Abstract

Dying is a universal experience that entails uncertainty, loss, and termination. Often, people face death unprepared and miss out on opportunities to shape their final stage of life as well as their afterlife. To better understand how thanato-technology can support the dying and the bereaved, we performed a scoping review on the current state-of-art in Human Computer Interaction. Following the PRISMA-ScR procedure, we gathered and analyzed 107 relevant papers. We categorized theoretical and conceptual contributions into three overarching themes: digital remains, remembrance, and coping. We further highlight 18 practices, such as curation, honoring and letting go. We show that technology can help to capture the identity of the deceased, to validate the life lived, and to come to terms with death. However, available approaches focus more on the bereaved than on the dying. In addition, potentially important aspects of dying (e.g., balancing involvement and autonomy, spiritual meaning-making) remain largely unexplored.

Dying, death, and mortality: towards thanatosensitivity in HCI
CHI EA '09: CHI '09 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

What happens to human-computer "interaction" when the human user is no longer alive? This exploratory paper uses insights from the critical humanist tradition to argue for the urgent need to consider the facts of mortality, dying, and death in HCI ...
HCI at the end of life: understanding death, dying, and the digital
CHI EA '10: CHI '10 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Death and our experience of it is a fundamental aspect of life and consequently every human culture has developed practices associated with responding to, signifying, and dealing with its implications. As our technology pervades our cultures, we find ...
Matters of life and death: locating the end of life in lifespan-oriented hci research
CHI '11: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Examining developmental periods of the human lifespan has been a useful tradition for focusing HCI research (e.g., technologies for children or the elderly). In this paper, we identify the end of life as another period of the human lifespan that merits ...
