AIxHealth at Interactive Health: Fostering a Global Research-Practice Collective on Responsible AI and Health Equity

The Interactive Health (IH) Conference aims to foster a community of researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Health. In line with this vision, we propose a workshop that builds on our ongoing initiative, the AIxHealth Research to Impact Collaborative, which seeks to cultivate a global, interdisciplinary community of researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Health Equity, with the goals of enabling critical reflection, collaboration, and resource-sharing. Through this workshop, we aim to join hands with the IH community, which will allow us to expand the AIxHealth community and continue working on key goals, such as co-creating a research agenda that reflects a collective vision of researchers and practitioners across geographies, while amplifying IH's priorities for global participation. We invite researchers and practitioners working across diverse topics in AI and health, including those engaged in community-driven efforts or adopting critical perspectives, to participate in our discussions, craft a shared research agenda for a responsible integration (or disintegration) of AI in health, and join in our vision of forming and fostering the AIxHealth collective.
