HAID: Human-AI Interaction for Dementia Care

Paper in proceeding, 2024

Caring for individuals living with dementia can be a challenging and emotionally taxing experience, especially for caregivers who are often spouses or partners. Many caregivers lack prior experience in providing care and would greatly benefit from training and support. With the advancements in AI techniques, human-centered AI interaction approaches have shown promise in enhancing dementia care. As the 1st edition, this workshop focuses on the intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI) and artificial intelligence (AI) to address the unique challenges associated with dementia care. Dementia presents multifaceted cognitive and emotional hurdles, and the workshop aims to explore how AI technologies can improve the quality of life for individuals with dementia while also supporting their caregivers. By bringing together researchers, practitioners, caregivers, and stakeholders, the workshop seeks to foster collaboration and innovation in the design, development, and implementation of human-centered AI solutions for dementia care.
