If they are not accessible online, they will therefore not be accessible at all once we are no longer around to locate them. This may have a psychological impact on the people we leave behind. In addition to the ethical concern, management of assets in the cloud is also a resource management challenge from the sustainability and environmental perspectives: As redundant data increasingly consumes resources, network sustainability becomes compromised. There is therefore an opportunity to optimize the process for the ethical, environmental, and sustainability implications of doing so. To determine the extent to which a problem exists both now and potentially in the future, we have conducted a survey to capture perceptions on cloud footprints in general, and the importance which people place on recovering digital assets from the cloud prior to death. Our results confirm that online users are generally unaware that this is an aspect which they should be considering in their estate planning - only 29% of respondents have considered what will happen their online data after death - but the majority agree that it is important and indicate that they will give it greater attention in the future.","PeriodicalId":357217,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132829939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With particular emphasis on healthcare, where access to appropriate information can minimize visits to physicians and periods of hospitalization for patients suffering from chronic conditions that can cause untimely death if not properly treated, e.g. asthma, diabetes, TB and HIV/AIDS diffusion. The overall objective of this paper is to discuss and describe a model for enhancing ICT for development (ICT4D) and the significance of information security in healthcare institutions. The paper focus is important because we are particularly interested in the information security aspect of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) with patients' information protected from possible security threats in hospitals, when sensitive information has to be communicated among healthcare agents. We have identified some healthcare ICT information sharing components in the context of our proposed model as fundamental characteristics to fulfil the information requirements. We further describe how the identified agents in healthcare ICT readiness components interact with a required data to generate the desirable output we have termed in this paper as healthcare ICT SMART Impact. We believe our SMART model will provide support for the local indigenous communities, our target group in a developing economy through Telemedicine.","PeriodicalId":357217,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133423865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As quantitative assessments in the area of health and technology almost exclusively rely on binary indicators of mobile phone adoption, it is not clear whether this is indeed a reasonable proxy that does not obscure the distributional implications of mobile phone use. This paper therefore compares patterns of mobile phone adoption and utilisation using original survey data from rural India and China. \"Utilisation\" here is assessed through a simple yet novel multidimensional index. The paper further assesses the role of these concepts as determinants of locally emerging forms of mobile-phone-aided healthcare-seeking behavior (\"health action\"). The investigation uses descriptive statistical analysis and multilevel logistic regression analysis, which provide evidence in support of the claims that (a) patterns of mobile phone diffusion and utilisation are related yet incongruent, that (b) mobile phones facilitate health action in both field sites to a notable extent, and that (c) the mobile phone utilisation index is a better predictor for phone-aided health action than mobile phone adoption. In light of the superiority of the utilisation index vis-à-vis binary measures of mobile phone adoption, other researchers can apply the survey instrument and technology utilisation concept developed in this paper to support the analysis of the social implications of technology diffusion.","PeriodicalId":357217,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"161 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123745552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The key focus of this paper is to share the experience and lessons learnt from the implementation of mobile tools to control and prevent tobacco use and enforce tobacco legislation in Russia. Smartphone applications and SMS programs have been widely discussed in terms of smoking cessationiv. Less attention, however, has been paid to the use of mobile communication channels to increase smoke-free public places. This paper will describe two new national initiatives: Smokefree Russia, which uses a mobile application to inform individuals and business/property owners about details of new anti-smoking legislation in Russia, as well as an interactive map providing a platform for volunteer community involvement in encouraging compliance with the legislation. This initiative is accompanied by other initiatives of the implementing organization, the Health and Development Foundation, to address smoking through mHealth tools, including an mCessation text-message program, QuitTogether. The details of these programs are provided, as well as implementation challenges and initial monitoring and evaluation data.","PeriodicalId":357217,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123960902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the emerging context of smart cities, Internet and Communication Technologies (ICT) are becoming technology-enablers of citizen participation towards sustainable urban development targets. This article highlights the opportunity of ICT-enabled citizen-empowerment, based on recent discoveries of behavioral psychology, and raises questions about the accompanying challenges. The aim of such design is to enable citizens to understand their own role in relation to wider sustainability issues, in particular to aid them in decision-making processes. This may result into a transition of increased citizen responsibility that could entail an unprecedented number of daily decisions and ethical trade-offs. To facilitate this transition, the growing stream of ethical considerations in everyday life, \"real-time ethics\", require a distinct interdisciplinary discussion.","PeriodicalId":357217,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115588069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The IM HAPPY (Improving Hopes, Aspirations, Potential & Prospects in the Youth) project seeks to raise aspirations and provide confidence to residents of two NRAs through the promotion of educational engagement and formalised attainment. As part of the initial stages of the project, four bite-sized computing modules (Multimedia Web Development, Introduction to Mobile App Development, Robotics and Effective Social Media) were delivered to classes in approved secondary schools and community centres within the NRAs. A range of teaching methods were employed to encourage the participants to engage with their learning and these methods were adapted to accommodate groups from different age ranges and with different existing computing skills. This paper reflects on the relative success of these four modules in engaging the participants and attempts to identify influencing factors on performances to help shape future policy and direction. Particular focus is given to the Robotics module and the use of LEGO Mindstorms, with additional observations highlighting differences in participant engagement using age and gender as discriminators.","PeriodicalId":357217,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129670818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Play is a vitally part of every child's life, providing not only entertainment but also influencing the psychological, physiological and social development of a child. Throughout the years, toys have reflected every generation's advances in technology. In this paper wireless technologies, low power computing and sensing are used to expand the capabilities of existing toys. The proposed framework is a first step towards vision enabled gesture recognition, emotion assessment, as well as providing useful physiological feedback such as temperature change or allergic reactions. The toys are equipped with versatile interfaces which allow children with a wide range of disabilities to interact with them. The solution retrofits low cost toy robots with state of the art sensors (PiR, temperature, and microphone), processing capabilities, and wireless technology. A computer vision system for location and control of the toys has also been also developed. This allows one or more toys to work in conjunction with a remote camera to interact with their environment. Two deployment scenarios are presented showing the feasibility of the platform. The first deployment involves using the thermal imaging and PiR sensors to detect \"Santa\" and capture a thermal recording of him. The second deployment involves using a fixed camera in a room for real time tracking and control of toys. The aim is to provide a platform which can provide robot-human and robot-robot interactions using vision sensors.","PeriodicalId":357217,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115806668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
