Abstract
The Workgroup on Interactive Systems in Healthcare (WISH) brings together industry and academic researchers in human-computer interaction, biomedical informatics, health informatics, mobile health, and other disciplines to develop a cross-disciplinary research agenda that will drive future innovations in health care. We propose a Symposium at CHI 2019 to host WISH with the goal of facilitating a common space to share and discuss methods, study designs, and dissemination in a collaborative fashion. The symposium also aims to actively provide mentoring opportunities to junior and new health technology researchers - from undergraduates to mid-career researchers who want to focus on interactive systems in Healthcare. This will be the eighth WISH meeting in a series of successful workshops bringing together different research communities and practitioners around challenges of designing, implementing, and evaluating interactive health technologies.
