Mini-Track Description / Call for Papers

In the wake of the 21st century healthcare systems around the globe are faced with the aggravating challenge of providing quality healthcare to an aging populace, exponential rise in healthcare costs (approximately 17% of GDP in US), and limited human resources. Mobile health (mHealth), and medical apps open the door to the possibility of pervasive anytime, anywhere, and for anyone delivery of healthcare services. Moreover, this mini track is consistent with the conference theme of "blue ocean" given that the use of mobile solutions to deliver superior healthcare indeed represents a new , evolving and uncharted ocean for healthcare researchers. Despite the potential for far reaching impacts of mHealth, challenges lies in realizing the vision. The objective of this mini-track is to address these challenges by soliciting work-in-progress and completed research papers covering technical, organizational, behavioral, economical, and managerial perspectives on mobile apps, mHealth, and similar electronic healthcare (eHealth) solutions that (1) assess infrastructure issues supporting mHealth, (2) propose and/or evaluate the design, development, and implementation of successful mHealth applications, (3) assess the impact of mHealth applications on patients, providers, healthcare organizations, and society in general, (4) develop theories to better understand the phenomenon of mHealth and eHealth, and (5) evaluate key barriers and facilitators such as policy, compliance with standards, as well as privacy and security requirements.

Potential Topics:

We encourage information systems researchers submit papers on digital forensic topics including, but not limited to:

Internet and networked solutions for superior healthcare delivery

Evaluation of mobile apps, including but not limited to, compliance with FDA, HIPAA, and other regulatory requirements

Techniques such as genetic algorithms and machine learning to address privacy, security, and data accuracy issues with mobile apps

Technology use to better manage healthcare data/information/knowledge

Integration of EHRs/EMRs and doctor portals with mobile devices

Management of information and knowledge in integrated mobile healthcare systems

Design, development, adoption and diffusion of mHealth applications

Designing healthcare organizations, systems and processes to incorporate mHealth/eHealth solutions

Mobile solutions for chronic disease management

mHealth and emergency and disaster relief

mHealth and Meaningful Use

Medical Apps

Evaluation and assessment of mHealth solution

mHealth combined with eHealth

Tele-health in combination with mobile health



Warm Regards,
