CHI '26Generative AI (Text, Image, Music, Video) +3

CASEbot: A Conversational Agent for Structuring and Personalizing the Design of Self-Experiments in Personal Health

Self-experimentation, or using tracked data to systematically answer health and wellbeing questions via hypothesis testing, has significant potential to support personal health. However, technological support for self-experimentation has focused on expert-designed self-experiments for specific health conditions, limit…

AI and Sustainable Building Automation Systems (BAS): Envisioned Roles and Emerging Challenges

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into Building Automation Systems (BAS) to enhance energy efficiency and occupant comfort. Yet, rather than functioning as neutral optimization tools, AI in BAS operates within fragile infrastructures, limited resources, and institutional politics. We present a qu…

High Accuracy and Hidden Disparities: Investigating Foundation Model Performance in Clinical Cognitive Assessment

Foundation models tested for clinical practice using human-designed metrics may mask fundamental differences in information processing. We investigated this using the clock drawing test (CDT), a cognitive screening tool. Three foundation models achieved 94% accuracy on conventional metrics, matching experts. However,…

Unremarkable to Remarkable AI Agent: Exploring Boundaries of Agent Intervention for Adults With and Without Cognitive Impairment

As the population of older adults increases, there is a growing need for support for them to age in place. This is exacerbated by the growing number of individuals struggling with cognitive decline and shrinking number of youth who provide care for them. Artificially intelligent agents could provide cognitive support…

CSCW '25Palliative Care

SCOPE: Examining Technology-Enhanced Collaborative Care Management of Depression in the Cancer Setting

Collaborative care management is an evidence-based approach to integrated psychosocial care for patients with comorbid cancer and depression. Prior work highlights challenges in patient-provider collaboration in navigating parallel cancer care and psychosocial care journeys of these patients. We design and deploy SCOP…

CSCW '25Caregiving & Caregivers

Balancing Caregiving and Self-Care: Exploring Mental Health Needs in Alzheimer's and Dementia Caregiving

Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (AD/ADRD) are progressive neurodegenerative conditions that impair memory, thought processes, and functioning. Family caregivers of individuals with AD/ADRD face significant mental health challenges due to long-term caregiving responsibilities. Yet, current support systems o…

Flowco: Mixed-Initiative Authoring of Reliable End-to-End Data Analyses via Dataflow Graphs and LLMs

Conducting data analysis typically involves authoring code to trans- form, visualize, analyze, and interpret data. Large Language Models (LLMs) are now capable of generating such code for simple, routine analyses, and they have the potential to democratize data science by enabling those with limited programming expert…

Contrastive Explanations That Anticipate Human Misconceptions Can Improve Human Decision-Making Skills

People's decision-making abilities often fail to improve or may even erode when they rely on AI for decision support, even when the AI provides informative explanations. We argue this is partly because people intuitively seek contrastive explanations, which clarify the difference between the AI's decision and their ow…

Deploying and Examining Beacon for At-Home Patient Self-Monitoring with Critical Flicker Frequency

Chronic liver disease can lead to neurological conditions that result in coma or death. Although early detection can allow for intervention, testing is infrequent and unstandardized. Beacon is a device for at-home patient self-measurement of cognitive function via critical flicker frequency, which is the frequency at…

CHI '25Recommender System UX +2

What-if Analysis for Business Professionals: Current Practices and Future Opportunities

What-if analysis (WIA) is essential for data-driven decision-making, allowing users to assess how changes in variables impact outcomes and explore alternative scenarios. Existing WIA research primarily supports the workflows of data scientists and analysts, and largely overlooks business professionals who engage in WI…
