ABSTRACT
Designing and evaluating interactive systems for encouraging health behavior change at time leaves human-computer interaction researcher in a quandary: the methods and user-centered design philosophies favored in HCI can be incompatible with theory-driven approaches favored in healthcare research. The goal of this panel is to open a discussion about these tensions and to explore methods to reconcile them.

Behavior Change Design Sprints
DIS '18: Proceedings of the 2018 Designing Interactive Systems ConferenceWhile numerous design methods used in industry help designers rapidly brainstorm design ideas, few help them to use theory in the design process. Behavior change theories can support such design activities as understanding, ideating, sketching, and ...
Design for health behavior change supportive technology: healthcare professionals' perspective
NordiCHI '18: Proceedings of the 10th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer InteractionHealth behavior change is a long and difficult process that persuasive technology supports through persuasion and social influence. Designers, oftentimes, do not distinguish the different social influence factors, one of which is social comparison (the ...
Can machine learning make naturalism about health truly naturalistic? A reflection on a data-driven concept of health
AbstractThrough hypothetical scenarios, this paper analyses whether machine learning (ML) could resolve one of the main shortcomings present in Christopher Boorse’s Biostatistical Theory of health (BST). In doing so, it foregrounds the boundaries and ...
