@inproceedings{4374, abstract = {{Our goal is to develop a system for coaching human motions (e.g. rehabilitation). Such a coaching system should have several function such as motion measurement, evaluation, and feedback. Among all, this paper focuses on how to modify a user’s motion so that it gets closer to the good template of a target motion. To this end, it is important to efficiently advise the user to emulate the crucial features that define the good template. The proposed method automatically mines the crucial features of any kind of motions from a set of all motion features. The crucial features are mined based on feature sparsification through binary classification between the samples of good and other motions.}}, author = {{Ukita, Norimichi and Eimon, Koki and Röcker, Carsten}}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare }}, editor = {{Hein, Andreas}}, isbn = {{978-1-63190-011-2}}, keywords = {{motion coach, rehabilitation, pervasive health, ambient assisted living}}, location = {{Oldenburg}}, pages = {{223--226}}, publisher = {{ ICST (Institute for Computer Sciences, Social-Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering)}}, title = {{{Mining Crucial Features for Automatic Rehabilitation Coaching Systems}}}, doi = {{10.4108/icst.pervasivehealth.2014.255133}}, year = {{2014}}, } @inbook{4375, abstract = {{This chapter starts with an overview of the technical innovations and societal transformation processes we have seen in the last decades and as well as the consequences those changes have for the design of pervasive healthcare systems.

However, little is known about what determines trustworthiness in this context. For this reason the objective was to examine mental models in terms of anthropomorphic perception of smart home environments and its relation to trustworthiness. Two studies (N=36) were carried out in the Future Care Lab, a simulated intelligent home environment. We used the teach-back method to help participants to talk about the smart home environment technology and asked to generate a metaphor of an experienced home-monitoring scenario. Finally, we applied linguistic analysis of responses to detect anthropomorphic characteristics. In general, results demonstrate inspiring metaphors related to the personal assistance system, e.g. "like an airbag…" or "like a family member…", which might be useful for future interface designs and approaches of communication in the context of smart home environments. However, no relation of anthropomorphism and trustworthiness could be found. Therefore, we suggest an anthropomorphic threshold, which should be investigated by using an improved method and trust scale.}}, author = {{Sack, Oliver and Röcker, Carsten}}, issn = {{2368-6103}}, journal = {{International Journal of Virtual Worlds and Human Computer Interaction}}, keywords = {{Smart environment, e-health, user study, mental model, anthropomorphism, metaphor, technology acceptance, trust, evaluation}}, number = {{1}}, pages = {{28 -- 36}}, publisher = {{ Avestia Publishing, International ASET Inc. }}, title = {{{“Like a Family Member Who Takes Care of Me” – Users’ Anthropomorphic Representations and Trustworthiness of Smart Home Environments}}}, doi = {{10.11159/vwhci.2014.004}}, volume = {{2}}, year = {{2014}}, } @article{4384, abstract = {{The number of elderly people requiring long-term care is rising every year.

As one possible application of this system, we set up a remote dining situation for two users. The dinner table is visually extended into the virtual environment in which a live video stream of the dining partner is shown.

This is especially important, as users of future healthcare systems will be increasingly characterized by diversity. Relying only on highly experienced and technology-prone user groups, which might have been typical users in the last decades, is not sufficient anymore. Rather, elderly users, users with a completely different upbringing and domain knowledge, and ill or handicapped people will have to use the systems. Today, the understanding, in which way physical, emotional and cognitive abilities, caused by individual learning histories and health states, may impact the usage and acceptance of pervasive healthcare technologies, is restricted. This research contributes to this topic by investigating the acceptance motives of aged users with different health states regarding three different implementation concepts for medical technologies: medical technology implemented in mobile devices, smart environments and smart clothing. Using the questionnaire method, a total of 82 users between 40 and 92 years of age were examined regarding their usage motives and barriers with respect to the different technology concepts. Overall, it was revealed that acceptance issues and users' needs and wants should be considered in order to successfully design new medical technologies.}}, author = {{Ziefle, Martina and Röcker, Carsten}}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the 4th International ICST Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare (PervasiveHealth’10), Munich, Germany, March 22-25, CD-ROM}}, keywords = {{Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing, AmbientAssisted Living, Technology Acceptance, Health Study}}, location = {{München, Germany}}, publisher = {{IEEE}}, title = {{{Acceptance of Pervasive Healthcare Systems: A Comparison of Different Implementation Concepts}}}, doi = {{10.4108/ICST.PERVASIVEHEALTH2010.8915}}, year = {{2010}}, }
