Personalizing Personal Health Interfaces: Co-Design with Generative AI

The paper explores how generative AI can lower the barrier to personalizing health dashboards by enabling users to co-design interfaces in Figma Make. In a study with 14 participants, redesigns of Google and Apple Health focused on personal context, future planning, and interactive experiences, though conversational AI designs tended toward chat-window conventions. AI facilitated the materialization of loosely articulated ideas, yet model defaults and generation latency influenced iteration, and the process highlighted interpretability and accountability over privacy, trust, and emotional safety.

CounselReflect: Opportunities and Challenges for Designing Tools to Support Self-Reflection on Mental Health and Well-Being Conversations with AI

The paper introduces CounselReflect, a tool that converts counseling quality metrics into a framework for users to reflect on their mental‑health AI conversations. Through interviews with 21 users, the study finds that while most participants rarely reflect on their interactions, they identify specific questions they would like such a tool to address. The findings also reveal that users tend to confirm existing beliefs and focus on familiar dimensions, highlighting the need for reflection tools to expose blind spots and encourage a more comprehensive examination of AI interactions, especially when revisiting emotionally charged exchanges.
