This CHI 2014 workshop will focus on how to design, build and study persuasive technologies that can be adapted to meet the individualized needs of target users. The goal of this workshop is to connect the diverse group of behavior change researchers and practitioners interested in personalization to share their experiences, ideas, and discuss how to move the field forward. We will identify the key challenges in this area and brainstorm solutions to tackle these issues. Discussion and ideas generated from this workshop will be archived online to be available to the larger research community. This workshop ties into a number of special interests for the CHI community, including health, sustainability, intelligent user interfaces, serious games, and persuasive technology. 

This workshop date is April 27, 2014.
