This workshop is organized to bring together leaders and scientists in a variety of different disciplines with complementary expertise including experts in behavior change theory, health and wellness systems, behavior measurement and measurement technology, engineering, computer science, and various types of "persuasive" interventions. The main objective of the workshop is to identify challenges in using computing and networking and information technology in support of behavioral change that would enable healthcare to be more proactive and preventive. The proposed workshop plans to address a number of open fundamental issues at the intersection of networking, information technology and behavior modification. The workshop is striving to identify the fundamental barriers that currently hamper the use of networking and information technology, how they can be used to mediate processes enabling behavioral change, as well as new methods for the real-time assessment and modeling of behavior, affective states, and the environments in which these behaviors occur. Reactionary "sick-care" systems that fail to prevent disease have become financially unsustainable. It is a global imperative that healthcare is transformed to a preemptive model that advances health "up front." The global burden of disease is tightly related to conditions that are preventable and treatable through promoting changes in key human behaviors. The ability to change behaviors on a population scale, in an economically feasible way, is therefore likely to have a major impact on the cost of healthcare. In addition, healthy behaviors are typically associated with better quality of life and wellbeing.

该研讨会汇集了具有互补专业知识的各种不同学科的领导者和科学家，包括行为改变理论、健康和保健系统、行为测量和测量技术、工程学、计算机科学以及各种类型的“说服性”干预措施方面的专家。 研讨会的主要目标是确定使用计算、网络和信息技术支持行为改变的挑战，从而使医疗保健更加主动和预防。 拟议的研讨会计划解决网络、信息技术和行为矫正交叉领域的一些开放的基本问题。该研讨会致力于找出目前阻碍网络和信息技术使用的基本障碍，如何利用它们来调解实现行为改变的过程，以及对行为、情感状态进行实时评估和建模的新方法。 ，以及这些行为发生的环境。无法预防疾病的反动“疾病护理”系统在经济上已变得不可持续。全球迫切需要将医疗保健转变为“预先”促进健康的先发制人模式。 全球疾病负担与通过促进人类关键行为改变可预防和治疗的疾病密切相关。因此，以经济上可行的方式改变人口规模行为的能力可能会对医疗保健成本产生重大影响。此外，健康的行为通常与更好的生活质量和福祉相关。
