  abstract     = {{Due to the demographic aging of society, the demand for skilled caregiving is increasing. However, the already existing shortage of professional caregivers will exacerbate in the future. As a result, family caregivers must shoulder a heavier share of the care burden. To ease the burden and promote a better work-life balance, we developed the Digital Case Manager. This tool uses machine learning algorithms to learn the relationship between a care situation and the next care steps and helps family caregivers balance their professional and private lives so that they are able to continue caring for their family members without sacrificing their own jobs and personal ambitions. The data for the machine learning model are generated by means of a questionnaire based on professional assessment instruments. We implemented a proof-of-concept of the Digital Case Manager and initial tests show promising results. It offers a quick and easy-to-use tool for family caregivers in the early stages of a care situation.}},

While the potential benefits of smart healthcare solutions are undeniable, privacysensitive design concepts are necessary to guarantee their wide-spread adoption. This paper takes a closer look at privacy regulation mechanisms in everyday life and illustrates the importance of incorporating these intuitive human processes into the design of future homecare applications.}},

The program started in January 2009 as part of the Human Technology Centre, a newly established project house, funded by the Excellence Initiative of the German federal and state governments. The program aims at designing adaptive immersive interfaces for personal healthcare systems and develops novel, integrative prototypes for the design of user-centered healthcare systems. This includes new concepts of electronic monitoring systems within ambient living environments, suited to support persons individually (according to user profiles), adaptively (according to the course of disease) and sensitively (according to living conditions).}},
