While remote work may not be suitable for everyone, it holds promise, particularly for those shouldering domestic labor and responsibilities. Our position paper draws on feminist geography, enabling HCI and Futures of Work researchers to critically ...

Learning personalized self-management routines is pivotal for people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), particularly early in diagnosis. Context-aware technologies, such as hybrid closed-loop (HCL) insulin pumps, are important tools for diabetes self-...

With the rise of remote and hybrid work after COVID-19, there is growing interest in understanding remote workers’ experiences and designing digital technology for the future of work within the field of HCI. To gain a holistic understanding of how remote ...

We identify features of mood-tracking apps for managing mental health that foster engagement and sustained use by adolescents—a population that expresses a preference for digital apps over face-to-face support, yet demonstrates low levels of engagement ...

Technology plays an increasingly pivotal role in mediating mental health support in people's everyday lives. However, it is not clear how that mediation is occurring, to what end, and what technologies are implicated. In this study, we examine these ...

Graduate students are facing a mental health crisis due to a combination of individual, community, and societal factors. Many existing stress management interventions engage with one factor at a time, typically focusing on providing a user with data about ...

A grand challenge for computing is to better understand fundamental human needs and their satisfaction. In this work, we design a personal informatics technology probe that scaffolds reflection on how time-use satisfies Max-Neef’s fundamental needs of ...

This study explores the potential benefits of an interactive system that supports individuals in collecting data and reflecting on their self-concept and self-aspects in daily life. Through a think-aloud study (N = 10) and in-situ deployment (N = 7), we ...

We present the research area of personal dream informatics: studying the self-information systems that support dream engagement and communication between the dreaming self and the wakeful self. Through a survey study of 281 individuals primarily ...

Personal informatics (PI) systems have been developed to support reflection. While reflection is considered an indispensable activity in PI use, how and when reflection occurs is still under-studied. In this paper, we present an analysis of the ...

Self-tracking technologies, especially those facilitating support from social systems, are becoming more common for treating serious mental illnesses in both clinical and informal contexts. A recently proposed feature is co-tracking, where data is ...

Global crowdsourcing teams who conduct humanitarian response use temporal narratives as a sensemaking device when time is a critical element of the data story. In dynamic situations in which the flow of online information is rapid, fluid, and disordered,...

The COVID-19 pandemic fundamentally changed the nature of work by shifting most in-person work to a predominantly remote modality as a way to limit the spread of the coronavirus. In the process, the shift to working-from-home rapidly forced the large-...

Numerous studies have highlighted a range of potential benefits of teletherapy for clients. Nonetheless, researchers have found that many therapists are reluctant to adopt teletherapy in their work practice. There is a dearth of research about how ...

Personal health informatics are increasingly used in the long-term management of bipolar disorder and other serious mental illnesses. These systems help individuals and members of their support networks track and stabilize important social rhythms. In ...

This paper explores the possibility of using self-tracking technologies to promote sustainable food habits. To explore socio-cultural aspects in food practices and to understand the potential role of self-tracking tools in participants’ everyday lives, ...

We use a sociotechnical perspective to expand upon prior characterizations of deploying end-to-end urban sensor networks that focus primarily on the technical aspects of such systems. Via exploratory, semi-structured interviews with those deploying a ...

Research in personal informatics (PI) calls for systems to sup- port social forms of tracking, raising questions about how privacy can and should support intentionally sharing sensitive health information. We focus on the case of personal data related to ...

People, organizations, and modern technologies have all become factories, pumping out unbelievable amounts of data every day. This phenomena and the techniques and tools to deal with it is collectively known as "big data." Four characteristics of ...

Traditionally, especially in academic research in recommender systems, the focus has been solely on the satisfaction of the end-user. While user satisfaction has, indeed, been associated with the success of the business, it is not the only factor. ...
