Care TVX: Challenges and design to improve TV in in-hospital environment and for visually impaired people

Abstract

The overarching goal of this workshop is to bring together practices and research in medical fields with media contents developers, designers, and UI/UX/QoE researchers, as well as hospital practitioners as ophthalmologists and psychiatrists. Discussions will relate to: ? how new visual experience and media contents can improve the in-hospital experience of in-patients, caregivers, and medical staffs; ? how better understanding of visual impairments (e.g. for elderly) can help to design more inclusive TV experience. The starting point will be the cases and experiences of Care TVX, followed by a multidisciplinary discussion on ''challenges and design considerations to adjusted or new hospital and care practices'', led by workshop participants. The outcome of the workshop will be a collection of best practices in the form of position papers and online content.
