Vita

David David Struzek works as a research assistant at the chair of Business Informatics at the University of Siegen in the area of “IT for the aging society”. Since 1.6. he has been coordinating the research project Acitve City Innovations at the University of Siegen, which deals, among other things, with the topic “Joy and Movement in Public Space”. In addition, the Digi.DoM project (www.digitale-dorfmitte.de) supports the team in the introduction and research of everyday technologies with a focus on older villagers.

The focus of his doctoral thesis is on the topic of “Smart Rural Areas” from the perspective of social informatics to promote social participation through technology. David Struzek completed his Master (M.Sc.) in Human Computer Interaction at the chair of the same name. As part of his master’s thesis, he investigated the development of a persuasive system for increasing movement in the context of an aging society in the BMBF-funded research project “Cognitive Village”. Mr. Struzek received his Bachelor (B.Sc.) at the Technical University of Cologne in the course of studies Media Informatics. In his bachelor thesis, he dealt with the design requirements of mobile devices for older users in the cooperation project “Hilfe, Rat & Tat für Mieterinnen und Mieterinnen” (Help, Advice & Action for Tenants), which was carried out by the University of Siegen.

Mr. Struzek has further research interests in the areas of human-computer interaction, user experience, usability & accessibility and creative science. Mr. Struzek gained further experience through his self-employment in the field of web design/programming and art licensing.

Active City Innovation

The University of Siegen would like to motivate citizens of the city of Siegen to (jointly) dance and move in an experimental scenario with the focus on “dance and the joy of movement in public space” with the help of technical everyday solutions in public space. Experiences and results of this scenario and the developed applications will be made available to the project “Active City Innovation”, which aims at the development of an applicable guideline for the development of active cities. Active cities try to increase the movement and well-being of citizens through innovative concepts and thus improve the quality of life.

“Active City Innovation” (ACI) is a sub-project of the large international sports innovation network project (SINN-I), which aims to promote innovations in the areas of exercise, health and joie de vivre and enjoyment of movement worldwide.

Digitale Dorfmitte

Digital Village.Centre (Digi.DoM) addresses the issues and needs of the villages and their inhabitants, takes existing projects and initiatives as a starting point for concrete digital development and is part of an overall regional strategy. Proven technical solutions are adapted to specific projects. Digitale Dorf.Mitte has a duration of about two and a half years (12/2017 – 4/2020). It is a project of the University of Siegen, which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture as part of the programme “Land.Digital: Opportunities of digitisation for rural areas”. Cooperation partners are the LEADER region Wittgenstein and the Regionale Südwestfalen 2025 with a focus on digitisation.

Cognitive Village/ Networked Village – Adaptive learners, technical everyday companions in ageing

The Cooperative project aims at the goal to connect learning and mobile technical solutions with existing individual living structures of older people and their social network (Cognitive Village). They should help the older people to an easier access to support in their local environment, so that they can still live autonomous to a great extent in spite of mental and physical deficits.

These solutions should be kept simple to increase the technical, economic and political chance of realization. The perspective of the user as an older person and the social networks as well as further stakeholders, which are relevant for the care in the close environment, participatory design approaches secure an everyday live embedding and matching of the technical solutions. The solutions will be embedded in two different apartments and living complexes (section of a city and village) to identify the effects of the living environment on the technical solutions.

    Developing telehealth systems to address global health challenges is becoming increasingly rapid. This can lead to increased complexity, especially in interdisciplinary research projects between industry, medicine and socio-informatics. Especially when partners do not share a disciplinary language or perspective. In this position paper we would like to reflect on the negotiation and development process of an adapted method to gather first practical experiences for the implementation of functionalities of a speech-based diagnostic system to support people with Long COVID symptoms and the associated challenges and influences with the project partners. We want to show that for the design of hybrid healthcare systems it is important, that an understanding between disciplines and approaches should be achieved.

    [BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]
    Recent advancements in data science and AI-driven healthcare technologies are bringing up novel opportunities for innovations, such as personalized medicine, self-diagnostic tools for everyday use, or hybrid healthcare models. However, the development of these technologies often overlooks the perspectives of patients and their families and socio-cultural surroundings, posing significant social, technological, and ethical challenges related to data bias, empowerment or surveillance, respectively. Bringing together interdisciplinary, interprofessional, and intersectoral collaboration in a systematic way seems to be a crucial element for adressing these issues and ensuring the meaningful integration of sensitive data and AI technologies into patient-centred healthcare arrangements. In this workshop, researchers and practitioners from diverse related disciplines, including HCI, AI, social and cultural sciences, healthcare, gerontology, etc., are invited to share their case studies on innovative health technologies and medical AI. Drawing from contextual best practices, as well as challenges and failures, the workshop organizers aim to collectively devise a systematic approach for co-designing and implementing telemedical innovations in real-world healthcare settings.

    [BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]
    The value of hybrid approaches in healthcare has become apparent, in particular, during the recent Covid-19 pandemic, but remains important post-covid, as hybrid modes of operation can mitigate other issues, e.g. remote healthcare delivery, or sustainable healthcare. The advancement of data science and artificial intelligence enables these hybrid modes of healthcare, but also calls for integrated co-creative design approaches that bring together experts in AI, Socio-Informatics, UX and Ethics as well as citizens and practitioners. Despite a long-standing tradition of participatory approaches within HCI, an analysis of the literature shows that a deeper analysis of the practice of inter- and transdisciplinary participatory research in the healthcare field is missing. Furthermore, the aforementioned technological advancements bring new social, technical and ethical issues to the fore, among others questions of data bias, and empowerment of stakeholders. In this workshop we invite researchers and practitioners from diverse backgrounds to share their experiences and (design) case studies in co-creation of hybrid health systems and learn from contextualized best practices and failures. Through building on these experiences and cases and taking inspiration from praxeological research, we would like to collaborate towards a systematic approach for reflection in co-creation of hybrid healthcare systems.

    Participatory design is a widely used approach in technology development. Participation and active involvement of target groups help understand socio-cultural contexts and build bridges between the imaginary worlds of designers and future users. Especially if the worlds of imagination are very different, means are needed to open up shared creative spaces. When working with co-researchers who have little experience with technology, it is crucial to find methods that provide them with a joyful and meaningful path to technological topics. The question of motivation, digital literacy and the creation of supportive learning spaces are particularly important. In this paper, we elaborate the concepts of “Empirically-based Participatory Design Workshops” (EbPDW) and “Technology Probes” as means to illustrate the cooperative processes of mutually developing joint constructions of imaginations of actual and future IT usage between IT researchers and older project participants.

    Gemeinsame Fachtagung der DGGG: „(Neue) Lebensformen im Alter“. doi:10.13140/RG.2.2.25446.34882
    [BibTeX] [Abstract]
    The current global pandemic caused by COVID-19 has turned many people’s daily lives upside down. The scale of the crisis forced countries to take increasingly drastic measures, from initial hygiene and protection measures to a complete lockdown of public and private life. To this end, public places were closed off, large events were banned for the time being, and public offerings and activities that lead to gatherings of people were not permitted. Older adults, as a particularly vulnerable group, suffer from the physical distancing measures when they have to reduce social activities. To bridge the physical distance problem, videoconferencing and live streaming solutions have gained popularity. The poster demonstrates research activities from the BMBF-funded “Active City Innovation” research project, exploring how dance and movement in public spaces can be supported by socio-technical systems with a special focus on older citizens. As part of the requirements analysis process, interviews and participant observations have been conducted with older dancers between 65 and 95 years in Siegen. The dance group had been meeting regularly to dance together for several years. Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, they had to cancel all joint dance activities on site. With the qualitative research approach, we aim to understand the motivations of the older dancers as well as their trainers and extrapolate implications for potential technical assistance from the findings. The results indicate that dancing, especially among older adults, is not comparable to other physical activities and that personal exchange and a sense of community are the main reasons for participation at the dance class. Digital solutions such as live streaming solutions are hardly seen as an alternative to exercise and tend to be rejected, since technical systems are not associated with leisure time and, above all, cannot convey the human feeling of the joint activity. The results also show that dancing or moving in a group provides support and structure in the living environment and is seen as a movement option especially by women, while men prefer other sportive activities, such as riding a bicycle. Our results may assist researchers and developers in implementing conferencing and live streaming systems to support physical activity promotion in older adults, and most importantly, raise awareness of social participation and sense of community as key motivators for using such systems.

  • Struzek, D. & Mueller, C. (2021)Introduction of a platform for fostering social participation and engagement in rural areas

    Gemeinsame Fachtagung der DGGG: „(Neue) Lebensformen im Alter“. doi:10.13140/RG.2.2.32157.23526
    [BibTeX] [Abstract]
    Rural areas are struggling with ever greater challenges. Young people are leaving, social spaces are disappearing, and public infrastructure is poor or lacking. Various technical communication channels are already being used to provide support. This has led to information overload and a lack of trust in new technologies, especially among the older population. In order to support 6 villages in mutual communication, we used the well-known neighborhood platform “nebenan.de,” which was developed for urban areas, as part of the 3-year research project Digital Village Center (Digi.DoM), which focused on developing digitization strategies for rural areas. Older residents in particular should have a way to get help from others, post questions about technology, requests or offers for sale, and requests for rides, even across villages. Participatory approaches were used to identify requirements for the platform for rural areas. Appropriation of the platform took place in 6 technology workshops held in three villages. Although residents of all ages were welcome, only residents between the ages of 60 and 85 attended. The workshops helped us capture related needs of older users. To encourage interaction, a common group was created on the platform, accessible to all registered villagers from all villages. The meetings showed how hesitant the older users of the platform were and for the most part only surveyed the association work. In addition, the villages wished to have their own groups, to which other villages did not have access. Another problem was the lack of trust building, which was reflected in the fact that workshop participation decreased and participants were skeptical even about a list of participants. Significant, at the same time, was the village history, which was even seen as a reason for using the platform. Using the introduction process of nebenan.de as an example, the contribution reflects on a basic conflict of community technologies for the target group of older adults who have little experience with such applications. On the one hand, such community technologies only work if a sufficiently large mass of users participates (“critical mass”). On the other hand, this is countered by worries of “non-users” who are concerned with questions of security, privacy related to community processes, they are used to in their small village life. The poster shows how socially acceptable solutions were sought with the older people in negotiation processes.

In order to support 6 villages in mutual communication, we used the well-known neighborhood platform "nebenan.de," which was developed for urban areas, as part of the 3-year research project Digital Village Center (Digi.DoM), which focused on developing digitization strategies for rural areas. Older residents in particular should have a way to get help from others, post questions about technology, requests or offers for sale, and requests for rides, even across villages. Participatory approaches were used to identify requirements for the platform for rural areas. Appropriation of the platform took place in 6 technology workshops held in three villages. Although residents of all ages were welcome, only residents between the ages of 60 and 85 attended. The workshops helped us capture related needs of older users. To encourage interaction, a common group was created on the platform, accessible to all registered villagers from all villages. The meetings showed how hesitant the older users of the platform were and for the most part only surveyed the association work. In addition, the villages wished to have their own groups, to which other villages did not have access. Another problem was the lack of trust building, which was reflected in the fact that workshop participation decreased and participants were skeptical even about a list of participants. Significant, at the same time, was the village history, which was even seen as a reason for using the platform. Using the introduction process of nebenan.de as an example, the contribution reflects on a basic conflict of community technologies for the target group of older adults who have little experience with such applications. On the one hand, such community technologies only work if a sufficiently large mass of users participates ("critical mass"). On the other hand, this is countered by worries of "non-users" who are concerned with questions of security, privacy related to community processes, they are used to in their small village life. The poster shows how socially acceptable solutions were sought with the older people in negotiation processes.},
