Ethical Tech for Palliative Care Workshop
Abstract
In this three-and-a-half-hour workshop, you will learn about value-sensitive design (VSD) and apply it to a new palliative care technology using radio frequency waves to ubiquitously and, hopefully, unobtrusively monitor patients. This will entail working both individually and in groups. We invite medical professionals as well as other members of the palliative care community to participate in this research workshop.
Date & time: 21 November 2025, 9:00 to 12:30
Location: WorkLounge, Panská 2, 110 00 Prague 1
Language: English
Refreshments will be provided.
By participating in this workshop, you will contribute to research done through HOLDEN, an international European Innovation Grant with the goal of creating ethical radio frequency wave holography. Essentially, partners in the project are developing technology to use WIFI to monitor those moving through the environment.
HOLDEN team investigates how radio frequency ubiquitous sensing can be used to make ethical, value embedded palliative care systems. Additionally, we are studying how medical care professionals and loved ones of palliative care patients approach the issue of ethical design and what methodologies may empower morality driven science.
Participation involves anonymized contribution through digital surveys and observational notes. Anonymous quotations may be used for our research. Collaborators may stop participating at any time, even after signing the consent form. We offer tea, coffee, and snacks as we discuss the potential of this emerging technology.
What Happens with the Data?
Observational notes and form responses will be organized and further anonymized (if necessary). This dataset will be used for continued research related to RF Monitoring.
