Workshop: 3rd Graphical and Robotic Embodied Agents for
Therapeutic Systems - GREATS19
OVERVIEW
Social robots and intelligent graphical agents are being applied to a growing number of health applications.
While looking at health applications in general, this workshop seeks to focus on those aimed at diagnosis and treatment of specific conditions,
i.e therapeutic applications, and training for doctors in these fields.
Other topics include the application of specific psychotherapies, work on treating disorders such as autism or ADHD, and support for people with
depression and other long-term conditions.
This workshop will consider both the range of applications, and specific issues and questions arising from them, for example:
|
|
- What features and processes make a therapeutic application
successful?
- What specific issues relate to diagnosis, and what to
treatment?
- How do we measure success?
- How do we deal with the ethical issues in this domain? Should we
be doing this at all?
- Does embodiment and/or its specific form (robotic, graphical,
features) impact success?
- How do we assess the state of the human participant?
- Do specific input modalities or multiple modalities help?
- Definitions of human-ness and AI artefacts
- What are the issues of privacy and security and how to we deal
with them?
- Can therapeutic agents deal with long-term interaction? How?
- Can therapeutic agents help to empower their clients?

work, work-in-progress, position papers, posters, demos. Papers
dealing with therapeutic agents, diagnostic agents and agents for
medical education/training therapists
will be favoured but papers on
other health applications are also welcome. Papers should be
between 2 and 6 pagesin length in the ACM Standard/Sig Conf format also being used by IVA2019 - see
