AIM AND SCOPE 

This workshop aims to convene researchers, practitioners, caregivers, and stakeholders from the fields of human-computer interaction (HCI) and artificial intelligence (AI) to explore the challenges, opportunities, and best practices in leveraging AI to enhance dementia care. The workshop seeks to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, stimulate innovative research, and create actionable insights that advance the development and implementation of human-centered AI technologies. Ultimately, the goal is to improve the quality of life for individuals with dementia and provide robust support for their caregivers through the thoughtful application of AI. 

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.  However, realizing the potential of AI in dementia care necessitates resolving a range of complicated challenges, including ethical considerations, privacy concerns, user acceptance, and the necessity for human-centered design approaches. 

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.
