The project Caring Robots // Robotic Care is a transdisciplinary project on participatory design with care stakeholders in Vienna, Austria.

For one project, I organized a series of participatory design workshops for care stakeholders, specifically care workers and care home residents. I developed and ran this workshop series together with colleagues with expertise in sociology, participatory design and Human-Computer Interaction, and engineering.

Based on this project, we identified Documentation Support as a potential technology that could meet needs of care workers in this context. We then developed a prototype for care documentation from speech using Large Language Models.

Doing research and developing technologies in the care context requires careful consideration of ethical aspects, including privacy.
