SmartPHIL: 1st Workshop on Smart Personal Health Interfaces
Web: http://hri.unica.it/SmartPhil/
In conjunction with ACM IUI 2020, https://iui.acm.org/2020/index.html,
17th-20th March, 2020, Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy
and with

Workshop Overview
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Given the increasing adoption of personal health services and devices,
research on smart personal health interfaces is a hot topic for the
communities of AI and human-computer interaction. The first wave of
health solutions based on wearables and apps have not been shown to be
sufficiently effective for behavior change and health self-management.
In order to enhance acceptance and effectiveness of personal health
systems, it is necessary to devise novel methods to establish
interaction among users and their personal devices in an advanced and
intuitive way. In particular, existing conversational interfaces have
reached good accuracy in terms of language understanding, but they fall
short in understanding unstructured user intents and communications. As
a result, they often offer a frustrating experience to the user. This
issue is particularly perceived by frail categories of users such as the
elderly and people with disabilities.
The workshop, within the ACM IUI 2020 Conference, aims to bring together
researchers, industry, and the community interested in next-generation
personalized health services exploiting AI for leveraging natural
interaction. The workshop will be supported by the EU Horizon 2020
Marie-Curie Innovative Training Network project PhilHumans. We expect to
receive both mature contributions and early results on these topics, as
well as position papers illustrating innovative research directions. A
NAO robot with some use case related to the topics of the workshop will
be shown during the workshop to further stimulate collaborations and
discussion.
