ABSTRACT
In this course, we will share concrete guidelines for HCI research in sensitive settings based on our research experience in dementia. We share how these lessons learned apply in sensitive settings regarding how designing for and with people with dementia has general implications for design and computing. First, we will provide real-world insights on designing technologies in sensitive settings by analyzing example cases from academia and industry. Next, we instruct designers and researchers in practical ethical conduct with stakeholders through hands-on exercises, such as facilitating informed consent and modifying common co-design activities for sensitive contexts.

A Critical Lens on Dementia and Design in HCI
CHI '17: Proceedings of the 2017 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsDesigning new technologies with and for individuals with dementia is a growing topic of interest within HCI. Yet, predominant societal views contribute to the positioning of individuals with dementia as deficient and declining, and treat technology as ...
Ethical by Design: A Manifesto
ECCE '17: Proceedings of the European Conference on Cognitive ErgonomicsThis paper presents a collection of 'ethical by design' principles for considering ethical aspects in the design and implementation of technology-based products and services. It is a work-in-progress describing the need for new, innovative concepts and ...
Ethical Encounters in HCI: Research in Sensitive Settings
CHI EA '15: Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWith HCI researchers conducting studies in increasingly sensitive and difficult settings, ethics is emerging as a key concern for the HCI community. New technologies are now being designed and evaluated in settings that involve vulnerable or ...
