ViRAS: Design Artifacts to Explore Socio-Material Configurations through a Research-through-Design Approach in Robot-Assisted Surgery

Robot-assisted surgery (RAS) has raised concerns within human-computer interaction, particularly regarding the socio-material configurations of robotic systems and their impact on surgical practices. To investigate these configurations in the context of the da Vinci robotic system, we used a research-through-design ap…

With, not For: Co-Designing a Patient-Facing AI Companion Concept for the Emergency Department Waiting Area

Emergency departments (EDs) often experience overcrowding, staff shortages, and long waiting times, which put a strain on clinicians and negatively impact patients' experiences. Although AI is commonly proposed to optimize clinical workflows, the perspectives of patients are often overlooked in AI design. We report…

“The AI is uncertain, so am I. What now?”: Navigating Shortcomings of Uncertainty Representations in Human-AI Collaboration with Capability-focused Guidance

As AI becomes increasingly relevant, especially in high-stakes domains such as healthcare, it is important to investigate which approaches can improve human-AI collaboration and, if so, why. Current research focuses primarily on technically available approaches, such as explainable AI (XAI), often overlooking human ne…

Designing Value-Centered Consent Interfaces: A Mixed-Methods Approach to Support Patient Values in Data-Sharing Decisions

In the digital health domain, ethical data collection practices are crucial for ensuring the availability of quality datasets that drive medical advancement. Data donation, allowing patients to share their medical data for secondary research purposes, presents a promising resource for such datasets. Yet, current conse…

"When Two Wrongs Don't Make a Right" - Examining Confirmation Bias and the Role of Time Pressure During Human-AI Collaboration in Computational Pathology

Artificial intelligence (AI)-based decision support systems hold promise for enhancing diagnostic accuracy and efficiency in computational pathology. However, human-AI collaboration can introduce and amplify cognitive biases, like confirmation bias caused by false confirmation when erroneous human opinions are reinfor…

CSCW '24Session 4c: Data Donation, Privacy and Security

Communicating the Privacy-Utility Trade-off: Supporting Informed Data Donation with Privacy Decision Interfaces for Differential Privacy

Data collections, such as those from citizen science projects, can provide valuable scientific insights or help the public to make decisions based on real demand. At the same time, the collected data might cause privacy risks for their volunteers, for example, by revealing sensitive information. Similar but less appar…

Advocating Values through Meaningful Participation: Introducing a Method to Elicit and Analyze Values for Enriching Data Donation Practices in Healthcare

The secondary use of routinely collected patient data made possible by the broad consent form is seen as a prerequisite for developing data-driven health technologies. In Germany, relevant stakeholder groups (e.g., ethics committees and data protection authorities) specified the broad consent form; however, only one g…

Critical-Reflective Human-AI Collaboration: Exploring Computational Tools for Art Historical Image Retrieval

Just as other disciplines, the humanities explore how computational research approaches and tools can meaningfully contribute to scholarly knowledge production. Building on related work from the areas of CSCW and HCI, we approach the design of computational tools through the analytical lens of `human-AI collaboration.…

The U in Crypto Stands for Usable: An Empirical Study of User Experience with Mobile Cryptocurrency Wallets

In a corpus of 45,821 app reviews of the top five mobile cryptocurrency wallets, we identified and qualitatively analyzed 6,859 reviews pertaining to the user experience (UX) with those wallets. Our analysis suggests that both new and experienced users struggle with general and domain-specific UX issues that, aside fr…

Discovering the Sweet Spot of Human-Computer Configurations: A Case Study in Information Extraction

Interactive intelligent systems, i.e., interactive systems that employ AI technologies, are currently present in many parts of our social, public and political life. An issue reoccurring often in the development of these systems is the question regarding the level of appropriate human and computer contributions. Engin…
