In this talk, Dr. C. Estelle Smith, Ph.D. introduced a novel design framework called “SPIRIT" (Spiritual Prerequisites and Innovative dimensions for Integrating Technology) developed in her lab to guide the expansion of spiritual care into digital realms. She will begin by presenting an operational definition of "spiritual care” derived through co-design work with chaplains. This definition can help to establish common ground between spiritual care clinicians and technology designers by shifting away from transactional support models toward relational accompaniment and compassionate presence. The presentation also detailed three essential sociotechnical prerequisites for meaningful engagement (openness to care, the cultivation of a safe space, and the ability to discern and articulate spiritual needs), and six key design dimensions such as the appropriate degree of technology use, loving presence, and meaning-making. To illustrate these principles in action, she discussed examples ranging from established social platforms like CaringBridge to emerging research on Reddit and interactive AI-based prototypes for spiritual care screening. Finally, she concluded by exploring future directions for spiritual innovation. She was joined by respondent, Alex Beth Schapiro.

Presenter: Dr. C. Estelle Smith is a computer science professor specialized in human-computer interaction (HCI). Dr. Smith's research with CaringBridge (an online health communication platform) has articulated a deep need for technology designers to center users’ spiritual needs during serious illness, leading her to develop an interdisciplinary research agenda grounded in collaboration with clinical spiritual care.

Respondent: Alex Beth Schapiro is the manager of a Digital Spiritual Health program within the Accountable Care Organizations at Atlantic Health in Northern New Jersey. Alex also co-convenes Transforming Chaplaincy's Population Health & Digital Spiritual Care research network.
