Bevor sie sich mit den Feinheiten der Technologieentwicklung befasst, stellt Ila Kumar zun\u00e4chst eine grundlegende Frage: In welchem Kontext wird diese Technologie zum Einsatz kommen, und wer muss in ihre Konzeption einbezogen werden? <\/p>\n
For Kumar, genuine innovation doesn’t grow out of professionals working in their own silos. She is a steadfast believer in the collaborative process – especially when it involves those who stand to benefit from the technological advancements, right from the inception stage. Her work with the Gruppe \u201eLifelong Kindergarten\u201c<\/a> verk\u00f6rpert diese Philosophie. In diesem Projekt arbeitet sie gemeinsam mit jungen Menschen, die traumatische Erfahrungen gemacht haben \u2013 insbesondere mit denen, die mit dem Kinder- und Jugendhilfesystem in Ber\u00fchrung gekommen sind \u2013, daran, neue Wege zu finden, wie Technologie zur Heilung, zur Schaffung von Verbindungen und zur F\u00f6rderung der Selbstst\u00e4ndigkeit beitragen kann.<\/p>\n Kumar emphasizes that building technology is a community affair. She firmly believes in the notion that creating a technology catering to the communities\u2019 needs, barriers, cultures, and concerns is both sustainable and impactful. Now in the last year of her PhD, a journey she hadn’t initially planned on, Kumar continues to follow her guiding philosophy. Her past experiences in Philadelphia, her studies at the University of Pennsylvania and her work intersecting technology and mental health all played a part in shaping this philosophy. While working on various ‘tech for good’ projects, Kumar noticed the lack of long-term results. Instead of dismissing technology, she reconsidered its creation process. <\/p>\n As she began to adopt community-based methodologies and take broader well-being into account, Kumar found that not only does technology have the potential to harm young people’s mental health and development, it can also be a tool for growth. When properly designed and integrated into existing care systems, technology can enable emotional processing, relationship building, and allow for healthy vulnerability. Kumar’s current work explores these possibilities, developing innovative projects that foster community collaboration. <\/p>\n Ein solches Projekt, das in Zusammenarbeit mit \u201eStepping Forward LA\u201c durchgef\u00fchrt wird, nutzt eine App, die von und f\u00fcr junge Menschen entwickelt wurde. Dieses visuelle Collagen-System ersetzt textlastige Kommunikation und hilft traumatisierten Menschen dabei, ihre Gef\u00fchle auszudr\u00fccken und Beziehungen aufzubauen. Eine weitere laufende Zusammenarbeit mit dem Justice Resource Institute umfasst die Entwicklung einer mobilen App, bei der Jugendliche und Fachkr\u00e4fte gemeinsam ein Tool entwickeln, das Teenager bei der Behandlungsplanung und der Zielsetzung st\u00e4rkt.<\/p>\n F\u00fcr Kumar ist der Prozess der Entwicklung von Hilfsmitteln und Technologien keine einseitige Interaktion. Sie setzt auf einen st\u00e4rker kooperativen Ansatz, der die Menschen einbezieht, die dabei am wichtigsten sind \u2013 die Betreuer. Dies wurde in einem \u201eTechnology Leadership Circle\u201c besonders deutlich, den sie gemeinsam mit Foster America moderierte und bei dem Technologieexperten mit Personen zusammenkamen, die Erfahrungen mit der Pflegeunterbringung haben. Ziel dieses Programms war es, zu er\u00f6rtern, wie digitale Technologien genutzt werden k\u00f6nnen, um M\u00e4ngel bei der Betreuung junger Menschen im Kinder- und Jugendhilfesystem zu beheben. <\/p>\n This collaboration underscored the importance of designing tools that meet the specific needs of youth and emphasized the need to factor in social services when crafting innovations. On another front, Kumar’s curiosity has led her to delve into artificial intelligence. She found that young people affected by trauma were already using AI for critical decisions, often without the knowledge of their caregivers. This understanding prompted her further engagement with care providers, leading her to conduct training workshops for organizations serving young people impacted by trauma.<\/p>\n Outside the research sphere, Kumar enjoys birdwatching, cooking with friends, and creating graphic illustrations. These pursuits, which require patience, observation, and attentiveness – mirror her approach to research. As we steadily integrate technology into our lives, Kumar perceives future innovations extending beyond the laboratory and out into the communities these technologies stand to serve. Her assertion: “The future of truly impactful technologies is when researchers make decisions with communities rather than for them” encapsulates this belief. <\/p>\n Interessieren Sie sich f\u00fcr KI-L\u00f6sungen f\u00fcr Ihr Unternehmen?
