Our lab examines how novel interactive computing systems can help people to achieve a state of wellness. We are particularly interested in issues of health equity, designing innovative software tools for populations who disproportionately experience barriers to wellness.

“I want people to have the information they need so they can make their own decisions,” says Herman Saksono. He designs social health technologies to improve the health outcomes of low-income populations. https://t.co/htEmTjN5Vh

I’m proud of this work led by @YZhang_Janice, examining perspectives on “crisis apps” amongst older adults! Check out her #chi2020 video presentation. One question we explored— how well do these tools support a sense of dignity, safety, and control? https://t.co/5Rb0zJqRij

We're excited to share our #chi2020 video presentation on how people use technologies that provide specific features and functions needed during crises, emergencies, or disasters, with a focus on vulnerable populations (i.e., older adults). @YZhang_Janice https://t.co/TMZHMr9ZSM

Excited to share our #chi2020 video presentation on the Storywell app. We explored the use of digital storytelling and reflections in a fitness tracking app designed to support physical activity in low-SES families. Here's a clip:

In our #chi2020 paper, we reported our evaluation of Storywell. We examined how gamification can go beyond competition and rewards in order to support the motivation to use family fitness apps — especially in low-SES contexts.

.@EBStowell will present a study on exergame designs for Alzheimer’s Disease caregivers. Through participatory design sessions, we characterized ways that exergames might best support this population. @YZhang_Janice @andreagparker

.@EBStowell will present our study about the networked disclosure in #MeToo. By inviting women to share their ordinarily silenced stories on Twitter, this networked reciprocal disclosure help counter the stigma over disclosing sexual violence.

.@andreagparker will be on the Women’s {Health, Wellbeing, & Empowerment} panel with @nehakumar @daepstein @kanarinka @Amanda_Lazar @MugeHaseki and Anupriya Tuli.

[Neha Kumar @nehakumar]

Such an honor to have moderated this fabulous panel on “women’s {health, wellbeing, and empowerment}” with @andreagparker @kanarinka @daepstein @Amanda_Lazar @MugeHaseki and Anupriya Tuli from @hcd_IIITD at #CSCW2019

[Herman Saksono (he/him) @hermansaksono]

.@EBStowell pointed out an important future direction to examine how a person *could have* disclosed but did not, thus ensuring that everyone have equal opportunitty to disclose. #CSCW2019

[Herman Saksono (he/him) @hermansaksono]

.@EBStowell shows that seeing sexual violence disclosures during the peak of #MeToo increased the probability of a user to disclose own sexual violence experience. This networked reciprocal disclosure can help counter the stigma towards disclosing. #CSCW2019
