Research Track: Information Technology in Healthcare / *Minitrack*: *Seniors'
Use of Health Information Technology*

Dear Colleagues,

We invite papers that address the grand challenge of aging societies by
providing insights and suggesting solutions: How can health information
technology, including electronic health (eHealth) and mobile health
(mHealth) be used to help to provide health related services for an
increasingly elderly generation?

Although contemporary technologies aim to assist people in health-related
aspects they often do not meet the specific needs and requirements of
seniors. Hence, it becomes important to understand how and why elderly
people interact with technology and how adequate tools and systems must be
designed for this growing segment.

This minitrack is open to a broad variety of research, conceptual or
empirical. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- Age-related digital divide in the IS discipline

- Age-related roles and stereotypes with respect to technology

- Specific IT/IS-adoption patterns of the elderly

- Online and mobile health platforms and communities for seniors

- The impact of e- and m-health, virtual communities, and social media on
the well-being of seniors

- Theories and research frameworks for investigating age-related IS
phenomena

- Methodological challenges of investigating elderly people's technology
usage

- Impact of technology training on technology adoption and usage

- Effective design of technology for elderly people

- Factors influencing technology/e-health/m-health adoption and usage of
seniors

- Technology design factors influencing technology adoption and diffusion
by seniors

- Computer and Internet self-efficacy of seniors

- Technostress of elderly people

- Success factors, barriers and risks of technology adoption by seniors

- Understanding of elderly people's technology needs and requirements

- User interface design, usability and accessibility issues

- Integration of elderly people in the design of technology

- Visions for future technologies for seniors

- Meta-analyses and meta-syntheses of research on elderly people in various
IS phenomena

- Novel and innovative research on technology for seniors

- Trust and distrust of elderly people in e- and m-health

- Changes in personality characteristics and its impact on adoption of
technology
