Merid-Eq: Multimodal Early Risk Identification For Home Healthcare Equity In Infection Risks, Zidu Xu, Jiyoun Song, Shuang Zhou, Danielle Scharp, Mollie Hobensack, Jingjing Shang, Maxim Topaz Aug 2025

Merid-Eq: Multimodal Early Risk Identification For Home Healthcare Equity In Infection Risks, Zidu Xu, Jiyoun Song, Shuang Zhou, Danielle Scharp, Mollie Hobensack, Jingjing Shang, Maxim Topaz

Sigma Foundation for Nursing Research Grant Reports

Annually, three million people in the U.S. receive home healthcare (HHC). Aging-related deterioration, surgical history, and suboptimal home-disinfection practices increase infection risk, which accounts for over 40% of HHC-related hospital or emergency transfers. Critical indicators—such as clinical signs, procedures, and home-hygiene factors—are documented in narrative HHC notes. Converting these unstructured texts into actionable cues requires efficient automation that fits agencies’ limited computing capacity and evolving patient needs. Prior work shows clinicians value context-rich indicators (e.g., “wound deterioration: right thigh with large exudate drainage”) (1). While large language models excel at such tasks, they require extensive resources. Smaller LLMs may offer …

A Guide For Applying Grounded Theory In Qualitative Research, Irja Shaanika, Tiko Iyamu Aug 2025

A Guide For Applying Grounded Theory In Qualitative Research, Irja Shaanika, Tiko Iyamu

African Conference on Information Systems and Technology

Grounded theory (GT) has been applied numerous times in qualitative research across disciplines. Yet, challenges remain in applying it. The challenges are attributed to its complexity, particularly because of its diversity as a research design and data collection method. Consequently, researchers, particularly emerging researchers and postgraduates, are drifting away from the theory. Primarily, the complexity arises from two fronts: (1) confusion, not being able to differentiate between its use as a design strategy and data collection technique, and (2) standardisation, a lack of understanding of when to stop in its iterative process. This study provides a structured, simplistic guide for …

Towards Age-Inclusive Human Computer Interaction: A Study Of Text Message Adoption By Seniors, Sam Takavarasha, Varaidzo Mapepa Aug 2025

Towards Age-Inclusive Human Computer Interaction: A Study Of Text Message Adoption By Seniors, Sam Takavarasha, Varaidzo Mapepa

African Conference on Information Systems and Technology

Since mobile phones are increasingly becoming livelihoods-enablers to people in developing economies, inclusive interaction design are critical. This research on the age inclusivity of feature phones was motivated by some observation that elderly users had challenges with adoption of text messaging. We, therefore, hypothesized that elderly people had challenges with texting ‘cash’, ‘cheque’ or ‘visa’ on a feature phone. The paper investigates if the required agility and interface ergonomics were age discriminatory inhibitors of the adoption of text messaging given the diminishing dexterity and cognitive skills of seniors. Using Sen’s (1999) ‘heterogeneity of capabilities’ theory and Davis et al (1989)’s …
