“…The role of fathers, and the role other caregivers play in the lives of their children are obviously important, and HCI has also begun to support this wider set of caring roles. Prototypes have been designed and developed to support memory-making, record-keeping and communication around a child's development [10], the care-giving transition from the hospital to home for premature babies [7], and continuing connection between a parent and a child when at a distance [9,14]. Nevertheless whilst we value the crucial role that fathers and other carers play role in the raising of a child, this proposed workshop will focus specifically on the needs and values of motherhood, and how these might be better understood through and by HCI.…”

Motherhood and mothering are fundamental aspects of life, and as a consequence, every culture has knowledge, values, practices and expectations related to the role. Technologies now have an increasing role in motherhood, altering many women's experiences of pregnancy, birth, and mothering. For HCI, such a transition opens a whole host of questions relating to areas of participatory design, social connection, data sharing, identity, memory-making, emotion work, as well as offering a new lens through which to understand notions of care and wellbeing. This workshop will bring together researchers, designers, and practitioners interested in the role of motherhood, the act of mothering, and its relation to HCI and technology. We will identify a collective research agenda related to motherhood and HCI and forge connections amongst a community of researchers to support the sharing of knowledge, resources and design approaches.

“…This study showed that the use of videoconferencing and Internet support increased the parents’ satisfaction with the care of the infants and facilitated earlier discharge home of the infants [15]. Prototype systems have been developed for monitoring and tracking observations of behavioral and health-related data of premature infants in the home [16]. The FitBaby prototype includes a mobile phone-based application for parents entering observations about their infant’s health as well as a networked database in which these data are stored for clinician access [16,17].…”

BackgroundOne area where the use of information and communication technology (ICT), or eHealth, could be developed is the home health care of premature infants. The aim of this randomized controlled study was to investigate whether the use of video conferencing or a web application improves parents’ satisfaction in taking care of a premature infant at home and decreases the need of home visits. In addition, nurses’ attitudes regarding the use of these tools were examined.MethodThirty-four families were randomized to one of three groups before their premature infant was discharged from the hospital to home health care: a control group receiving standard home health care (13 families); a web group receiving home health care supplemented with the use of a web application (12 families); a video group with home health care supplemented with video conferencing using Skype (9 families). Families and nursing staff answered questionnaires about the usefulness of ICT. In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 families.ResultsAll the parents in the web group found the web application easy to use. 83% of the families thought it was good to have access to their child’s data through the application. All the families in the video group found Skype easy to use and were satisfied with the video calls. 88% of the families thought that video calls were better than ordinary phone calls. 33% of the families in the web group and 75% of those in the video group thought the need for home visits was decreased by the web application or Skype. 50% of the families in the web group and 100% of those in the video group thought the web application or the video calls had helped them feel more confident in caring for their child. Most of the nurses were motivated to use ICT but some were reluctant and avoided using the web application and video conferencing.ConclusionThe families were satisfied with both the web application and video conferencing. The families readily embraced the use of ICT, whereas motivating some of the nurses to accept and use ICT was a major challenge.

“…Moreover, the data were sent wirelessly instead of using wired transmission and that improves the comfortability significantly. Rihar et al [17], Gravem et al [26], Hayes et al [30], and Fan et al [24] use a similar form of the system to monitor infant movement. …”

Characteristics of physical movements are indicative of infants’ neuro-motor development and brain dysfunction. For instance, infant seizure, a clinical signal of brain dysfunction, could be identified and predicted by monitoring its physical movements. With the advance of wearable sensor technology, including the miniaturization of sensors, and the increasing broad application of micro- and nanotechnology, and smart fabrics in wearable sensor systems, it is now possible to collect, store, and process multimodal signal data of infant movements in a more efficient, more comfortable, and non-intrusive way. This review aims to depict the state-of-the-art of wearable sensor systems for infant movement monitoring. We also discuss its clinical significance and the aspect of system design.
