Zusammenfassung Ziel der Studie Ziel der Studie war die Bereitstellung von Ergebnissen zur Nutzung von Teletherapie während der Corona-Pandemie durch Vertreter*innen von drei Gesundheitsfachberufen. Methoden Im Rahmen einer fragebogengestützten Online-Erhebung wurden 282 Beschäftigte der Ergotherapie, Physiotherapie und Sprachtherapie/Logopädie zu Nutzungsverhalten, Herausforderungen, Potentialen und Rahmenbedingungen von Teletherapie befragt. Ergebnisse Insbesondere Ergotherapeut*innen und Logopäd*innen nutzen die Therapieform. Teletherapie bietet aus Sicht der Befragten auch unabhängig von der Corona-Pandemie Potenzial als alternative Therapieform. Allerdings ist der Bedarf an Unterstützungsangeboten und Schulungen im Bereich der Teletherapie groß. Schlussfolgerung Für eine langfristige Etablierung der Therapieform sind neben technischen Anforderungen und Schulungsangeboten insbesondere Klärungen zu zukünftigen Abrechnungsformalitäten nötig.

In this paper, we investigate the effect of distractions and hesitations as a scaffolding strategy. Recent research points to the potential beneficial effects of a speaker’s hesitations on the listeners’ comprehension of utterances, although results from studies on this issue indicate that humans do not make strategic use of them. The role of hesitations and their communicative function in human-human interaction is a much-discussed topic in current research. To better understand the underlying cognitive processes, we developed a human–robot interaction (HRI) setup that allows the measurement of the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals of a human participant while interacting with a robot. We thereby address the research question of whether we find effects on single-trial EEG based on the distraction and the corresponding robot’s hesitation scaffolding strategy. To carry out the experiments, we leverage our LabLinking method, which enables interdisciplinary joint research between remote labs. This study could not have been conducted without LabLinking, as the two involved labs needed to combine their individual expertise and equipment to achieve the goal together. The results of our study indicate that the EEG correlates in the distracted condition are different from the baseline condition without distractions. Furthermore, we could differentiate the EEG correlates of distraction with and without a hesitation scaffolding strategy. This proof-of-concept study shows that LabLinking makes it possible to conduct collaborative HRI studies in remote laboratories and lays the first foundation for more in-depth research into robotic scaffolding strategies.

This paper presents a framework for learning event sequences for anomaly detection in a smart home environment. It addresses environment conditions, device grouping, system performance and explainability of anomalies. Our method models user behavior as sequences of events, triggered by interaction of the home residents with the Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Based on a given set of recorded event sequences, the system can learn the habitual behavior of the residents. An anomaly is described as deviation from that normal behavior, previously learned by the system. One key feature of our framework is the explainability of detected anomalies, which is implemented through a simple rule analysis.
