In recent years, the medical informatics community has begun to
recognize human-computer interaction (HCI) and better understanding of
the social and human elements as important to a sound Health IT
strategy. Meanwhile, research in human-computer interaction has found
healthcare a rich and interesting domain of inquiry. Despite this
progress, however, there exists a largely untapped potential to create
deeper and more profound connections among the medical, informatics,
human-computer interaction, medical sociology and anthropology
communities.

The Workshop on Interactive Systems in Healthcare (WISH), co-located
with the ACM CHI 2010 Conference on Human Factors and Computing
Systems, aims to foster conversation and bridge communities. This
workshop will include specialists in medical informatics, nursing
informatics, medical sociology, human-computer interaction, and
related fields.

WISH will have an exciting program, including plenary speakers,
invited panels, and the presentation of peer-reviewed research in the
form of paper presentations and posters. This event is open to the
public, even if you do not submit content for presentation.

We look forward to your submissions, and hope to see you there!
