Abstract

This position paper aims to initiate a dialogue among HCI researchers about the current research and future directions on anthropomorphism in implementing health virtual coaches. We summarize key research trends on anthropomorphized virtual coaches and present three future directions on this area that expand on and address gaps from previous studies. Our ultimate goal is to implicate future creation of virtual coaches in health that can effectively improve the well-being of users.
