Dijk, Betsy van, Dadlani, Pavan, Halteren, Aart van and Biemans, Margit (2010): Life changes, connection stays: photo sharing and social connectedness for people with special needs. In: Proceedings of the 2010 Annual European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics 2010. pp. 135-142.

“We study the effects of digital photo sharing on social connectedness of people with special needs. We target people dealing with a transition in life that forced them to live away from their family and friends. Our study included four people with spinal-cord injury staying in a rehabilitation centre and eight elderly people staying in a nursing home. Each participant was provided with a web-enabled digital photo frame and their family members were provided with a camera phone. The results of our study show positive effects. For rehabilitants photo sharing simplified the way they could reconnect to their family. For the elderly people, photo sharing served as 'food for talk'.”

Biemans, Margit, Dijk, Betsy van, Dadlani, Pavan and Halteren, Aart van (2009): Let's stay in touch: sharing photos for restoring social connectedness between rehabilitants, friends and family. In: Eleventh Annual ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Assistive Technologies 2009. pp. 179-186.

“A case study on the use of an existing photo sharing application in a spinal cord lesion rehabilitation centre is presented. The study focuses on enhancing social connectedness through sharing photos between rehabilitants and their families and friends. Four rehabilitants participated in this study for 6-7 weeks. Most photos sent related to sharing things in everyday life and keeping the rehabilitant informed about regular events. The combination of interviews and content analysis reveals that only a minority of the photos lead to follow-up communication about the contents of the photos. Rehabilitants were positively surprised how spontaneous photo sharing simplified the way they could reconnect to their friends and family, without the immediate need or obligation to engage in a (phone) conversation.”

Biemans, Margit, Swaak, Janine, Hettinga, Marike and Schuurman, Jan Gerrit (2005): Involvement matters: the proper involvement of users and behavioural theories in the design of a medical teleconferencing application. In: GROUP05: International Conference on Supporting Group Work November 6-9, 2005, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA. pp. 304-312.

“WoundLog is a mobile application that enables district nurses to consult dermatologists, while being in the home situation of the patient. Next to communication tools for teleconferencing and multimedia messaging, it also provides a wound logbook service, and presence, location and availability information of various healthcare professionals. In this paper, we describe the applied user-centred design approach, and a conducted user experiment. The results of the experiment reveal that even district nurses with modest (or no) computing experiences can work adequately with WoundLog. Moreover, they expect that using WoundLog will increase the quality and efficiency of wound care.”
