As Artificial Intelligence (AI) and sensing technologies become embedded in daily life, their potential to transform care is undeniable. Yet, while these tools promise real-time insights, personalized interventions, and support for behavior change, their adoption seldom addresses the integration of people\u2019s everyday care ecologies and is limited by a focus on privacy, bias, and other ethical challenges. This means that AI-driven health interventions often fall short in proactive care, as they focus on improving technical efficiency but do not guarantee compatibility with lived experiences or provide meaningful insights into them. This workshop critically examines the roles of AI and sensing systems in health and wellbeing, adopting a human-centered perspective to enable proactive care. By convening researchers, designers, and practitioners from HCI, AI, health, and related fields, we will explore strategies to enhance the effectiveness of sensing and AI in proactive care. Our goal is to shape health technologies that prioritize accessibility, inclusivity, and alignment with users\u2019 lived experiences, ensuring ethical and impactful innovations across diverse care contexts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
