Abstract

Health Information Technology (HIT) has enormous potential to transform healthcare, and optimal design and implementation of HIT has to incorporate diverse fields' perspectives, including medicine, engineering, design, anthropology, and other related disciplinary areas. WISH workshop at CHI 2017 is designed to bring together researchers and practitioners for shared conversations and nurture a common community of practice. This SIG will further facilitate open, cross-disciplinary conversations with diverse CHI participants about the future of WISH, disclosing the closed conversations among steering committee members and organizers of WISH to the CHI audience for additional input. We will discuss methods, study designs, and dissemination within and across communities. We will discuss issues around challenges of designing, implementing, and evaluating interactive health technologies. This SIG will explore opportunities in growing a nurturing community and developing a research agenda that will drive future innovations in healthcare.
