CS-HCI Interactive Health Reading List

This list covers literature that presents a diverse set of perspectives at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction and Health, drawn from the rich and diverse faculty at the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech. It is aimed at introducing our students exploring research at this intersection to work on personal/public/environmental/global health, undertaking different methods/epistemological approaches, investigating the role of different types of technologies, spanning different research communities, and covering a wide range of health conditions. This list will be reviewed and possibly updated once a year. 

Faculty included: Alex Adams, Rosa Arriaga, Shaowen Bardzell, Michael Best, Munmun De Choudhury, Josiah Hester, Jennifer Kim, Naveena Karusala, Neha Kumar, Cindy Lin, Andrea Parker, Thomas Plötz
