Master thesisThe aim of my master’s thesis is to create a usability framework for digital care applications (DiPAs) specifically designed for home care settings. This framework considers the multidimensional context in which DiPAs operate, analyzing various factors like user needs, organizational care models, physical environments, and technological infrastructures. By capturing these nuanced usage contexts, the framework provides actionable usability guidelines for developers, helping them create more effective, user-centered digital solutions. Ultimately, this work supports the development of DiPAs that enhance care quality and independence for individuals in home care.

EcoSonicEcoSonic is a digital product concept designed to tackle the growing problem of invasive species in forests through bioacoustic monitoring. Invasive species threaten fragile ecosystems worldwide, impacting biodiversity, disrupting natural habitats, and leading to economic losses. Under the theme 'Sound & Space,' EcoSonic uses AI-driven sound detection for the early recognition and monitoring of these species. To validate the approach, we developed a custom AI model, training it on countless hours of frog calls, which brings EcoSonic’s functionality to life in a code prototype. In collaboration with foresters, we developed an app concept enabling forest managers to monitor and protect their designated areas, helping them respond swiftly to invasive threats and manage their territories more effectively.
