*Conversational Agents for Health and Wellbeing*
CHI'20 Workshop, Hawaii, 26 April 2020
http://casforhealth.org/
*Description*
This one-day workshop at the CHI 2020 in Hawaii, USA invites HCI designers,
researchers, healthcare professionals, health informatics researchers, and
AI developers and researchers to contribute to the emerging area of
conversational agents in healthcare.
The aim of this workshop is to: i) identify challenges, opportunities, and
research issues in developing more standardized design and evaluation
frameworks for conversational systems, ii) discuss ongoing studies
employing conversational interfaces to improve health outcomes, iii) review
natural language input and output technologies playing a key role in
shaping conversational experiences, and iv) generate a map of actors,
settings, technologies, design and evaluation factors to guide future
research in this emerging area. We invite researchers and professionals to
share their related work and discuss future research directions. We would
accept position papers including but not limited to the following topics:
- Use of conversational agents in clinical and community settings
- Preliminary results on ongoing empirical studies of healthcare
conversational agents
- Conversational agent studies focusing on supporting
patient-centeredness, patient empowerment, and patient safety or
professional autonomy
- Risks and biases associated with design and use of conversational
technologies Emerging uses of AI and ML methods in areas such as dialog
management, speech summarization or error recovery
- Novel applications of UX design and evaluation methods.
*Submissions*
Position papers should be 2-4 pages long (excluding references) in the CHI
EA format. There will be an internal peer-review process between the
authors of the submitted papers. Papers will be selected based on relevance
to the workshop, quality of the contribution, and ability to contribute to
discussion. At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the
workshop.
