Although Personal Informatics (PI) research continues to expand in the breadth of domains and individual user contexts it covers, there is a paucity of work examining users with motor disabilities. In particular, individuals who sustain a traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) undergo an abrupt and dramatic change that disrupts their lives and impacts how they might use PI tools. AI-driven systems that mediate consequential sense-making, decision-making, coordination, and many other aspects of personal and social lives can enrich the domain of PI with the utility of interactions, personal preferences, contexts, and goals of this population and empower them with control over their own life and reduced cognitive workload. In this workshop paper, we discuss opportunities and challenges for using AI-driven personal informatics to support this population.
