The Human-computer Interaction (HCI) community has the opportunity to foster integration of research practices across Global South and North begin overcoming colonial relationships. In this paper, we focus on case Latin America (LATAM), where initiatives increase representation HCI practitioners lack a consolidated understanding they employ, factors that influence them, challenges face. To address knowledge gap, employ mixed-methods approach, comprising survey (66 respondents) in-depth...
This article reports the results of an exploratory study designed to reduce heat and electricity consumption in industrial drying radiata pine. The experiments were performed with slight modifications standard schedules used by sawmill dry pine 100-m3 kilns. determined data collected during runs calculations based on mathematical models. showed that depending case, power respectively reduced up 14 35%.
Pain is usually measured through patient reports during doctor visits, but it requires regular evaluation under real-life conditions to be resolved effectively. Over half of older adults suffer from pain. Chronic such as this one may monitored technology; however, elderly users require technology specifically designed for them, because many have cognitive and physical limitations lack digital skills. The purpose article study whether mobile or wearable devices are appropriate self-report...
AbstractMother caregivers of children with cancer are often unaware how the tasks caregiving interfere in their social relationships and lifestyle. This article explores persuasive mobile technologies may promote self-reflection introspection communication practices, emotions, The describes design EmotionMingle, a system running situated display showing an ambient visualization using metaphor tree to represent status individual's network that, used tandem downloaded Facebook photographs,...
Predictions of people's behaviour increasingly drive interactions with a new generation IoT services designed to support everyday life in the home, from shopping heating. Based on premise that such automation is difficult due contingent nature practices, this work we explore these contingencies depth. We have and conducted technology probe made use simple linear predictions as provocation, invited people track their household essentials over two-month period. Through mixed-method approach...
Chronic pain reduces quality of life and affects patients' emotional well-being. When technologies for monitoring reporting emotions are applied to people suffering from chronic pain, mental health problems may be detected, allowing professionals improve treatments understand their patients in real contexts. However, older with limited by knowledge about technology. Our work aims how design wearable devices that allow adults input complex information such as levels states.
Mobile devices, including activity trackers and smartwatches, can help older adults monitor health parameters passively unobtrusively. Most user interactions with small devices consist of brief glances at the time or notifications. Consuming information from displays poses challenges, which have been seldom studied perspective users. In this paper, we worked towards creating data visualizations for them devices. We conducted a mixed-methods study 30 adults, in (1) group discussions to...
This paper examines 'the routine shop' as part of a project that is exploring automation and autonomy in the Internet Things. In particular we explicate 'work' involved anticipating need using an ethnomethodological analysis makes visible mundane, 'seen but unnoticed' methodologies household members accountably employ to organise list construction accomplish calculation on shop floor. We discuss reflect challenges members' pose for proactive systems seek support domestic grocery shopping,...
The most common requirement for informal caregivers is to experience a respite or temporary break from their caregiving routine. Some initiatives have been undertaken provide care through volunteer providers. We report on qualitative study carried out in Santiago, Chile, learn about the willingness of potential volunteers bedridden older persons, as well use information and communication technologies (ICT) connect low-income neighbourhood within own geographic district. A trustworthy...

While technology and other interventions exist help people their caregivers with medication management, most of them are unreliable when dealing complex regimens. Previous research shows that robots could provide reminders well social emotional support, offering a promising...
Purpose: Informal caregivers of bedridden elders need a respite. One form obtaining respite is through volunteers who are contacted by means information and communication technology (ICT). Method: A qualitative study was carried out in low-income district Santiago, Chile, to learn about how perceive the possibility using ICT access this In-depth interviews were transcribed verbatim, then analysed open coding. Results: The results reveal that willing receive volunteer their home use...
Building effective voice interfaces for the instruction of service robots in specialised environments is difficult due to local knowledge workers, such as specific terminology objects and space, leading limited data train language models (known 'low-resource' domains) challenges grounding. We present a grounding study which we a) elicit spoken natural context experts situ through Wizard Oz compile dataset, b) qualitatively examine linguistic properties resulting instructions reveal...
Abstract. The recent trend towards open data and science as well a demand for holistic interdisciplinary research requires platforms that allow the distribution exchange of data, including geographic information. While requirements benefits are widely discussed, there few proposals on how to implement not only permit among researchers, but also distribute results interest public. We elaborate what points important implementing (geographic) repository propose then adopt concept Spatial Data...
Advances in AI and emerging technologies offer opportunities to deliver societal benefits low- middle-income countries (LMICs) that would contribute achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. systems healthcare may develop assistive technologies, bridging digital divide, improving quality of life through effective health systems, developing more personalised precise medicine. Given imbalanced research on across Global North South, there is a strong imperative larger corpus...
Over the past decade, community collaborations have come into focus within HCI and CSCW fields. Largely result of increased concern for social contextual dimensions practice, these partnerships facilitate a pathway researchers practitioners to foreground nuances technology as it takes place in real world. How are engaged, what values mediate them, how practices might vary across geographies remain active research questions. In this paper, we contribute by zooming experience four engaging...
Effective communication is essential in collaborative tasks, so AI-equipped robots working alongside humans need to be able explain their behaviour order cooperate effectively and earn trust. We analyse classify communications among human participants collaborating complete a simulated emergency response task. The analysis identifies messages that relate various kinds of interactive explanations identified the explainable AI literature. This allows us understand what type expect from...
