*Researching User Experience and e-Health? Submit to the HICSS Hawaii
conference minitrack on User Experience (UX) In Information Systems (IS)
for Health and Wellness*

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 variety of equipment such as wearable, mobile or hand
held devices, robots, gaming consoles, as well as conventional laptops and
other hardware.
.         Wellness self-monitoring and management systems
.         Home health care devices and applications
.         Social media application (e.g., peer support, information
acquisition)
.         Diagnostic tools
.         Fitness and exercise applications
.         Personal health record (PHR) applications
.         Patient care monitoring systems
.         Media and devices to better enable communication between doctor
and patient
.         Telemedicine devices
.         Systems assisting patients in self-management, maintaining
safety, and communicating with medical professionals
.         Online information sources such as WebMD
.         Preventive care systems
.         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
.         HCI issues in using health technologies across cultures or
geographic regions
