CALL FOR PAPERS

HICSS Minitrack: *HCI and Consumer Health Informatics *

*HICSS 48- *Kauai, Hawaii - January 5-8, 2015

 A wide range of users are affected by emerging technologies in health care
and a wide range of services these technologies can offer. Health care
professionals and healthcare organizations worldwide are undertaking
massive transformations and additions to their IT infrastructure. Health
care professionals use health technologies to comply with changing
regulations, improve patient care, and provide improved support for office
staff, clinicians, and patients.

There is an enormous wave of new approaches to reach and empower patients
directly through computers and telecommunications systems. Consumer
participation may take place at various points in the care process:
prevention, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and/or maintenance.

This minitrack provides a focused outlet for HCI and consumer health
informatics researchers in healthcare domains to share and discuss the
results of their work. Research is welcomed on any work that focuses on
users (health consumers, medical professionals, and others) and related
usability. Various methodologies (design science, qualitative, and
quantitative work) are welcome.  *The best, completed research papers from
the mini-track will be fast-tracked for publication consideration in the
AIS Transactions on Human Computer Interaction (THCI)
-http://aisel.aisnet.org/thci <http://aisel.aisnet.org/thci/>.*


Broad categories of suitable papers will include:

·         Usability, design, and other HCI issues related to health
technology such as:

·         Personal health record (PHR) and electronic record (EMR)
applications

·         Practice management systems

·         Preventive care systems

·         Public health informatics

·         Electronic medical records applications

·         Innovation of new tools and devices with a strong usability or
HCI consideration

·         Interaction issues in new technologies to empower and inform
health care for consumers

·         Interaction issues in navigating the wealth of health information
on the Internet
