About WISH

The Workgroup on Interactive Systems in Healthcare (WISH) connects academic and industry researchers across human-computer interaction, medical informatics, health informatics, digital health, and beyond to foster a community around innovations in consumer and medical health and wellbeing. The WISH Symposium at CHI 2023 will regather the HCI health and wellbeing research community for the first in-person community meeting in four years, allowing us to discuss and disseminate findings, methods, and approaches toward understanding and creating interactive health and wellbeing systems. We will continue the tradition of providing mentoring opportunities for early- and mid-career researchers, ranging from undergraduates to post-PhD, to establish future generations of scholars in the area. This will be the tenth WISH meeting, following a successful tradition of workshops at relevant venues, including CHI, over the past decade.

Attending WISH

This year’s WISH symposium will be in-person and take place as part of CHI 2023 in Hamburg, Germany, on April 28th. We hope you can join us!

Submissions

We are accepting two types of submissions: (1) Research highlights and (2) Work-in-progress. You can find more information about the submission here. Submission is optional to attend WISH.

Mentoring Program

Over the last few years, WISH has established a tradition of a strong mentorship program in which junior researchers can apply to be paired with mentors selected from distinguished members and thought leaders from WISH-related research and industry communities. We will continue this tradition at WISH 2023. More information regarding the mentoring program and how to apply can be found here.
