The ACM Interactive Health Conference (IH) is a new conference that aims to be the leading venue for presenting work at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Health. The conference will welcome all kinds of work in this space, including but not limited to: the study of health practices; the development of methods and theories for engaging users and creating human-centered health technologies; or the design, evaluation, and implementation of health technologies to support health and well-being.

The organising team is extremely excited to bring IH to life. The HCI community has been discussing the possibility of creating a conference bridging HCI and Health for many years at the Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI) of the ACM – the largest association of computing researchers and professionals.

We hope you have a chance to submit your work and join us at the inaugural ACM Interactive Health Conference in Porto, Portugal. You will be joined by researchers, designers, practitioners, healthcare professionals, and patients to reflect and discuss emerging challenges and opportunities across the social-technical ecosystems of health and well-being.
