Shaan Chopra

I'm a 4th-year PhD student in Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington, advised by James Fogarty and Sean Munson. I conduct research at the intersection Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Health to create inclusive technologies that help people better understand, experiment, and make decisions based on personal health data. My work focuses on:

• Health Equity & Community-Based Health: I conduct community-based research, study topics that carry stigma (e.g., menstrual & reproductive health, fertility disorders, child developmental screening), and work on improving representation of underserved populations in clinical research and trials.

• Personal Data Use in Clinical Settings: I work in clinical health settings to examine patient-provider engagement around health data, leverage self-tracking data to support provider-based clinical care decisions, and design interfaces to support patient-side self-experimentation and sense-making.

• AI & Personal Informatics: I examine, design, and develop functionalities that leverage AI for supporting self-tracking processes (e.g., decisions to track, sense-making and reflection), goal evolution, and behavior change in personal health contexts.
