Designers often struggle to sufficiently explore large design spaces, which can lead fixation and suboptimal outcomes. Here we introduce DesignAID, a generative AI tool that supports broader space exploration by first using language models produce range of diverse ideas expressed in words, then image generation software create images from these words. This innovative combination AI-based capabilities allows human-computer pairs rapidly set visual concepts without time-consuming drawing. In...
As crucial public functions are transferred to computer systems, emerging technologies have implications that often shaped beyond influence and oversight. "Smart city" "modernization" projects just some examples of such transformations. This paper focuses on struggles over the acquisition, control, maintenance these public, digital infrastructures. We focus forms HCI knowledge practice proved useful a coalition community organizations claiming rights input into political oversight...
Abstract Objective Electronic health records (EHRs) have great potential to improve quality of care. However, their use may diminish “patient-centeredness” in exam rooms by distracting the healthcare provider from focusing on direct patient interaction. The authors conducted a qualitative interview study understand magnitude this issue, and strategies that primary care providers devised mitigate unintended adverse effect associated with EHR use. Methods Materials Semi-structured interviews...
Recent technology advances in both Virtual Reality and Augmented are creating an opportunity for a paradigm shift the design of human-computer interaction systems. Delving into Reality-Virtuality Continuum, we find Mixed - systems designed to augment physical world with virtual entities that embody characteristics real objects. In medical field, can overlay real-time spatially accurate results onto patient's body without need external screens. The complexity these previously required...
Maintaining good sleep hygiene is a constant challenge in modern lives. Sleep habits are hard to monitor and record, especially when most monitoring programs overlook the necessity of calculating user input. This input vital order change poor sleeping patterns, as it difficult identify source an individual's problems. tracking software also struggle with lack transparency interactivity leading individuals mistrust results these applications generate or otherwise not feel like insights...
Previous efforts to support creative problem-solving have included (a) techniques (such as brainstorming and design thinking) stimulate ideas, (b) software tools record share these ideas. Now, generative AI technologies can suggest new ideas that might never occurred the users, users then select from or use them even more Here, we describe such a system, Supermind Ideator. The system uses large language model (GPT 3.5) adds prompting, fine tuning, user interface specifically designed help...
Gestures, the visible body movements that are ubiquitous in human behavior, key elements of natural communication. Understanding them is fundamental to designing computing applications with more forms interaction. Both sign languages and everyday gestures reveal rich signal capacity this modality. However, although research developing at fast pace, we still lack in-depth understanding create underlying symbolic signals. This partly due tools for studying communicative context. We introduce a...
Many chronic diseases and common risks to elderly patients can be assessed treated through standardized training rehabilitation programs. Unfortunately, there is a need make risk assessment preventative care for the more easily accessible as many programs either use specialized hardware or require human supervision. We seek reduce barrier entry portable application which enables fall prevention anywhere. Our work leverages latest in machine learning computer vision, accomplishing pose...
Electronic medical records (EMRs) are changing the way physicians work and how staff care for patients. While their widespread adoption promise many benefits computationally powerful features end users, they may also carry with them other unintended troubling consequences. As par

Now, generative AI technologies can suggest new ideas that might never occurred the users, users then select from or use them even more To explore possibilities, we developed a system called Supermind Ideator uses large language model (LLM) adds prompts, fine tuning, specialized user interface in order help...
