IUI '26Explainable AI (XAI) +2

The HEART Interface: Visualizing Risk Score Uncertainty in the Cardiothoracic ICU

Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds significant potential for supporting clinical decision-making, particularly in high-pressure environments, such as Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Units (CT-ICU). Care teams in these settings face challenges such as alarm fatigue, rapid staff turnover, time-sensitive decisions, and an…

Balancing Efficiency and Empathy: Healthcare Providers' Perspectives on AI-Supported Workflows for Serious Illness Conversations in the Emergency Department

Serious Illness Conversations (SICs)—discussions about values and care preferences for patients with life-threatening illness—rarely occur in Emergency Departments (EDs), despite evidence that early conversations improve care alignment and reduce unnecessary interventions. We interviewed 11 ED providers to identify ch…

Human-AI Narrative Synthesis to Foster Shared Understanding in Civic Decision-Making

Community engagement processes in representative political contexts, like school districts, generate massive volumes of feedback that overwhelm traditional synthesis methods, creating barriers to shared understanding not only between civic leaders and constituents but also among community members. To address these bar…

Exploring the Future of AI in Clinical Collaboration: A Study on Tumor Board Case Preparation

Multidisciplinary tumor boards (MTBs) bring specialists together to identify therapies for complex cancer cases, but preparing for them is time-intensive. Clinicians must extract key details from extensive records and evaluate treatment options. While large language models (LLMs) show promise in medicine for basic tas…

CHI '26Dark Patterns Recognition +3

Dark Patterns Meet GUI Agents: LLM Agent Susceptibility to Manipulative Interfaces and the Role of Human Oversight

The dark patterns, deceptive interface designs manipulating user behaviors, have been extensively studied for their effects on human decision-making and autonomy. Yet, with the rising prominence of LLM-powered GUI agents that automate tasks from high-level intents, understanding how dark patterns affect agents is incr…

Through the Lens of Human-Human Collaboration: An Configurable Research Platform for Exploring Human-Agent Collaboration

Intelligent systems have traditionally been designed as tools rather than collaborators, often lacking critical characteristics that collaboration partnerships require. Recent advances in large language model (LLM) agents open new opportunities for human-LLM-agent collaboration by enabling natural communication and va…

CHI '26Privacy by Design & User Control +2

My Body, Their Business: User Perspectives on Commercial Data Practices in FemTech Apps

FemTech, including apps for fertility, menstruation, and menopause, increasingly shapes how users manage intimate aspects of their health. Yet these apps are often built on opaque commercial models, raising ethical concerns about consent, privacy, and misuse of sensitive health data. While prior work has documented th…

Sometimes You Need Facts, and Sometimes a Hug: Understanding Older Adults’ Preferences for Explanations in LLM-Based Conversational AI Systems

Designing Conversational AI systems to support older adults requires these systems to explain their behavior in ways that align with older adults’ preferences and context. While prior work has emphasized the importance of AI explainability in building user trust, relatively little is known about older adults’ requirem…

"I can take what I want and adapt as needed": BIPOC Identity Making and Resistance Through Internet Aesthetics on TikTok

Internet Aesthetics are personal styles that are curated, instantiated, and remade on social media through collections of art, fashion, sensory experiences, literature, and media to communicate and share lifestyle narratives. BIPOC users often use Internet Aesthetics on TikTok as identity-making tools. However, they m…

"Do I Really Need This?": Illuminating Challenges in Integrating Computational Training Tools in Esports Coaching

The rise in popularity and value of esports motivates the creation of computational training tools (CTTs) for learning, assessment, and skill gain. While some tools exist commercially, much of the work in the research literature is rarely used outside of a lab, resulting in a lack of knowledge on the challenges involv…
