI extended abstract format.
