Wellness Tech Lab

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

.@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 Wednesday, 2:30 pm. Meeting room 412. #cscw2019

.@andreagparker will be on the Women’s {Health, Wellbeing, & Empowerment} panel with @nehakumar @daepstein @kanarinka @Amanda_Lazar @MugeHaseki and Anupriya Tuli. Monday, 4.30 pm. Meeting room 406. #cscw2019

.@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. Monday, 11 am. Salon A. #cscw2019

Finally, we recommend reflection themes to help fitness tracking users develop strategies to be active in the future. #chi2019 dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3…

To further help fitness self-tracking users to be active, we suggest future work to support users conceptualize: 1) How they were active in the past, AND 2) How they can be active in the future. #chi2019

Caregivers who are more concerned about their children's health tend to engage their children in causal insight. In other words, abstract conceptualization is facilitated when there's an alignment between beliefs and fitness trackers features. #CHI2019 dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid…

During the family fitness tracking study, very few families were engaged in causal insight—which is a form of abstract conceptualization. Abstract conceptualization is critical for learning. #CHI2019 dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid…

.@hermansaksono introduced Kolb's experiential learning framework in the context of learning on how to ride a bike. This shows the importance of abstract conceptualization for learning. #CHI2019 dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid…
