> According to the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics, a disease is
> chronic when its course lasts for more than three months. Chronic diseases,
> such as diabetes, asthma, heart diseases, Parkinson, and Alzheimer’s,
> persist an entire lifetime and generally cannot be prevented by vaccines or
> cured by medication (Adams, Kirzinger, & Martinez, 2013). Recurrent
> illnesses and conditions caused by chronic diseases, if not managed
> carefully, cannot only diminish quality of life, but can also result in
> health emergencies, complications, and even death (World Health
> Organization, 2015). According to World Health Organization (WHO), chronic
> diseases are the leading cause of mortality worldwide, and 80% of chronic
> disease deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries.
> 
> 
> Advancing patients’ ability to engage in self-managed health through
> information and communication technologies (ICTs), such as mobile
> technologies and machine learning, is increasingly a top priority (e.g.,
> The National Health Service, 2013, The Office of the National Coordinator
> for Health Information Technology, 2014). Effective self-management is a
> proven way of improving the lives of individuals suffering from chronic
> diseases. Self-management refers to a care management approach in which
> patients actively take responsibility for treating their chronic diseases
> (Bodenheimer et al., 2002). It is a self-regulating, dynamic, continuous,
> interactive process (Schulman-Green et al., 2012). Despite technological
> advances in healthcare ICTs that improve care and reduce costs, patients
> often avoid using them (El-Gayar, Timsina, Nawar, & Eid, 2013). Although,
> ICTs have improved the health in healthcare services in terms of the
> delivery of high-quality patient care at low cost, but the development of
> ICTs that focus chiefly on patient-centered care is still in its infancy
> (Jacelon, Gibbs, & Ridgway, 2016).
> 
> 
> With that in mind, we are looking for papers taking a variety of approaches
> to answering research questions related to the design, development, and use
> of ICTs on patient-centered care. Such approaches might be described as
> experiments or quasi-experiments, case studies, surveys, action research,
> psychometrics, and ethnography. We also welcome studies that are grounded
> in theory and which studies that utilize second-generation multivariate
> statistical techniques.
> 
> 
> Authors are invited to submit papers that address issues related to the
> design, development, and implementation of ICTs in self-management of
> chronic diseases and conditions. Potential issues and topics include, but
> are not limited to:
