    Dying, death, and the afterlife in human-computer interaction. A scoping review

    Dying is a universal experience that entails uncertainty, loss, and termination. Often, people face death unprepared and miss out on opportunities to shape their final stage of life as well as their afterlife. To better understand how thanato-technology can support the dying and the bereaved, we performed a scoping review on the current state-of-art in Human Computer Interaction. Following the PRISMA-ScR procedure, we gathered and analyzed 107 relevant papers. We categorized theoretical and conceptual contributions into three overarching themes: digital remains, remembrance, and coping. We further highlight 18 practices, such as curation, honoring and letting go. We show that technology can help to capture the identity of the deceased, to validate the life lived, and to come to terms with death. However, available approaches focus more on the bereaved than on the dying. In addition, potentially important aspects of dying (e.g., balancing involvement and autonomy, spiritual meaning-making) remain largely unexplored.

    Nachhaltige Motivation durch wohlbefindensorientierte Gestaltung
    In dem Projekt „Game of Roster“ (GamOR, siehe Kapitel 1) haben wir uns zum Ziel gesetzt, ein kollaboratives Schichtplanungssystem für Pflegekräfte zu entwickeln, das Mitarbeitende nachhaltig zur Beteiligung am Schichtplanungsprozess motivieren möchte. Das System sollte allen Mitarbeitenden ermöglichen, ihre Wünsche einzubringen, Planungskonflikte eigenständig aufzulösen und letztendlich ihre Schichtarbeit besser mit ihrem Lebensalltag zu vereinbaren. Die so entstehende Planungssicherheit und -autonomie soll nicht nur die Arbeitszufriedenheit, sondern auch das allgemeine Wohlbefinden der Pflegekräfte in ihrem angespannten Arbeitsfeld erhöhen. Die „nachhaltige Motivation” als zentrale Anforderung brachte daher das Gestaltungsziel eines als sinnvoll und freudvoll empfundenen Planungsprozesses mit sich.

    Positive work practices. Opportunities and challenges in designing meaningful work-related technology
    Work is a rich source of meaning. However, beyond organizational changes, most approaches in the research field of Meaningful Work neglected the power of work-related technology to increase meaning. Using two cases as examples, this paper proposes a wellbeing-driven approach to the design of work-related technology. Despite the positive results of our cases, we argue that the use of technology as a means of increasing meaning in the workplace is still in its infancy.

    Understanding and designing automation with peoples' wellbeing in mind
    Nowadays, automation not only dominates industry but becomes more and more a part of our private, everyday lives. Following the notion of increased convenience and more time for the "important things in life”, automation relieves us from many daily household chores – robots vacuum floors and automated coffeemakers produce supposedly barista-quality coffee on the press of a button. In many cases these offers are embraced by people without further questioning. Of course, automation frees us from many unloved activities, but we may also lose something by delegating more and more everyday activities to automation. In a series of four studies, we explored the experiential costs of everyday automation and strategies of how to design technology to reconcile experience with the advantages of ever more powerful automation.
