Hello there!
On Summer 2017, I had the amazing opportunity to join HCIC 2017. The HCIC Annual Conference brings together researchers from academia, industry, and government at Pajaro Dunes Resort in Watsonville, California. The conference format and shared meals provide opportunities for interaction and learning in a fun and relaxed environment. The theme of this year’s conference is Design Futures. The workshop was very productive. I had the chance to meet and talk with several different professionals who provided great advice and encouragement for my work. I also presented a boaster poster. A “boaster-poster” is a poster that describes your most current research endeavor and/or interest. The idea is to foster dialogue about your topic of interest/research so you can meet like-minded HCIC 2017 attendees. I presented the poster with the following title: Intergenerational Sharing of Health Data among Family Members. Abstract An explosion of affordable commercial wearable sensing devices and mobile health applications has opened up new possibilities to practice self-tracking and enjoy its benefits. However, elders often do not engage with health tracking technologies because they do not see much benefits. Leveraging the inherent reciprocal relationship among family members is one potential approach to promote the practice of health tracking. My research aims to understand and support intergenerational sharing of health data as a collective and collaborative family project of mutual support. Based on interviews and scenario-based focus group discussions, I examined on family members’ understanding of one another’s health and well-being, their current health related practices, and issues around health management as a means to facilitate intergenerational health collaboration. Author KeywordsHealth; family; intergenerational; collaboration; self-tracking; data sharing.
