A-PLR: An Activity-Aware Assistant for Accurate and Usable Passive Leg Raise Tests in the Smart ICU

The Passive Leg Raise (PLR) test serves as an essential diagnostic instrument for evaluating fluid responsiveness within intensive care units (ICUs). Nevertheless, its execution and interpretation are susceptible to errors resulting from procedural complexity and clinician workload. We introduce A-PLR, an activity-awa…

Mixed Presence in Mixed Reality: Charting the Challenges and Opportunities

This paper investigates the challenges of designing mixed-presence environments for Mixed Reality and suggests future research directions derived from an expert workshop. Developing mixed-presence systems is a complex undertaking that combines the intricacies of both co-located and distributed mixed-reality spaces. Cu…

Finding a Home for Voice Assistants: A Domestication Calculus Across Three Years and Thirty Households

HCI has explored voice assistant (VA) use across various social settings, highlighting their impact on personal and familial dynamics. Yet, the progressive domestication of these devices over time and their longer-term impact on relationships remain underexplored. We present findings from a three-year study of 30 hou…

Mental Workload Prediction Using Physiological Signals: Balancing Performance and Interpretability

Mental workload critically affects well-being and performance in safety-critical systems. While machine learning models for mental workload prediction often leverage physiological indicators, interpretability and error analysis are frequently overlooked. This study develops robust models for workload prediction that e…

Navigating Ethical Dilemmas: The Value Landscape Behind Fieldwork Decisions

Fieldwork provides essential access to participants’ everyday practices, but this close engagement also exposes researchers to unpredictable ethical dilemmas. Navigating these dilemmas can be challenging for researchers because ethics principles, codes of conduct, or assessment by ethics boards do not address all fiel…

Who is Trusted for a Second Opinion? Comparing Collective Advice from a Medical AI and Physicians in Biopsy Decisions After Mammography Screening

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into clinical practice, but its influence on patient decision-making, particularly when AI and physicians disagree, remains unclear. To examine collective advice, we investigated a breast cancer screening scenario using (1) a qualitative interview study (N=9) and…

"They are responsible for ensuring that I can continue to use the service." Investigating Users' Expectations Towards 2FA Recovery in Germany

Two-factor authentication is often recommended for increasing online security, and users often follow this by using their phones. If physical items become unavailable, there is a risk of losing access to the account due to missing authentication requirements. In such cases, users need a backup or help from the service…

Knowledge spillover between serendipity and strategic planning, Lessons for practice-oriented interventions into regional innovation systems

Previous CSCW research has paid increasing attention to regional innovation systems providing the context for CSCW research and design. In this paper we provide insights into attempts to intervene in such a regional innovation system via practice-oriented activities. Our findings describe experiences of co-creating kn…

Voice Assistants' Accountability through Explanatory Dialogues

As voice assistants (VAs) become more advanced leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) and natural language processing, their potential for accountable behavior expands. Yet, the long-term situational effectiveness of VAs’ accounts when errors occur remains unclear. In our 19-month exploratory study with 19 households…

Understanding How Parents Deal With the Health Advice They Receive: A Qualitative Study and Implications for the Design of Message-based Health Dissemination Systems for Child Health

Message-based health information dissemination systems can potentially improve maternal and child health (MCH). By conveying health information to parents, SMS- and chatbot-based systems can support parents’ learning and empower them to make better health decisions for their children. However, there is limited design…
