• A Systematic Review and Thematic Analysis of Community-Collaborative Approaches to Computing Research

  CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems · 2022 · 88 citations

  HCI researchers have been gradually shifting attention from individual users to communities when engaging in research, design, and system development. However, our field has yet to establish a cohesive, systematic understanding of the challenges, benefits, and commitments of community-collaborative approaches to research. We conducted a systematic review and thematic analysis of 47 computing research papers discussing participatory research with communities for the development of technological a…

• Grief-Stricken in a Crowd: The Language of Bereavement and Distress in Social Media

  Proceedings of the International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media · 2021 · 84 citations

  Senior authorCorresponding

  People turn to social media to express their emotions surrounding major life events. Death of a loved one is one scenario in which people share their feelings in the semi-public space of social networking sites.

• Supporting Self-Regulation of Children with ADHD Using Wearables

  2020 · 70 citations

  Senior authorCorresponding

  The design of wearable applications supporting children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD) requires a deep understanding not only of what is possible from a clinical standpoint but also how the children might understand and orient towards wearable technologies, such as a smartwatch. Through a series of participatory design workshops with children with ADHD and their caregivers, we identified tensions and challenges in designing wearable applications supporting the self-regulat…

• Digital health interventions for youth with ADHD: A mapping review

  Computers in Human Behavior Reports · 2022 · 57 citations

  Senior authorCorresponding

  Given the growing interest in digital health interventions (DHI) and increasing number of commercial products targeting youth with ADHD, we conducted a mapping review of the current evidence for DHI for children and adolescents with ADHD. To identify DHI designed to support or extend ADHD treatment. Electronic databases (PubMed, ACM Digital Library, and IEEE Xplore) were searched for studies published in English from January 1, 2004, through January 1, 2022. Search keywords included ADHD and ter…
