    Design Blueprint for Stress-Sensitive Adaptive Enterprise Systems
    (Business & Information Systems Engineering: Vol. 59, No. 4, 2017) Adam, Marc T. P.; Gimpel, Henner; Maedche, Alexander; Riedl, René
    Stress is a major problem in the human society, impairing the well-being, health, performance, and productivity of many people worldwide. Most notably, people increasingly experience stress during human-computer interactions because of the ubiquity of and permanent connection to information and communication technologies. This phenomenon is referred to as technostress. Enterprise systems, designed to improve the productivity of organizations, frequently contribute to this technostress and thereby counteract their objective. Based on theoretical foundations and input from exploratory interviews and focus group discussions, the paper presents a design blueprint for stress-sensitive adaptive enterprise systems (SSAESes). A major characteristic of SSAESes is that bio-signals (e.g., heart rate or skin conductance) are integrated as real-time stress measures, with the goal that systems automatically adapt to the users’ stress levels, thereby improving human-computer interactions. Various design interventions on the individual, technological, and organizational levels promise to directly affect stressors or moderate the impact of stressors on important negative effects (e.g., health or performance). However, designing and deploying SSAESes pose significant challenges with respect to technical feasibility, social and ethical acceptability, as well as adoption and use. Considering these challenges, the paper proposes a 4-stage step-by-step implementation approach. With this Research Note on technostress in organizations, the authors seek to stimulate the discussion about a timely and important phenomenon, particularly from a design science research perspective.

    Entwicklung der Anwendung der virtuellen Realität eines Arztbesuches
    (Workshops der 21. Fachtagung Bildungstechnologien (DELFI), 2023) Hoffarth, Evelyn Isabelle; Zinn, Bernd
    Im Beitrag werden Herausforderungen vorgestellt, denen Personen im Autismus-Spektrum gegenüberstehen sowie die Potenziale von Virtual Reality (VR) für die Zielgruppe zur Vorbereitung, Ergänzung und als Ersatz für das Erlernen von Konzepten und Fähigkeiten in realen Umgebungen. Der Fokus liegt auf dem Einsatz der entwickelten 360°-Video-VR-Anwendung, ausgerichtet auf den Use Case eines inszenierten Arztbesuches (Virtual Reality Arztbesuch, VRAB). Dieser wurde von Personen im Autismus-Spektrum und Personen außerhalb des Autismus-Spektrums, in VR durchlaufen und wird hinsichtlich der Technologieakzeptanz sowie den Einflussfaktoren von induziertem Stress, quantitativ und qualitativ evaluiert.

    Exploring Stress Creation in VR for Task-Based Training in Nursing
    (Mensch und Computer 2019 - Workshopband, 2019) Weiß, Sebastian; Heuten, Wilko
    Stress is an influencing factor in safety-critical environments as it has been shown to have adverse affects on both nurses and patients. However, if correctly handled, it can increase efficiency. Virtual reality (VR) has become a wide-spread medium with use cases in many different industries, such as medicine, military, and aviation. The possibility of VR to create an immersive experience in a realistic depiction of the working environments including typical stressors, such as an ICU, makes it a good candidate as a training tool. This work outlines possible technologies and applications to create and measure stress for a wholistic training experience.

    Personalized Stress Management: Enabling Stress Monitoring with LifelogExplorer
    (KI - Künstliche Intelligenz: Vol. 29, No. 2, 2015) Kocielnik, Rafal; Sidorova, Natalia
    Stress is one of the major triggers for many diseases. Improving stress balance is therefore an important prevention step. With advances in wearable sensors, it becomes possible to continuously monitor and analyse user’s behavior and arousal in an unobtrusive way. In this paper, we report on a case study in which users (21 teachers of a vocational school) were provided with wearable sensors and could view their arousal information put in the context of their life events during the period of four weeks using our software tool in an unsupervised setting. The goal was to evaluate user engagement and enabling of self-coaching abilities. Our results show that users actively explored their arousal data during the study. Further qualitative evaluation conducted with 15 of 21 users indicated that 12 of 15 users were able to learn about their stress patterns based on the information they obtained, but only 5 of them were able to come up with practical interventions for improving their stress balance on their own, while other users were of opinion that nothing can be done to reduce their stress, which suggests that self-coaching has some potential but there is need in further coaching support.
