Subject: We invite your submission to HICSS: User Experience (UX) In IS for
Health and Wellness Minitrack
To: Rich Burkhard <richard.burkhard at sjsu.edu>


*Please consider sending your submission to the HICSS Minitrack: *

*User Experience (UX) In Information Systems (IS) for Health and Wellness
Minitrack*


Smartphones and a vast array of new wearable devices are empowering
patients and healthcare professionals, and bringing a fundamental shift in
the health monitoring and decision making process, putting the consumers
(patients) in charge. Today’s consumers are less impressed by basic
usability and functionality, and they seek compelling user experiences.



*This minitrack provides an outlet for health and wellness IS research that
includes user experience as a part of the IS concept or evaluation.
Research is welcomed on any work that focuses on engaging and effective
experiences for their intended users (health consumers, patients,
caregivers, medical professionals, and others) using various methodologies
(theory- building, concept testing, qualitative, and quantitative work).*
Research from both industry and academia is encouraged.



The following list provides examples of suitable topics; however,
submissions that fit the general theme of the mini track are not limited to
these topics:

   -

   Analysis, design, development, and evaluation of systems with engaging
   and effective user experiences for health and wellness technologies through
