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’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? youtu.be/_sJ2GoZu1Ss
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 youtu.be/_sJ2GoZu1Ss

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 this upcoming work for #CSCW2020, led by @lrpina, we demonstrate design features that support parents and children in tracking and reviewing sleep and mood data together. smunson.com/portfolio/projec…

.@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

.@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
