Pei-Yao Hung, Human-Computer Interaction Researcher

Pei-Yao is a Ph.D. candidate in the University of Michigan School of Information, advised by Dr. Mark S. Ackerman. He is a member of the SocialWorlds research group and the Michigan Interactive and Social Computing (MISC) group. His major research interests include Human-Computer Interaction, Computer-Supported Cooperative Work, Ubiquitous Computing and End-User Programming. More specifically, He is interested in the intersection of communities and Ubiquitous Computing where people with diverse background live their lives within a smart environment full of intelligent everyday objects, as it offers a complex and rich illustration of how technology could augment and improve the everyday interaction among people. He received BS and MS in Computer Science and Information Engineering from National Taiwan University, Taiwan, and a MS in Information from the University of Michigan.

Supporting Informal Healthcare Teams at Home

Being seriously injured with neurological impairments, such as spinal cord injuries, might require a team of people (the care team), including family, paid assistants, and clinicians, to assist with everyday activities. We seek to design sensor-based mobile platforms and tools for supporting the collaboration among care team members to achieve desired health outcomes.

Should I Screen? Lung Cancer Screening Decision Aid

Lung cancer has been the leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Screening for lung cancer has only been recommended recently and the benefits, harms, and eligibility criteria, are not well understood by the general public. We designed a dual language (English and Spanish) online decision aid for people and doctors to consult with during the shared decision-making process for lung cancer screening.

Information Translation for Viewpoints on Health Management

Managing health with a chronic condition often involves interaction with family members, neighbors, community health workers, and health professionals, who contribute different viewpoints to help the individuals navigate through all the challenges. We design a video-based mobile platform for people to easily present and understand various viewpoints for managing chronic conditions such as Diabetes.

Discount Expertise Metrics for Augmenting Community Interaction

Expertise identification is important for various kinds of online and offline organizations, with practical applications such as supporting question answering, problem-solving, and team formation. Using developers as the target population, we demonstrate that it is possible to identify novices and experts of programming by examining the types of programming related websites they visit.

Designing Enjoyable Training to Improve Visual-Motor Integration Ability for Preschool Children with Autism

Some children with autism lack visual-motor integration ability. Traditional treatment activities are often time-consuming and thus prevent extensive training. We designed a computer game, called CuttingGame, to create a playful experience that both assesses and trains children in visual-motor integration to assist occupational therapists and the children.
