    IT-supported Knowledge Repositories: Increasing their Usefulness by Supporting Knowledge Capture2008Doktorsavhandling, monografi (Övrigt vetenskapligt)
    Abstract [en]

    Organizations use various resources to achieve business objectives, and for financial gain. In modern business, knowledge is a critical resource, and organizations cannot afford not to manage it. Knowledge Management (KM) aims to support learning and to create value for the organization. Based on three levels of inquiry (why, what, how), work presented in this thesis includes a synthesized view of the existing body of knowledge concerning KM and hence a holistic characterization of KM. This characterization reveals a strong dependency between KM and Learning Organization (LO). Neither of them can be successful without the other. We show that a KM project resulting in an IT-supported knowledge repository is a suitable way to start when the intention is to initiate KM work. Thus, our research focuses on ITsupported knowledge repositories.

    Large numbers of KM projects fail, and organizations lack support for their KM undertakings. These are the main problems that our research addresses. In order for an IT-supported knowledge repository to be successful, it must be used. Thus, the content of the repository is critical for success. Our work reveals that the process of capturing new knowledge is critical if the knowledge repository is to include relevant and updated knowledge. With the purpose of supporting the capture process, this thesis provides a detailed characterization of the capture process as well as guidance aiming to facilitate the implementation of the capture process in such a way that knowledge is continuously captured, also after the KM implementation project is completed. We argue that the continuous capture of new knowledge which can potentially be stored in the knowledge repository will, in the long term perspective, have a positive influence on the usefulness of the repository. This will most likely increase the number of users of the repository and accordingly increase the number of successful KM projects.

    All the work presented in this thesis is the result of a qualitative research process comprising a literature review and an empirical study that were carried out in parallel. The empirical study is a case study inspired by action research, which involved participation in the project Efficient Knowledge Management and Learning in Knowledge Intensive Organizations (EKLär).

    How to Successfully Apply Critical Success Factors in Healthcare Information Systems Development?: A Story from the Field2012Ingår i: Proceedings of the 20th European Conference on Information Systems, Barcelona, Spain 2012, Association for Information Systems, 2012, artikel-id Paper 220Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Many studies have focused on retrospectively identifying critical success factors (CSFs) for healthcare information system (HIS) development projects. In this paper the central question is how in advance selected CSFs can be applied in the best way. An action research study has been carried out in a large Swedish healthcare organization during 2010 and 2011 where the application of four CSFs has been planned, documented and reflected upon. Challenges are identified that may arise when tailoring general CSFs to situational circumstances. For example, the self-evident CSF of ?having a clear and accepted objective? becomes tricky and complex in practice when facing 15 autonomous boards that all need to support the project. Similar insights are gained for other CSFs. More research is needed to illuminate the complexities of how to apply CSFs. Another important observation is that different CSFs strengthen one another, which implies that they should be applied and analysed in concert rather than isolated. Finally, healthcare practitioners need to be aware that CSFs are very helpful, but that tailoring general CSFs to the unique situation of the HIS development project requires much effort and continuous reflection from a holistic perspective embedded in systems thinking.

    How to Apply and Manage Critical Success Factors in Healthcare Information Systems Development?2023Ingår i: Systems, E-ISSN 2079-8954, Vol. 11, nr 9, artikel-id 469Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Studies on Critical Success Factors (CSFs) in Healthcare Information Systems (HIS) development projects have traditionally often been limited to retrospectively identifying CSFs in a finished project. In this paper, we focus on how to prospectively apply and manage CSFs in HIS projects. Based on a holistic perspective and systems thinking, an inductive research strategy was applied and a single in-depth case study was conducted. The findings include detailed descriptions that contribute to further understanding of how to prospectively apply and manage CSFs in HIS projects. The analysis reveals that CSFs must be applied differently and managed on various system levels. Furthermore, it shows how interactions exist between different system levels, both in the case of a specific CSF and between different CSFs on various system levels. Our analysis framework and findings indicate new directions for future research: how to prospectively apply and manage CSFs in HIS development projects can now be investigated both in a more holistic way and more in detail. Finally, healthcare practitioners can use the descriptions as practical checklists for guiding them in how to realize situational adaptation of CSFs in HIS projects across different system levels.

    Finding potential problems in the thesis process in higher education: Analysis of e-mails to develop a support system2015Ingår i: Education and Information Technologies: Official Journal of the IFIP technical committee on Education, ISSN 1360-2357, E-ISSN 1573-7608, Vol. 20, nr 1, s. 21-36Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Autonomous learning hype has created much speculation in educational systems regarding how to develop the learning process. Final project (thesis) in Bachelor’s and Master’s levels is a significant part of study for students in higher education. However, there are some problems, which lead students not managing to do or finish their thesis. As a part of a solution to these problems, the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences (DSV) at Stockholm University, Sweden, has established an information and communication platform, called SciPro. The system was initiated in 2011 to support students and supervisors during the thesis process courses. This study contributes by exploring problems that learners have faced during the final project courses and analyzing discussed issues in the emails, sent to the SciPro support group, ThesisSupport. A random sample of one hundred emails has been analyzed with the help of a content analysis tool, in order to develop the categories, which cover the discussed issues. The result of the study shows six exhaustive and mutually exclusive categories of problems: 1) Thesis initiation (26 %), 2) Info-mail (4.7 %), 3) Technical issues (17.1 %), 4) Exemption (18.7 %), 5) Supervision (17.1 %), 6) Final seminar (16.4 %). Consequently, based on the significance of the categories, two groups of strategic suggestions are developed: 1) developing communications and 2) developing instructions. These strategies intend to enhance support for the autonomous learning process for the thesis courses in higher education.

    Learners’ Perceptions on the Structure and Usefulness of e-Resources for the Thesis Courses2014Ingår i: European Journal of Open, Distance and E-Learning, E-ISSN 1027-5207, Vol. 17, nr 1, s. 154-171Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Nowadays, utility of information and communication technology (ICT) in education is a way to facilitate interaction and accessing information for learning in higher education. However, finding a set of structured e-resources to facilitate learning within specific courses is still a big challenge in most of the institutions and universities. This includes the problems and challenges for the thesis courses in both undergraduate (Bachelor) and graduate (Master) level in Sweden. To overcome or reduce the problems and enhance quality of outcomes in the thesis courses, the department of Computer and Systems Sciences (DSV) at Stockholm University has developed a Learning Support System, SciPro (Scientific Process), to support thesis process. This study aims at investigating learners’ perspectives on usefulness of structured e-resources in order to reduce challenges for finding information related to the thesis steps in SciPro. This is done based on an open online survey, carried out in 2012-2013 of students’ perspectives at DSV. The study found the actual problems and hence suggested a model as a way forward to sort the useful e-resources to support reducing the problems in the thesis process.

    Interaction Gaps in PhD Education and ICT as a Way Forward: Results from a Study in Sweden2016Ingår i: International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, E-ISSN 1492-3831, Vol. 17, nr 3, s. 360-383Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Many research studies have highlighted the low completion rate and slow progress in PhD education. Universities strive to improve throughput and quality in their PhD education programs. In this study, the perceived problems of PhD education are investigated from PhD students' points of view, and how an Information and Communication Technology Support System (ICTSS) may alleviate these problems. Data were collected through an online open questionnaire sent to the PhD students at the Department of (the institution's name has been removed during the double-blind review) with a 59% response rate. The results revealed a number of problems in the PhD education and highlighted how online technology can support PhD education and facilitate interaction and communication, affect the PhD students' satisfaction, and have positive impacts on PhD students' stress. A system was prototyped, in order to facilitate different types of online interaction through accessing a set of online and structured resources and specific communication channels. Although the number of informants was not large, the result of the study provided some rudimentary ideas that refer to interaction problems and how an online ICTSS may facilitate PhD education by providing distance and collaborative learning, and PhD students' self-managed communication.

    Communication and Collaboration Gaps among PhD Students and ICT as a Way Forward: Results from a Study in Sweden2015Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    The low completion rate and slow progress in PhD education have been highlighted in many studies. However, the interaction problems and communication gaps that PhD students encounter make this attempt even more challenging. The aim of this study is to investigate the peer interaction problems and ICT based solutions from PhD students’ perspectives. The data collection method was an online questionnaire and in-depth interviews were used to follow up. The target group for the survey was the PhD students in Computer Science at Stockholm University. The total number of respondents for the survey was 53 PhD students and eleven randomly selected PhD students for the interviews. The results reflected a lack of peer interaction as an important issue in the perspective of the students. Based on this, the study showed several ICT solutions that have the potential to reduce the interaction problems and thereby improve PhD students’ collaborative learning and research quality.

    Students’ Perspectives on Utility of Mobile Applications in Higher Education2013Ingår i: Trends in Mobile Web Information Systems: Revised Selected Papers / [ed] Maristella Matera, Gustavo Rossi, Springer, 2013, s. 44-56Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in pedagogy and learning in higher education supports the concept of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL). Mobile devices and applications with educational purposes are part of using online ICT and facilitate autonomous learning in education. Using mobile applications for education has significantly improved in the last few years. However, there is still a gap, in which this concept is still not widely known and frequently experienced by learners. As a part of supporting TEL in higher education and filling this gap, the department of Computer and System Sciences at Stockholm University in Sweden is planning to develop a mobile application for the SciPro system. SciPro is the computer-mediated communication platform to support enhancement of thesis quality and facilitate autonomous learning in higher education, at both Bachelor and Master levels. This study aims to investigate and evaluate learners’ perspectives about utility of mobile applications in higher education and specifically to support SciPro functionalities. Almost 95% of the respondents use mobile applications for higher education and believe in the utility of mobile applications for supporting learning in higher education. This is while there are a few respondents (less than 5%), who do not fully share this opinion. More than 70% of the respondents think that a SciPro mobile application will add value to their thesis process. Even though it may not directly affect the speed and quality of the thesis, it will increase mobility, availability, and flexibility of accessing information and resources in SciPro.

    Establishing a Health CASCADE-Curated Open-Access Database to Consolidate Knowledge About Co-Creation: Novel Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Methodology Based on Systematic Reviews2023Ingår i: Journal of Medical Internet Research, E-ISSN 1438-8871, Vol. 25, artikel-id e45059Artikel, forskningsöversikt (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    BACKGROUND: Co-creation is an approach that aims to democratize research and bridge the gap between research and practice, but the potential fragmentation of knowledge about co-creation has hindered progress. A comprehensive database of published literature from multidisciplinary sources can address this fragmentation through the integration of diverse perspectives, identification and dissemination of best practices, and increase clarity about co-creation. However, two considerable challenges exist. First, there is uncertainty about co-creation terminology, making it difficult to identify relevant literature. Second, the exponential growth of scientific publications has led to an overwhelming amount of literature that surpasses the human capacity for a comprehensive review. These challenges hinder progress in co-creation research and underscore the need for a novel methodology to consolidate and investigate the literature.

    OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to synthesize knowledge about co-creation across various fields through the development and application of an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted selection process. The ultimate goal of this database was to provide stakeholders interested in co-creation with relevant literature.

    METHODS: We created a novel methodology for establishing a curated database. To accommodate the variation in terminology, we used a broad definition of co-creation that encompassed the essence of existing definitions. To filter out irrelevant information, an AI-assisted selection process was used. In addition, we conducted bibliometric analyses and quality control procedures to assess content and accuracy. Overall, this approach allowed us to develop a robust and reliable database that serves as a valuable resource for stakeholders interested in co-creation.

    RESULTS: The final version of the database included 13,501 papers, which are indexed in Zenodo and accessible in an open-access downloadable format. The quality assessment revealed that 20.3% (140/688) of the database likely contained irrelevant material, whereas the methodology captured 91% (58/64) of the relevant literature. Participatory and variations of the term co-creation were the most frequent terms in the title and abstracts of included literature. The predominant source journals included health sciences, sustainability, environmental sciences, medical research, and health services research.

    CONCLUSIONS: This study produced a high-quality, open-access database about co-creation. The study demonstrates that it is possible to perform a systematic review selection process on a fragmented concept using human-AI collaboration. Our unified concept of co-creation includes the co-approaches (co-creation, co-design, and co-production), forms of participatory research, and user involvement. Our analysis of authorship, citations, and source landscape highlights the potential lack of collaboration among co-creation researchers and underscores the need for future investigation into the different research methodologies. The database provides a resource for relevant literature and can support rapid literature reviews about co-creation. It also offers clarity about the current co-creation landscape and helps to address barriers that researchers may face when seeking evidence about co-creation.

    Abstract [en]

    In this short paper we describe the implementation of an IoT test-bed in an elementary school. We argue that by adding additional IoT senors to an existing IoT system it is possible to evolve an indoor climate control system into a indoor milieu control system aimed at improving the health and well-being for both pupils and staff who spend their days working in the school environment. Lastly, we call for multidisciplinary action as the domain IoT for health and well-being spans across several different knowledge domains.

    Benefits of Digital Technical Information2020Doktorsavhandling, monografi (Övrigt vetenskapligt)
    Abstract [sv]

    Digital Teknikinformation (DTI) används ofta i arbetslivet och beskrivs som information som produceras för att stödja en produkt i dess livscykelfaser, utveckling, produktion, underhåll och destruktion. Tillverkande organisationer fokuserar oftare på produkten än på DTI och dess roll är nästan osynlig, trots sin avgörande roll för produkten i dess livscykelfaser. Därför är syftet med denna avhandling att beskriva nyttan med DTI. Forskningsfrågorna är: "Vilka är nyttorna med DTI?" och "Vad är uppfattningarna om hur nyttorna av DTI kan mätas?” Avhandlingen innehåller fem studier relaterade till att identifiera och mäta DTI:s nyttor. Det empiriska materialet är baserat på semistrukturerade individuella- och grupp-intervjuer hos fem tillverkande organisationer och en enkätundersökning bland tillverkande organisationer i Sverige.

    Resultaten visar att DTI skapar nyttor inom respektive organisation. Nyttorna har analyserats i förhållande till tre av DTI:s egenskaper och två välkända nyttokategorier. De flesta av nyttorna anses uppstå i produktens livscykelfas där DTI publiceras, samt ett antal nyttor i andra av produktens livscykelfaser. I förhållande till produkten utvecklas nyttorna från att stödja en enskild produkt till produktlinjer eller organisationens alla produkter. DTI:s struktur supportar aggregerad och återanvänd DTI, vilket t.ex. ger upphov till nyttor baserat på statistik. Av nyttokategorierna fördefinierade och framväxande nyttor ses de fördefinierade används för att nå strategiska mål.

    De framväxande nyttorna var fler till antalet och stödjer organisationens operativa mål. Beslutsfattare har användning för mätningar av DTI:s nyttor, speciellt för kommunikation och jämförelse av, bl.a., DTI:s utveckling. Studierna visar att gemensamma tolkningar är viktigt vid mätningar, t ex av vad som betraktas som nytta. De identifierade nyttorna betraktas ofta som omätbara av respondenterna, vilket medför svårigheter när det kommer till att genomföra mätningar. Den föreslagna mätmetoden blir därför att mäta de nyttor som skapar effektivitet, t ex när DTI kan minska mänskligt arbete.

    Avhandlingen bidrar till akademin genom att synliggöra detaljer om DTI:s nyttor via den gjorda analysen. Dessa detaljer visas genom relationen mellan DTI och dess nyttor. Avhandlingens praktiska bidrag är underlag till utvärdering av DTI:s nyttor, vilket kan användas för styrning och vidareutveckling av DTI. Ett förslag på framtida forskning är att använda de analyserade nyttorna för jämförelse vid olika ansatser till digitalisering, t ex Industri 4.0. Ett annat förslag är att undersöka detaljer i mätmetoder av DTI:s xviii nyttor och dess användbarhet. Detta förslag kan ge ytterligare underlag för mätning av de så kallade omätbara nyttorna.

    Design and test of a measurement method for the benefits of technical information2018Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Various measurement methods can be included in a benefit model in order to derive outputs from the benefits of a resource. In this study, the resource is technical information (TI). TI is a resource that some view as having a low status, which affects both the resource and the staff working with it by negatively influencing the work role and the management of the information. The purpose of this study is to design and test a measurement method with TI as the resource. Based on a gen-eral design for measurement methods, there are three steps in this meth-od: the input, the rule and the output. The input consists of interviews; the rule is based on the categorization of the efficient boundary object; and the output is a summation of the categorization. This study is based on a case study at a US technology company in the Midwest with re-spondents on middle management level. The key findings are that the measurement method is useful, but not without flaws. Individual and group interviews used for input lead to a rich wealth of empirical data on the benefits of TI and categorizations of those benefits. However, the method is rather time-consuming. The design requires the researcher to perform several interviews, transcriptions, and analyses. The test implied a discussion on linguistics, both for the input and the rule. The study’s serves to fill a knowledge gap of the benefits of TI in the field of Infor-mation Management, and thereby increase the status of TI.

    Measuring the Immeasurable?  The Intangible Benefits of Digital Information2019Ingår i: Proceedings of the 52nd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences  2019, Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences , 2019, s. 6176-6185Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    The benefits of digital information are mostly viewed as intangible, meaning that they can be hard to measure. This lack of measurements makes the benefits difficult to compare and communicate, creating problems for e.g. decision-making and the strategic development of specific digital information. Therefore, I conducted a literature review to find out how the combination of intangible benefits and measurements are dealt with in the information systems field. I found that we measure the intangible benefits of information systems or information technology. Here, the measurement method is divided into input, rule, and output. The input consists of predetermined individual benefits, areas of predetermined benefits, or interpreted benefits from respondents. The rule follows an accepted theory or contextual adjusted rules, and the output (benefit) can be seen as either financial or non-financial. The avenue for further research focuses on the digital information as the primary resource, not information systems or information technology.

    Determining Testbed Requirements for Technology Enhanced Speech Rehabilitation after Stroke -the Informed Co-workers' View Point2019Ingår i: GLOBAL HEALTH 2019: The Eighth International Conference on Global Health Challenges / [ed] Hassan Khachfe, International Academy, Research and Industry Association (IARIA), 2019, s. 20-27Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper analyses and discusses the identified requirements for technology enhanced systems for speech rehabilitation after a stroke. To stroke patients, a speech injury can be devastating, impacting their abilities to speak, listen, read, and write. Therefore, speech therapy is recommended as early as possible. To address the challenge with a growing percentage of older adults, therapy should include a variety of Technology Enhanced Systems (TES) to support the idea of independent living. These systems must be adapted to the patients' needs and speech therapy requirements. Based on a design science approach, requirements were determined from an analysis of ten semi-structured interviews with knowledgeable informants. Findings indicate several important requirements, such as: TES should be motivating, joyful, individualised and built on patients' needs and on speech therapists' professional knowledge. Furthermore, TES services must be user-friendly and provide training in each patient's mother tongue. Added to these requirements are ease of including close relatives as supporting persons, as well as accessibility through portable devices.

    Why Should You Believe in Open Data? – A Document Study Examining PersuasionRhetoric of OGD Benefits2022Ingår i: EGOV 2022: Electronic Government / [ed] Marijn Janssen, Csaba Csáki, Ida Lindgren, Euripidis Loukis, Ulf Melin, Gabriela Viale Pereira, Manuel Pedro Rodríguez Bolívar, Efthimios Tambouris, Springer, 2022, s. 274-287Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    The rhetoric of Open Government Data (OGD) concerningits benefits seems to lack anchor in practice affecting practitioners andempirical evidence restraining academia. This rhetoric could be hard tosee for those already persuaded. As such, the rhetoric could contain in-consistencies that are based more on myths than facts, contributing tothe slow pace of OGD development. OGD is sometimes based on dog-matic rhetoric that is overly simplistic, which hides significant benefitsand blocks potential audiences from seeing the practical applications ofOGD. The purpose of the present study was to analyse the persuasive-ness of present OGD arguments from a rhetorical perspective to identifyrhetorical patterns. We conducted desktop research, investigating therhetoric of eight websites emphasising OGD benefits. Our findings in-clude four common patterns of the rhetoric involving persuasion anddissuasion. The rhetoric contains paradoxes of promises and discover-ies, which we categorised as the grand quest, promised opportunities,tribal solidarity, and the silver bullet patterns. A further finding was twomythical paradoxes: (1) promises versus discovery and (2) proving whilearguing.

    Redesign and Evaluation of a Technology Enhanced Learning Environment for Thesis Supervision2017Ingår i: ICERI2017 PROCEEDINGS, The International Academy of Technology, Education and Development, 2017, Vol. 10, s. 636-643Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Thesis supervision is an important activity in higher education with Bachelor’s and Master’s theses mandatory parts of university programmes. In traditional education, thesis supervision has been a face-to-face activity, but today, both the student groups and the learning environments are blended. This study describes and discusses the design and implementation of a blended learning environment for a student group at Mid Sweden University.  The research question that the study aims to answer is:  Which are the important factors in the design of a course for undergraduate students, to facilitate supervision of thesis projects in a technology enhanced environment?  This study employed a Design science research strategy with three phases for design, implementation and evaluation of a blended learning environment during thesis supervision. For the first phase, design requirements were specified based on document studies and a literature review. In the second phase (first part), the created design requirements were implemented as an instance in the Moodle virtual learning environment. Second phase (second part), the implemented instance was used as the online part of a blended learning course for students writing their Bachelor’s thesis. In the third phase an evaluation was carried out with an online questionnaire were students gave their opinions on course design and teaching and learning sessions. Findings show that the learning outcomes were good and that the course aim and the learning objectives were clearly stated. Found important factors for a successful supervision were peer collaboration, multimodality, and technology enhanced interaction.  Remaining challenges are to improve course content and to motivate students for research in the field of Informatics. Most surprising positive finding was that peer situation occurred informally, which deepen their knowledge for thesis writing and presentation.

    The communication of the intangible benefits to different stakeholders is important at the development for organizational resource and could be described as a boundary-spanning activity. In this study we build on Ahlin’s model (2014) and illustrates categorization of intangible benefits of digital information by using Carlile’s (2002; 2004) efficient boundary objects, the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic. Qualitative empirical pictures from three cases are illustrated by questions, derived from the efficient boundary objects. The illustrations show that this is an accessible path forward and that the illustrations can be changed to further research with the goal for practical test the communication model.The communication of the intangible benefits to different stakeholders is important at the development for organizational resource and could be described as a boundary-spanning activity.

    Öppen Innovation, den digitala vägen: Den digitala vägen2021Rapport (Övrigt vetenskapligt)
    Abstract [sv]

    Syftet med denna rapport är att belysa digital teknologis påverkan på innovationsarenor. Vi har inom ramen för Interreg-projekt SMICE deltagit i arbetet med skapa innovationsarenor och då använt oss av digital teknologi. Den digitala teknologiin har använts för att främja deltagandet på innovationsarenor genom att erbjuda personer som har långt till dessa eller har andra förhinder från att kunna delta fysiskt. Vi undersökte detta genom fyra olika fall där den digitala teknologin användes på olika sätt för att säkerställa deltagande på distans och genom att verifiera våra resultat med experter inom området. Våra resultat analyserades baserat på tidigare kunskap inom öppen innovation samt distanslärande och resultatet visar att digital teknologi är en resurs att räkna med när det gäller att skapa innovationsarenor. Resultaten visar också att det finns utmaningar med att använda digital teknologi såsom: identifiera digital teknologi som kan stödja processerna, lära sig använda teknologin, inkorporera teknologin i processerna och att stödja andra aktörers teknologianvändning.Vi ser fram emot att digital teknologi används mer vid skapande av innovationsarenor och att forskningen fördjupas för att det blir ett sömlöst deltagande för alla deltagare.

    A semiotic perspective on semantics interoperability2012Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    While information technology enables us to access more material than ever before, we need to come to grips with the disagreeable fact that data is not information. Sharing data without safeguarding comprehension may lead to confusion at best and disaster at worst. The issue at hand is one of ensuring semantic interoperability between actors from disparate contexts. Research into this problem is plentiful, but typically focused around specific subject matters, limiting its appeal to a limited range of scholars and practitioners. Based upon a literary study, we identify two extreme approaches to managing semantic interoperability. These are denoted top-down and bottom-up. We illustrate real world instances of these approaches using the TFI-model based on a case study encompassing two organizations. Our theoretical model is found to be a viable lens through which to generalize and interpret issues pertaining to semantic interoperability between human actors. We therefore see a need for further research into human-based on semantic interoperability.

    Abstract [en]

    This position paper argues for further research within person-centered healthcare using digitization and systematic process within the fields of information systems and quality management. The included state of art shows the existence of both digital applications and innovation, whereas there is lack of knowledge on how to engage users, especially when it comes to older citizens. Besides the digital application, we should focus on developing related systematic processes to increase both organizational value and patient value.          Understanding user-design and development are necessary prerequisites to engage in digitalization and is also key to transformation in health care.

    A Transition Towards Digital Home Visits in Social Care and Home Health Care During the Corona Pandemic2021Ingår i: GLOBAL HEALTH 2021, The Tenth International Conference on Global Health Challenges, 2021Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    During the pandemic, physical meetings were supposed to decrease as much as possible to avoid the virus to spread. Before the pandemic, the physical meeting favoured social care and home health care in Sweden. One solution was to digitize as many of these meetings as possible. Therefore, we investigated this transition in a web survey, including questions with predetermined and open-ended answers. The web-survey was sent to co-workers in home health care and social care in a middle-seized municipality in Sweden. The results showed that not all meetings could be transformed, like meetings with citizens with hearing or cognitive impairments. Challenges related to the transformation were instability in technical equipment, the professionals’ and citizens’ knowledge of handling technical equipment, and access to technical equipment support. Despite this did the co-workers digitize meetings whenever possible, adding operational and problem-solving attitude to the transformation. Due to this study’s limitation, like respondents from one municipality and the pandemic’s length, we intend to investigate further and understand the development of the transformation and how knowledge in the area increases.

    Using text prediction for facilitating input and improving readability of clinical text2013Ingår i: MedInfo 2013: Proceedings of the 14th World Congress on Medical and Health Informatics / [ed] Christoph Ulrich Lehmann, Elske Ammenwerth, Christian Nøhr, IOS Press, 2013, s. 1149-1149Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Text prediction has the potential for facilitating and speeding up the documentation work within health care, making it possible for health personnel to allocate less time to documentation and more time to patient care. It also offers a way to produce clinical text with fewer misspellings and abbreviations, increasing readability. We have explored how text prediction can be used for input of clinical text, and how the specific challenges of text prediction in this domain can be addressed. A text prediction prototype was constructed using data from a medical journal and from medical terminologies. This prototype achieved keystroke savings of 26% when evaluated on texts mimicking authentic clinical text. The results are encouraging, indicating that there are feasible methods for text prediction in the clinical domain.

    Medical vocabulary mining using distributional semantics on Japanese patient blogs2014Ingår i: SMBM 2014 - Proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Semantic Mining in Biomedicine, University of Aveiro , 2014, s. 57-62Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Random indexing has previously been successfully used for medical vocabulary expansion for Germanic languages. In this study, we used this approach to extract medical terms from a Japanese patient blog corpus. The corpus was segmented into semantic units by a semantic role labeller, and different pre-processing and parameter settings were then evaluated. The evaluation showed that similar settings are suitable for Japanese as for previously explored Germanic languages, and that distributional semantics is equally useful for semi-automatic expansion of Japanese medical vocabularies as for medical vocabularies in Germanic languages.

    Technology Acceptance of an Online Speech and Language Assessment Application for Stroke Patients - the Medical Caregivers’ Viewpoints2021Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Stroke is a globally increasing disease and speech and language deficiencies are common in stroke survivors. To facilitate medical caregivers in their professional work and to improve patients’ quality of life, technology can play an important role.  However, the use and acceptance of technology are uncertain and more research is needed in this direction. This study evaluates the technology acceptance and adoption of an online speech and language assessment application. The evaluation focused Design Science Research strategy was adopted for that purpose. Two physiotherapists, one occupational therapist and three speech therapists participated in the study. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) was used as the theoretical base for interview questions formation and data analysis. The study findings show that the suggested application is useful and easy to use; however, it should be more synchronised with speech therapists’ daily work routines. The speech therapists stressed that functionalities of the application should be designed in close collaboration with them, and it should be compatible with the already existing systems and services in place.  Due to the impairments after stroke, the patients have some specific preferences for software and hardware such as a tablet with touch pen is the preferred hardware. Additionally, the interface should have bigger text fonts and pictures, and highly contrastive colours in the graphics should be used for patients’ convenience. The user’s privacy and security, patient’s current health, and their previous knowledge and experience about technology were also found important determinants for intention to use the given technology.

    The Technology-Enhanced Requirements for the Three-Fold Stroke Rehabilitation to Support Independent Living2020Ingår i: Information and Communication Technologies for Ageing Well and e-Health: ICT4AWE 2019I / [ed] Martina Ziefle, Leszek A. Maciaszek, Springer, 2020, s. 142-159Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Stroke is a common and severe disease that can be found in all regions across the globe, and not onlyamong older adults. Result of a stroke can be death, or a variety of disabilities caused by impairments indifferent brain functions. This chapter discusses technology enhanced stroke rehabilitation from a threefoldview of cognitive, motoric and speech rehabilitation. The important research question was: Whatwould be the requirements for technology-enhanced stroke rehabilitation in the areas of cognitive, motoricand speech rehabilitation? The study was carried out with a requirement-focused Design Science approachcollecting data with semi-structured interviews. Informants were selected in a purposive sampling choosingprofessionals with valuable knowledge and skills in stroke rehabilitation. The findings in this study havegenerated useful general requirements for a future implementation and testing of technology enhancedstroke rehabilitation. Within each of the three rehabilitation categories cognitive, motoric and speech, thereseems to be potential for successful use of technology enhanced services. This development ofrehabilitation services must follow the fundamental principle for all forms of stroke rehabilitation: eachpatient needs a personalised treatment. However, in all three rehabilitation categories, there is a need todefine more specific requirements based on feedback from stroke patients testing the rehabilitationservices.

    Factors Influencing Acceptance of Technology-enhanced Speech and Language Relearning for Stroke Survivors – A Systematic Review2021Ingår i: ICSLT 2021: Proceedings of the 2021 7th International Conference on e-Society, e-Learning and e-Technologies, Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2021, s. 86-91Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Speech and language loss is the most common disease for stroke survivors. The process of relearning communication skills is difficult and a time taking process. Technology-enhanced systems (TES) can be useful in speech and language relearning, however, the acceptance and usability of TES for stroke patients have been a matter of concern and more research is needed in this area. This study is therefore aimed to explore the factors that might influence the acceptance of technology-enhanced speech and language relearning after stroke. A systematic literature review was conducted to determine the technology acceptance factors. To ensure the state of the art in the given field, 97 articles written from 2016 to April 2021 were retrieved with a search string aligned to the research question. After applying the exclusion criteria and quality assurance, 13 articles were selected for inclusion. An overview of selected articles, their chosen methodology, and main findings from the articles was presented in a pre-defined table. The results show that patients’ physical and cognitive condition, the intensity of relearning exercises, native language, the involvement of friends and family, technical assistance and training, selection of hardware and usability of the graphical interface are important factors for acceptance of TES. Stroke patients tend to use TES. Independent living, treatment in the home environment, and improved quality of life are the major motivations for use of TES. However, TES should be tailor-made and a user-centre approach should be adopted. Finally, proper education and training are essential not only for the patients but for the speech therapists and patients’ relatives and friends as well.

    Testbed requirements for technology enhanced stroke rehabilitation to support independent living2019Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    An identified global phenomenon is that, as the percentage of older adults increases, new challenges arise for medical care and rehabilitation. Several research studies have presented e-health as a promising concept to support the idea of independent living among patients with chronic diseases. The Mid Sweden region has a relatively old population and is a region where people live with long distances to the nearest hospital or health care centres. This study had a focus on defining testbed requirements for a technology enhanced stroke rehabilitation adapted to the specific region. The focal research question to answer in this study was: What are the requirements and their associated benefits and barriers of using technology-enhanced systems instead of traditional techniques for stroke rehabilitation in the Mid Sweden region? With Design Science as the overall research strategy, data was collected by semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders in the field of stroke rehabilitation. A deductive thematic analysis was conducted where important themes were grouped into the four main requirement categories of: Technical, Human-computer-interaction, Clinic and Sustainability. Beside the more specific requirements, an interesting finding was the division of stroke rehabilitation into the categories motoric, cognitive and speech rehabilitation; also, how technology enhanced solutions might be used in these categories. Each category has a potential for a successful use of technology enhanced services, but as the standard procedure in traditional stroke rehabilitation each patient needs a personalised treatment.

    An Empirical Investigation on Electronic Government Services Continuance and Trust2023Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Trust is an important factor that contributes to citizens' willingness to continuance use of e-gov services. However, there is a lack of prior investigation about trust and continuance use of e-gov services in Pakistan - a developing country. We propose a model to investigate citizens' trust and e-gov services' continuous use intention to fill this research gap. Our study collected data from an online survey of 558 Pakistani citizens. Using partial least squares analysis, we found that disposition to trust positively correlates with both internet and government trust. Moreover, citizen satisfaction, trust, perceived usefulness, confirmation, and perceived risk all have significant impacts on the continuous use intention of e-gov services. This research extends and validates the Expectation-Confirmation Model by exploring key factors that influence e-gov continuance use intention. As such, our study offers valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners involved in e-gov service delivery in developing countries like Pakistan. The paper also discusses our findings' implications and identifies future research directions.
