Moving beyond e-health and the quantified self: The role of CSCW in collaboration, community and practice for technologically-supported proactive health and wellbeing

Abstract

What is the role of CSCW as methodology and epistemology in the development of interactive technology for Proactive Health? Does CSCW have a particular research contribution to make to the critical and timely development of re-designing our cultures to support health as a social good rather than as a medical condition? This workshop proposes to dedicate its two days to explore these questions, in order to: 1) Produce a draft research agenda for CSCW challenges related to Proactive Health. 2) Develop a near and longer term set of objectives to deliver on this agenda.
