This project investigate the roles conversational AI systems (CAI) can play in supporting caregivers (e.g., parents, guardians, other family members) and how domain experts and caregivers can work together to define these roles. By studying two different contexts of caregiving--parenting and living with dementia--the research contributes to:
- Understanding the roles and limitations on when conversational AI addresses caregiving needs
- Developing a platform for stakeholders to co-design conversational AI that supports the work of caregiving.
Supporting Philadelphia Youth
DURAIS: A Platform for Co-Designing and Understanding the Roles of Conversational Artificial Intelligence Systems on Caregiving
DURAIS: A Platform for Co-Designing and Understanding the Roles of Conversational Artificial Intelligence Systems on Caregiving
We are working with community leaders in the city of Philadelphia to support youth's mental health and prevention of gun violence. We are interested in understanding how technology can play a role through various theoretical lenses, including cognitive behavioral theory, trauma-informed design, and attachment theory.
New Frameworks for Human Research in the Digital Era

New Frameworks for Human Research in the Digital Era
Personal information increasingly fosters personalized technology experiences in daily activities, such as shopping, reading news articles and watching movies. Researchers can now access more research participants and expanded opportunities to study complex human behaviors in real-time. However, using digital technologies to conduct resea
Personal information increasingly fosters personalized technology experiences in daily activities, such as shopping, reading news articles and watching movies. Researchers can now access more research participants and expanded opportunities to study complex human behaviors in real-time. However, using digital technologies to conduct research calls for new core guidelines for research ethics, such as informed consent, autonomy and confidentiality. The project will support working group activities and a public conference for stimulating computing ethics research.
Community-based Telehealth for Older Adults
DURAIS: A Platform for Co-Designing and Understanding the Roles of Conversational Artificial Intelligence Systems on Caregiving
New Frameworks for Human Research in the Digital Era
We are working with the TIPS project, a community-based telehealth program in the tri-state area (New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania). The program allows older adults to participate in regular monitoring activities on biometric measurements, such as blood pressure, heart rate, weight, etc and self-reported outcomes. Some research interest
We are working with the TIPS project, a community-based telehealth program in the tri-state area (New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania). The program allows older adults to participate in regular monitoring activities on biometric measurements, such as blood pressure, heart rate, weight, etc and self-reported outcomes. Some research interests of this project include:
- Health equity and language barriers
- Older adult isolation
- Prevention of emergency room visits
