Human-Centered AI and the Future of Digital Healthcare

Plenary Keynote Summary

Healthcare is undergoing a transformation from episodic treatment to continuous, personalized, and proactive care. At the center of this transformation lies the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI), digital health technologies, and human-centered systems design. In this keynote, Dr. Farzan Sasangohar will explore how human-centered AI can support continuous monitoring and self-management of mental health and chronic conditions. Through examples from interdisciplinary research and applied healthcare innovation, the talk will highlight the development and evaluation of AI-enabled digital interventions designed to enhance accessibility, engagement, personalization, and clinical impact. The presentation will examine how intelligent systems can leverage wearable sensing, behavioral data, and adaptive analytics to provide real-time insights, personalized recommendations, and proactive support while maintaining usability, trust, and patient autonomy. Key challenges, including ethical AI, implementation barriers, privacy, explainability, and integration into healthcare workflows, will also be discussed. By bridging human factors engineering and AI, this keynote will outline a vision for the next generation of healthcare systems: systems that continuously support individuals, adapt to their needs, and place humans at the center of technological innovation.
