- Conference PaperMobiAssist - ICT-Based Training System for People with Dementia and Their Caregivers: Results from a Field Study(Proceedings of the 2018 ACM International Conference on Supporting Group Work, 2018) Unbehaun, David; Vaziri, Daryoush; Aal, Konstantin; Li, Qinyu; Wieching, Rainer; Wulf, VolkerAs a result of ageing societies, the prevalence of dementia, and accordingly the need of care is increasing rapidly. Here, the use of ICT-based technologies may facilitate and promote a self-sustaining life-style for people with dementia and their caregivers. The presented poster describes early findings from the project MobiAssist and outlines the ICT-based training system. The system aims to increase the physical and cognitive capabilities of people with dementia, relief the caregivers and improve wellbeing of involved parties.
- Journal ArticleThree Gaps in Opening Science(Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW): Vol. 28, 43631) Mosconi, Gaia; Li, Qinyu; Randall, Dave; Karasti, Helena; Tolmie, Peter; Barutzky, Jana; Korn, Matthias; Pipek, VolkmarThe Open Science (OS) agenda has potentially massive cultural, organizational and infrastructural consequences. Ambitions for OS-driven policies have proliferated, within which researchers are expected to publish their scientific data. Significant research has been devoted to studying the issues associated with managing Open Research Data. Digital curation, as it is typically known, seeks to assess data management issues to ensure its long-term value and encourage secondary use. Hitherto, relatively little interest has been shown in examining the immense gap that exists between the OS grand vision and researchers’ actual data practices. Our specific contribution is to examine research data practices before systematic attempts at curation are made. We suggest that interdisciplinary ethnographically-driven contexts offer a perspicuous opportunity to understand the Data Curation and Research Data Management issues that can problematize uptake. These relate to obvious discrepancies between Open Research Data policies and subject-specific research practices and needs. Not least, it opens up questions about how data is constituted in different disciplinary and interdisciplinary contexts. We present a detailed empirical account of interdisciplinary ethnographically-driven research contexts in order to clarify critical aspects of the OS agenda and how to realize its benefits, highlighting three gaps: between policy and practice, in knowledge, and in tool use and development.

- Conference PaperVideo-Game Based Exergames for People with Dementia and Their Caregivers(Proceedings of the 2018 ACM International Conference on Supporting Group Work, 2018) Unbehaun, David; Vaziri, Daryoush; Aal, Konstantin; Li, Qinyu; Wieching, Rainer; Wulf, VolkerDementia not only affects the cognitive capabilities, especially memory and orientation, but also physical capabilities, which are associated with a decrease of physical activities. Here, ICT can play a major role to improve health, quality of life and wellbeing in older adults suffering from dementia and related stakeholders, such as relatives, professional and informal caregivers. The aim of the presented system is to increase physical and cognitive capabilities of people with dementia and their caregivers to support them in daily life activities, reduce the strain of the caregivers and improve both their wellbeing.
