As a Ph.D. level UX researcher, I specialize in conducting research and implementing advanced techniques to develop and maintain healthcare apps. Specifically, I focus on fine tuning language models and implementing the model to develop healthcare apps. Some representative projects include:
- Living Memory Home (Funded by NIMH R21, US/CHI’19): a natural language processing system that can detect suicidal ideation among mourners by analyzing their text entries.
- P2S (Best Poster Paper in IUI 2023): a peer-based recommendation algorithm that matches people with similar mental health concerns to promote mutual support.
- EmplifAI (Awarded Young Researcher Grant 2023 from JSPS, Japan): an empathetic chatbot that provides medical advice and support to cancer survivors in an emotionally sensitive manner.
- Here/Hear (Awarded 2022 Meta AR/VR Policy Research Grant): a metaverse experience designed for visually impaired users.
