Beyond AI Capability – Governance, Trust, and Realistic Scope in Rural Health Chatbots
In: IH '26, S. 1–7, DOI: 10.1145/3786579.3804951
Abstract Links

This work-in-progress examines how rural health professionals and end-users perceive chatbots for health service navigation. Through interviews with six professionals and thirteen end-users, we identified four critical design tensions. The groups converged on: trust requires transparency, not technical sophistication; humans are irreplaceable in sensitive situations. However, they diverged on priorities: professionals emphasized institutional integration, end-users emphasized privacy and usability. Our findings challenge conventional assumptions. Confident wrong answers destroy trust more than honest uncertainty. Humanization attempts backfire. Escalation pathways must lead somewhere real. Chatbots need contextual data but collecting it creates privacy risk. Rather than technical solutions, effective design requires acknowledging competing stakeholder needs. We propose four principles: transparent source attribution, user-controlled interaction settings, real institutional integration, and governance transparency through local embedding. We reframe rural chatbots as infrastructure, not standalone technology. They must integrate into existing institutions and trust networks to reduce burden while preserving human-centered care.

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Mit zunehmendem Einsatz digitaler Angebote in der Rehabilitation besteht der Bedarf, Therapeut*innen und Patient*innen bestmöglich auf die Nutzung vorzubereiten. Qualitätsgesicherte Schulungskonzepte können zur Steigerung der Versorgungsqualität von digitalen Angeboten beitragen. Die Studie zielte auf die Identifikation von Anforderungen an die Gestaltung und Umsetzung von Schulungsmaßnahmen in der digitalen Reha-Nachsorge ab. Methoden Im Januar 2024 wurden zwei World Cafés zu Schulungen von Patient*innen und Therapeut*innen durchgeführt. Diese fanden online mit Patient*innen, Therapeut*innen, Ärzt*innen und Hersteller*innen statt. Die strukturierende Inhaltsanalyse nach Kuckartz orientierte sich an den Dimensionen der Konzept-, Struktur-, Prozess- und Ergebnisqualität. Ergebnisse An den zwei World Cafés nahmen je 14 Personen teil. Zur Sicherung der Konzeptqualität empfahlen die Teilnehmenden neben der Wissensvermittlung zu Ablauf, Wirksamkeit und Relevanz auch die praktische Erprobung der digitalen Tools – etwa durch begleitete Trainings für Patient*innen während des Reha-Aufenthalts oder Hospitationen für Therapeut*innen. Hinsichtlich der Strukturqualität wurden qualifiziertes Schulungspersonal und eine geeignete räumliche, technische sowie finanzielle Ausstattung als notwendig erachtet. Zur Erzielung einer hohen Prozessqualität sollten den Befragten zufolge nicht nur Nachsorgebeteiligte, sondern das gesamte Klinikpersonal und alle Reha-Patient*innen aufgeklärt werden. Schulungsprozesse sollten standardisiert ablaufen – etwa durch Checklisten für das Therapeut*innen-Onboarding oder durch die obligatorische Einbindung der Nachsorgeentscheidung in das Reha-Abschlussgespräch mit Patient*innen. Adäquat ausgestaltete Schulungen können dazu beitragen, Vorurteile gegenüber den digitalen Angeboten abzubauen, die Akzeptanz zu steigern und somit eine hohe Ergebnisqualität von Schulungen zu fördern. Diskussion Die Inhaltsanalyse mündete in einen Katalog mit 14 Anforderungsbereichen entlang der vier Qualitätsdimensionen, der eine bedarfsorientierte, strukturierte Konzeption und Umsetzung künftiger Schulungen in der digitalen Reha-Nachsorge unterstützt. Background With the increasing use of digital services in rehabilitation, there is a need to prepare therapists and patients for using them in the best possible way. Quality-assured training concepts can contribute to improving the quality of care of digital services. This study aimed to identify requirements for developing and implementing training courses in telerehabilitation aftercare. Methods In January 2024, two World Cafés regarding training for patients and therapists were held. They took place online with patients, therapists, physicians, and software manufacturers. Kuckartz’s structuring content analysis was based on the dimensions of concept, structural, process, and outcome quality. Results Fourteen people participated in each of the two World Cafés. To ensure concept quality, the participants recommended not only imparting knowledge about the process, effectiveness, and relevance, but also practical testing of the digital tools – for example, through accompanied training for patients during their rehabilitation stay or work shadowing for therapists. Regarding structural quality, qualified training staff and suitable spatial, technical, and financial resources were considered necessary. To achieve high process quality, the interviewees stated that not only the persons involved in aftercare, but all clinic staff and all rehabilitation patients should be informed. Training processes should be standardized, for example, through checklists for therapist onboarding or through the mandatory inclusion of the aftercare decision in the rehabilitation discharge consultation with patients. Adequately designed training courses can help reduce prejudices against digital services, increase acceptance and thus promote a high outcome quality of training courses. Discussion The content analysis resulted in a catalog including 14 requirement areas along the four quality dimensions, which supports the needs-oriented, structured design and implementation of future training courses in telerehabilitation aftercare.

Technology Design for Community-Based Care in Rural Contexts: National Conditions and Local Practices
In: 1st EUSSET International Conference on Innovation in Rural Regions (ICIRR), DOI: 10.48340/icirr2026_30
Schlagwörter: italg
Abstract Links

This workshop examines how innovative digital technologies can improve and reshape health, care and social services in more integrative, community-oriented, and ethically grounded ways. It focuses on how these dynamics unfold across different national welfare and care regimes and in rural areas. Framing these challenges through HCI and CSCW lenses, we emphasize socio-technical systems, participatory design, and human-centred approaches. While macro-level frameworks shape institutional conditions, care is ultimately enacted through local practices shaped by social, cultural, and infrastructural contexts. These local practices are also shaped by technological infrastructures, a perspective emphasized in CHI research on socio-technical systems and participatory care design. The workshop addresses how digital tools can foster collaboration among diverse stakeholders and how participatory design and socio-technical approaches can ensure these tools are context-sensitive and inclusive. Emphasizing interdisciplinarity, the workshop brings together researchers from CSCW, HCI, sociology, social work, healthcare, public administration, and technology development. Through collaborative discussions, participants will examine how institutional conditions affect local care provision, explore strategies for par-ticipatory design, and identify generalizable and context-specific challenges in digitalizing social services. The goal is to foster theoretical and practical insights that bridge disciplinary boundaries and inform the design of equitable, sustainable, and responsive digital infrastructures for community-based care.

The Work Behind the Network: Practitioner-Led Governance Innovation in Rural Healthcare
In: 1st EUSSET International Conference on Innovation in Rural Regions (ICIRR), DOI: 10.48340/icirr2026_08
Schlagwörter: italg
Abstract Links

Rural regions face a persistent gap between the need for coordinated healthcare and the institutional conditions that would make coordination sustainable. This paper examines how practitioners in a rural-industrialized German region bridge that gap through a governance innovation: a loosely coupled inter-organizational network organized around a recurring expert forum. Through qualitative interviews with organizers (n=6) and partici-pants (n=11), we analyze the coordinative work this arrangement requires and the tensions it must navigate. We report four findings. First, network-level coordinative work consistently exceeds formal mandates, constituting extra work sustained only through individual ab-sorption. Second, we introduce the visibility-anchoring gap: coordinative work that is col-lectively recognized but institutionally unanchored, producing person-dependent networks vulnerable to departures and funding discontinuities. Third, the forum functions as primary knotworking infrastructure where ambient cross-sectoral contact cannot develop organically. Fourth, coopetition bifurcates: demand surplus dissolves client competition while dona-tion and prestige competition persist independently. For CSCW, we extend articulation work, extra work, and infrastructuring – introducing the visibility-anchoring gap as a con-cept that captures coordinative work which is collectively recognized yet institutionally unanchored. For rural innovation scholarship, we demonstrate that the informal govern-ance arrangements rural practitioners develop to manage systemic fragmentation represent a distinct mode of socio-technical innovation.

Invisible Work in Social Service Access: Barriers, Resources, and Consequences
In: Proceedings of the 23rd EUSSET Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work, DOI: 10.48340/ecscw2025_pd05
Schlagwörter: italg
Abstract Links

This contribution, based on an interview study with social service users, delves into the intricate process of accessing this system and the invisible work it necessitates beforehand. Addressing Knecht and Schubert's resource taxonomy, the study analyzes the interplay of personal and environmental resources, revealing how their cultivation and maintenance constitute 'invisible work'—a pivotal factor in achieving successful service access. Through 12 in-depth interviews, complemented by a written contribution, participants' initial pathways to social services were reconstructed. The interviews illustrate that informal resources and pathways frequently play a decisive role, alongside formal procedures. These informal routes vary considerably in the amount of invisible work they demand. To alleviate this hidden burden, I propose the exploration of digital platforms or centralized entry points as potential solutions. These innovations could streamline access, reduce the reliance on informal networks, and ultimately enhance equity in service provision.

Medicalization and Psychologization in scientific and public discourses - The perception of poverty, unemployment and childhood development
DOI: 10.25819/ubsi/10723
Abstract Links

In this dissertation, I examine processes of medicalization and psychologization in different discourses. Medicine and psychology have played a substantial role in describing social conditions, which is true in a variety of contexts. From sci- entific discourses, in which knowledge is generated and discussed to public dis- courses like mass media or political debates. A central concern of this disserta- tion is the mechanism by which such processes occur, and which actors are in- volved. For the scientific discourse, I analyzed which disciplines are leading in the international research on poverty in the Web of Science (WoS) between 1956-2017 and which changes in content are thus evident over time. In the (mass) media discourse based on different daily and weekly newspapers in Ger- many, I examined how the reporting of the last 25 years on unemployment and childhood is shaped and whether these two areas are more strongly linked to medical and psychological issues. In a further contribution, I focused on the COVID-19 pandemic. Since external influences may also cause medicalization and psychologization tendencies to emerge, I analyzed to what extent school closures in Germany have been a driver for an increased interest in mental health among children and adolescents. Here I was able to show that this was indeed the case and that, in addition to the purely epidemiological aspects of the pan- demic, threats to mental health as a side effect of the non-pharmaceutical measures became more prominent. Overall, I show that processes of medicalization and psychologization are traceable in various discourses through different actors and that external influ- ences like the COVID-19 pandemic can play a significant role.

Developing a competency model for telerehabilitation therapists and patients: Results of a cross-sectional online survey
In: PLOS Digital Health, Volume: 4 No.: 1, S. e0000710, DOI: 10.1371/journal.pdig.0000710
Schlagwörter: italg
Abstract Links

Telerehabilitation is a new form of care that provides digital access to rehabilitative services. However, it places many demands on the users–both patients and therapists. The aim of this study was to determine the requirements and competencies needed for successful usage, identify person- and context-specific differences and develop a competency model. We conducted two cross-sectional online surveys with telerehabilitation patients and therapists from Germany during June-August 2023. The adjusted dataset of 262 patients and 73 therapists was quantitatively analyzed including descriptive and bivariate statistics. Group differences were assessed using t-tests or U-tests. The development of two telerehabilitation competency models was guided by a competency modeling process. The surveys show that patients need to gather program information before program start, follow therapist’s instructions, adapt therapy, deal with health problems, as well as motivate and remind oneself during the program. Therapists need to inform and instruct patients, adapt therapy, carry out technical set-up and support, give medical support, guide and monitor patients, give feedback, motivation and reminder, as well as documentation. The competency model for patients includes 23 and the model for therapists 24 core competencies, including various required areas of knowledge, skills, attitudes and experiences. The three most relevant competencies for patients are self-interest in the program, self-awareness and self-management. Also, disease severity, age, and language abilities can enable successful execution. Program type, technology affinity, and age significantly influence the rated relevance of competencies. The three most relevant competencies for therapists are therapeutic-professional skills, medical and telerehabilitation knowledge. The type of therapy practiced and language abilities can enable successful execution. Therapist’s age, technology affinity, and job type significantly impact the rated relevance. The models should be applied to develop tailored training formats and support decisions on the selection of suitable therapists and patients for telerehabilitation.

Beyond Implementation: Exploring Older Adults Perspectives on the Electronic Patient File (ePA) in Germany
In: Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Infrastructures for Healthcare, DOI: 10.48340/ihc2025_pd011
Schlagwörter: italg
Abstract Links

The German Electronic Patient Record (elektronische Patientenakte – ePA) represents a key digital infrastructure in Germany’s evolving health system. While its technical development and institutional implementation have received considerable attention, the everyday practices and perspectives of patients remain largely invisible in current research and public discourses. This contribution presents an ongoing qualitative study that foregrounds patient expectations, concerns, and first experiences regarding the use of the ePA. Drawing on initial interviews, we explore how patients make sense of the ePA, navigate access, and articulate concerns around data control, utility, and trust. Our findings point to a gap between institutional logics and lived practices, raising critical questions about infrastructural (non-)use or user agency. While data collection is ongoing, first insights already highlight the importance of embedding patient perspectives into the design and evaluation of digital health infrastructures. We argue that infrastructuring efforts must extend beyond technical rollout to include patients as co-creators of meaningful, accessible, and trustworthy health systems.

Competency requirements for patients and therapists in telerehabilitation aftercare: a qualitative study
In: Frontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences, Volume: 6, DOI: 10.3389/fresc.2025.1640416
Schlagwörter: italg; qualitative research; rehabilitation; aftercare; focus groups; skills; telemedicine; telerehabilitation
Abstract Links

IntroductionRehabilitation aftercare serves to maintain the success of treatment following medical rehabilitation. Digital services, such as app-based training or therapist-led video calls, are increasingly being used in rehabilitation and aftercare as alternatives that are more flexible in terms of space and time. However, such systems place various demands on users. The study aims to identify the requirements and competencies needed by patients and therapists for the successful use of telerehabilitation aftercare in Germany.Materials and methodsThe study employed an explorative, qualitative approach. Focused interviews were conducted to gather user experiences with telerehabilitation aftercare. Fifteen therapists participated in three focus group interviews, while five patients took part in three individual or two-person interviews. Using an interview guideline, patients and therapists were asked about steps, preparation processes, required competencies and adaptation possibilities in relation to telerehabilitation aftercare. The evaluation was carried out using structuring content analysis according to Kuckartz and Rädiker.ResultsDepending on the program used and the professional background of the therapists, the perceived usage requirements differed, including technical handling, motivation for training and individual therapy adaptations. Both target groups considered application-, process- and impact-related knowledge, technical, social-emotional and cognitive skills, a positive attitude towards technology and technical experience as necessary. Therapists emphasized professional skills as well as experience, and patients sufficient physical skills such as motor skills. The influence of socio-demographic factors on usage was controversially discussed.ConclusionFindings suggest to focus not only on technical but also on professional and social competencies in training and further education in order to promote the competent use of telerehabilitation aftercare. If sufficient opportunities are created to get to know and try out such programs, uncertainties could be reduced and positive user experiences can be promoted. Due to the small sample size, the results cannot be generalized without restriction, and further research with a larger and more diverse sample is necessary.

Schlagwörter: italg; curriculum; education; rehabilitation; competency; aftercare; telemedicine; telerehabilitation; needs assessment
Abstract Links

IntroductionIn light of the ongoing digital transformation of healthcare, training needs analyses are essential to address the changing requirements of providing and using healthcare services. This applies in particular to the growing field of telerehabilitation. To date, a comprehensive overview of the current training landscape and potential training gaps among telerehabilitation users has been lacking. This national survey therefore aims to assess existing training opportunities and training needs of both telerehabilitation patients and therapists, taking personal and contextual differences into account.MethodsIn 2023, two cross-sectional online surveys were deployed, one with telerehabilitation patients and one with telerehabilitation therapists from Germany. Drawing on the Hennessy-Hicks approach as a guiding framework, participants were asked about the relevance and their performance level of predefined telerehabilitation competencies, to determine training needs. Furthermore, data was collected on the telerehabilitation program used, the training offers received and used, and their content. Personal and contextual differences were determined using t-tests and U-tests.ResultsThe 262 patients and 73 therapists mostly perceived their own performance in the telerehabilitation competencies as rather good. In the past, various training offers were available. Patients were mainly instructed by their therapist or doctor and therapists via written information material in preparation for telerehabilitation. However, both target groups showed small training needs. Patients predominantly required training in self-regulatory skills, such as patience, self-awareness, and motivation, while therapists needed enhanced knowledge related to telerehabilitation and technology. Partly, patients and therapists with a low technology affinity, women as well as patients using app-based telerehabilitation showed significantly higher training needs.ConclusionThe study results can contribute to the development of a telerehabilitation curriculum for therapists and the design of needs-oriented trainings for patients. The implementation of a standardized training practice can support the competent and consistent use of telerehabilitation and contribute to improving the quality of care in the future. Further research is needed to determine which training formats and modalities are effective for the different types of competencies that are lacking.

Schlagwörter: italg
Abstract Links

Background Telerehabilitation offers patients alternative access to therapy and has become more prominent during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the increasing attractiveness of such programs, there are research gaps regarding the required competencies in the demand-oriented technology use in rehabilitative care. Objective The study aims at collecting evidence on competencies required by patients and health professionals for using telerehabilitation. We analyse tasks and requirements associated with telerehabilitation and derive and systematise relevant competencies. Methods We conducted a scoping review and analysed MEDLINE, Psyndex, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science for empirical studies and grey literature from 2017 to May 2022. Articles had to be in English/German and refer to medical rehabilitation accompanied by health professionals taking place in the patient's home. Results One hundred ten articles were included, covering video conferencing systems, applications with video, audio, or visual therapy content, or wearables. Depending on the program, tasks before, during, and after therapy sessions differ, as do whether these are performed by health professionals, patients, or the technology. Users need digital, health-related, social, personal, and health professionals also professional competencies. This comprises telerehabilitation, technical, health-related, and clinical knowledge, a range of physical, cognitive, social-interactive, technical, and clinical skills, a positive attitude towards telerehabilitation and experience. Whether sociodemographic factors promote successful use is unclear. Conclusions Telerehabilitation requires a variety of different competencies from patients and health professionals — going beyond the sphere of technical skills. This highlights the need for an evaluation of existing programs for promoting competencies in the use of telerehabilitation and refinement of the programs in line with demands.

News Coverage of Mental Health in Children During the COVID-19 Pandemic – An Analysis of the German Press Landscape
In: Zeitschrift für Sozialreform, Volume: 69 No.: 2, S. 119-142, DOI: 10.1515/zsr-2022-0103
Schlagwörter: italg; COVID-19; Children; Lockdown; Mental Health; Newspaper; SARS-CoV-2
Abstract Links

The COVID-19 pandemic led to fundamental changes in all aspects of public life. Non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs) have had a significant impact on children given their early developmental stage and the smaller number of coping strategies and resources they possess to counter such stressors. Since the discourse on the effectiveness and side effects of interventions plays an important role in legitimising these interventions, the present article seeks to determine both who talks about children’s mental health in the news media and which aspects are addressed. The results of a quantitative discourse analysis of three German daily and weekly newspapers during the first two lockdowns in Germany reveal that political actors speak most often in the discourse, though health professionals are playing an increasingly prominent role. Thematically, mental health among children is becoming significantly more important in the discourse, which will likely lead to future political action.

Lieber krank und arbeitslos als „nur“ arbeitslos? Die Auswirkungen der Medikalisierung von arbeitslosen Personen auf Stigmatisierungsprozesse
In: Zeitschrift für Sozialreform, Volume: 64 No.: 4, S. 431-461, DOI: 10.1515/zsr-2018-0022
Schlagwörter: italg
Abstract Links

Die Integration von (langzeit-)arbeitslosen Personen ist eine zentrale Herausforderung für Arbeitsmarkt- und Sozialpolitik. Aktivierung und die damit verknüpfte Konditionalität von Sozialleistungen haben bedeutende Implikationen für die Wahrnehmung von arbeitslosen Personen, die immer häufiger Stigmatisierungen erleben. Gesundheitliche Einschränkungen oder Behinderungen, die als einziger Grund für die Anerkennung einer (befristet) eingeschränkten Beschäftigungsfähigkeit gelten und eine Verknüpfung von Sozialleistungsbezug und Freistellung von der verpflichtenden Arbeitsaufnahme ermöglichen, erhalten damit eine neue Bedeutung. Dieser Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, ob die Medikalisierung der Arbeitslosigkeit Stigmatisierung verringert. Wir untersuchen daher mit Daten des Panels „Arbeitsmarkt und soziale Sicherung“ (PASS) den Einfluss der Freistellung auf die wahrgenommene Stigmatisierung. Entropie-balancierte, multivariate OLS-Regressionen zeigen kein signifikant vermindertes Stigma für freigestellte Personen.
