Explaining call recommendations in nursing homes: a user-centered design approach for interacting with knowledge-based health decision support systems KU Leuven
Recommender systems are increasingly used in high-risk application domains, including healthcare. It has been shown that explanations are crucial in this context to support decision-making. This paper explores how to explain call recommendations to nursing home staff, providing insights into call priority, notifications, and resident information. We present the design and implementation of a recommender engine and a mobile application designed ...
Blood and neuroimaging biomarkers of cognitive sequelae in breast cancer patients throughout chemotherapy: A systematic review KU Leuven
Breast cancer treatment can induce alterations in blood- and neuroimaging-based markers. However, an overview of the predictive value of these markers for cognition is lacking for breast cancer survivors. This systematic review summarized studies of the last decade, using the PubMed database, evaluating blood markers, and the association between blood- or structural neuroimaging markers and cognition across the chemotherapy trajectory for ...
Maker Technology and the Promise of Empowerment in a Flemish School for Disabled Children KU Leuven
Maker culture encourages do-it-yourself practices to create, repair, and repurpose technology. In Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research, it is seen as a means of empowering people, providing affordable and customisable technology with potential to enrich areas such as education or assistive technology. To investigate this alleged potential, we performed an anthropological inquiry at an elementary school for disabled children that lasted one ...
Lost in time: temporal monitoring elicits clinical decrements in sustained attention post-stroke KU Leuven
Objectives: Mental fatigue, ‘brain fog’, and difficulties maintaining engagement are commonly reported issues in a range of neurological and psychiatric conditions. Traditional sustained attention tasks commonly measure this capacity as the ability to detect target stimuli based on sensory features in the auditory or visual domains. However, with this approach, discrete target stimuli may exogenously capture attention to aid detection, thereby ...
Behavioral Theories and Motivational Features Underlying eHealth Interventions for Adolescent Antiretroviral Adherence: Systematic Review KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: eHealth systems provide new opportunities for the delivery of antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence interventions for adolescents. They may be more effective if grounded in health behavior theories and behavior change techniques (BCTs). Prior reviews have examined the effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability of these eHealth systems. However, studies have not systematically explored the use of health behavior theories and BCTs ...
Audiovisual looming signals are not always prioritized: evidence from exogenous, endogenous and sustained attention KU Leuven
The majority of studies showing multisensory attention benefits have focused on brief audiovisual events. Here we examined whether attention benefits can occur for auditory and visual signals that change in synchrony over time. In the first two experiments we found no evidence that attention was captured more by synchronous compared to asynchronous audiovisual and visual looming signals. The results of our third experiment suggested that ...
