- Blended Reality Space is our term for an interactive mixed-reality environment where the physical and the virtual are intimately combined ill the service of interaction goals and communication environments aimed at health support and rehabilitation. The present study examines the effect on rated presence and self-presence of three key factors in the way blended realities may be implemented for these purposes. Our findings emphasize the importance of tangibility for presence, but suggest that presence and self-presence are unrelated phenomena. These findings will be incorporated into design principles for our planned work to develop free movement-based interactions for motor rehabilitation as well as blended-reality spaces for collaboration between hospitals, care organizations, and the home.

Crossing Boundaries : Transferring eHealth services across the Northern Periphery
- 2013
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Health care organisations in Finland, Norway, Scotland and Sweden face similar challenges when it comes to providing health services in the sparsely populated rural areas. Vast distances, centralized health services, harsh climate and limited access to public transport can make accessing health services difficult. In order to provide health services for the population of the Northern Periphery it is necessary to develop health care service models which can address the problems of isolation, remoteness and centralized health services. One way of overcoming these issues is to develop eHealth services that focus on increasing access to health services in the rural areas.As health care organisations’ resources are often limited, the possibilities to develop, test and implement eHealth services can be restricted. Thus, transferring existing eHealth services across organisational and national boundaries can be beneficial, as the services have already been tested in practice. Taking advantage of the knowledge health care organisations in different countries have can support organisations in their drive to develop service provision models that reach out to the population of the Northern Periphery.The main objective of this thesis is to understand how local conditions influence the outcomes of eHealth transfer. In order to do so the transnational implementation of five eHealth services was investigated in five case studies. This research gives insight into how differences in organisational structure, ICT infrastructure and the size of the patient base impact health care organisations’ possibility to transfer and utilize existing eHealth services. In addition, this research offers rich insights into how these factors impact the sustainability of eHealth services. The case studies also illustrate how stakeholder collaboration and knowledge exchange impact the process of transferring eHealth services, and how patients’ and professionals’ level of trust in eHealth services can materialize in practice. In addition, this thesis demonstrates why the benefits obtained with a specific eHealth service may, or may not be duplicable in another organisational context. The research discussed in this thesis also contributes to the understanding of how assessing organisational readiness prior to transferring and eHealth services can facilitate the implementation process.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The term "presence" entered in the wide scientific debate in 1992 when Sheridan and Furness used it in the title of a new journal dedicated to the study of virtual reality systems and teleoperations: Presence, Teleoperators and Virtual Environments. Following this approach, the term "presence" has been used to describe a widely re-ported sensation experienced during the use of virtual reality. The main limitation of this vision is what is not said. What is presence for? Is it a specific cognitive process? To answer to these questions, a second group of researchers considers presence as a broad psychological phenomenon, not necessarily linked to the experience of a medium, whose goal is the control of the individual and social activity. In this chapter we support this second vision, starting from the following broad statements: (a) the psychology of presence is related to human action and its organization in the environment; (b) the psychology of presence is related to the body and to the embodiment process; (c) presence is an evolved process related to the understanding and management of the causal texture of both the physical and social worlds. In the following paragraphs we will justify these claims and underline their relevance for the design and usage of interactive technologies.

Designing EmoHCI : Emotions and presence in HCI

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Today emotions are more accepted as an important ingredient of human life. Several studies show that emotions play a vital role in almost everything we do, for example in cognitive functions, such as rational decision making and learning, as well as in perception.

Designing IT for Older People

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Older people are largely excluded from the use of new information and communication technology (IT), a fact which contributes to the tendency for them to become socially isolated and under-stimulated TO understand any group of users, the design team needs to get to know them. Spending time with older people, especially observing and participating in their normal social activities, provides many clues on which to base design decisions. Older people with memory problems often cannot learn new skills, or at least cannot retain them. However, longstanding knowledge remains. For this reason, a design based around an interaction metaphor from earlier technology can prove effective. We briefly introduce the MAMA (Mobile Augmented Memory Aid) project, and describe the hardware and software prototypes that have resulted so tar. We go on to present Five design principles developed during the project, as a general approach to designing technology for older users. We indicate future work and how our approach can be applied more generally in the area of eInclusion.
