Who We Are •
Study different interaction contexts and enhance them by optimized experiences
•
Development of interactive systems in different contexts, main research stream is Ambient Assisted Living / Special User Groups / Inclusive Design
•
Application of user-centered methodologies towards innovative and optimized applications – User experience requirements analysis and user studies for older adults – Iterative design cycles, development of interaction alternatives – Evaluation of concepts and prototypes (in lab and field)
•
•
Exploration and evaluation of measurements methods with the focus on User Experience and User Acceptance in different settings – Expertise in various assessment techniques (questionnaires, probing, expert and user interviews, bio-physiological measurement, etc.) – Assessing the importance of physiological and social factors for an optimized User Experience of people with special needs Project responsibilities: user requirements analysis, evaluation

Project Idea JoinTVitality – Help me if you care … offers a useful set of AAL-related functionality and services to older adults as well as formal and informal carers through the use of HbbTV-enabled devices. It will be realized by HbbTV application(s) running on the television sets, combined with third screens (e.g., Smartphones, Tablets) as input devices and service backends. Services and functions provided through JoinTVitality could be: •
•
• • •
a help exchange system for TV-to-TV communication: one ‘posts’ a need for groceries, another one for making the bed, etc. in residential homes without having the need to call someone. If there is no help available, the system could be extended to family and friends, and finally to formal carers (also by TV-to-any communication, like smartphones, computers or text messages). This would on the one hand stimulate activities and support on the other hand self-care at home. the support of social integration and connecting generations for informal care, e.g., through displaying and answering short messages "Should I help you with the laundry tomorrow?" answers "yes", "no" or "later" (which can be selected for example by pressing red, green, blue or yellow buttons). the access to services like meals on wheels, buying basic necessities with delivery to home, medical help or assistance (doctors, caretakers), house-keeping or cleaning, taxi, etc. a reminder for medication, (periodic) home visits, or other appointments; a general information service (news, weather, etc.) the possibility of calling for help via the TV remote or third screen (Alarm)

Project Idea foodies - food is enhancing strong health … provides a tablet or other mobile device that allows the selection of food an older person has at home (the selection happens on basis of pictures) and the system suggests dishes/meals that could be prepared based on the individual health status. If, e.g., a person is obese, the system suggests to use margarine instead of butter or to reduce the proportion of sugar. In the longer term, changes in the buying behavior of an older person are intended. The following activities could be supported: •

suggests ideas for meals/dishes an older person could prepare based on the groceries the person has at home. By considering the person’s health status (food intolerances, obese, etc.) it supports personal diet assistance and helps to reduce weight if necessary. provide shopping assistance, i.e. if the food that is needed to prepare a certain dish is already empty, a notice is automatically added to a virtual shopping list so that the older adult is reminded to buy this kind of food when going for groceries. Additionally, to the central service of providing suggestions for dishes a person could prepare, the system could provide serious games, so that an older adult could learn how to change his/her nutrition behavior to support his/her own health condition, e.g., possibilities for oils one could use when cooking to reduce the cholesterol level. This approach would enhance older adults’ self-determination and support a healthy lifestyle.
