CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Recently, machine learning, internet of thing (IoT), artificial
intelligence (AI) has emerged as one of the key technologies to realize
e-health and m-health management in organizations (Agarwal et al., 2010;
Fichman et al. 2011; Haddad et al. 2019). Remarkably, the successful
utilization of mobile and ubiquitous computing technologies provides
acceptable, sustainable, and inexpensive ways for organizations to collect,
store, monitor, and process health-related data (WHO 2019). At the same
time, software and services such as online platform, mobile, and smartwatch
apps, and VR/AR emerged in this context allow organizations and users to
exploit and explore these masses of data and offer them immersive
interactions (Liu et al. 2019; Steinhubl 2013).

There is some early evidence shows that e-health and m-health, in isolation
and in combination, benefit organizations and users in an increasing
variety of aspects such as care provision, chronic disease management,
patient empowerment, information sharing across organizational boundaries
(e.g., Free et al. 2013; Huang et al. 2019). For instance, e-health and
m-health services powered with AI technologies have achieved primary
effects in combatting the emerging COVID-19 coronavirus (Time 2020).
However, the increase in e-health and m-health comes with increased
uncertainties and risks. How to make full use of e-health and m-health in
an efficient, economical, and privacy-preserving manner is still a
fundamental challenge for both academics and businesses. Therefore, we need
more advance methodological, empirical, theoretical, and conceptual
understanding for e-health and m-health management (Chen et al. 2019; Liu
et al. 2019; Gefen et al. 2011; Hair et al. 2019; Shiau et al. 2019; Khan
et al. 2019; Shiau and Chau, 2016).


OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this special issue is to present ideas, innovations, and
applications of utilizing e-health and m-health technologies for improving
the efficiency, sustainability, and reliability of healthcare, and shed
light on how the value from e-health and m-health technologies can be
captured and amplified. We welcome submissions of original manuscripts that
advance methodological, empirical, theoretical, and conceptual
understanding of the opportunities and challenges related to the role of
e-health and m-health and how it can lead to value creation in areas such
as patient empowerment, elderly and chronic disease management, and
epidemics management. Manuscripts must have strong implications for theory
and practice.

RECOMMENDED TOPICS

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

•           Adoption, diffusion, and use of e-health and m-health

•           Organizational, clinical, and financial implications of
e-health and m-health

•           E-health and m-health and their impacts on lifestyle, diets,
and exercise habits

•           E-health and m-health and patient empowerment

•           E-health and m-health and epidemics management (e.g., COVID-19,
Ebola)

•           Elderly healthcare and chronic disease management

•           User-generated content and its impact on healthcare practices
and providers

•           Safety, security, and privacy of e-health and m-health

•           Mobile technology and patient-centered healthcare management

•           Applications of big data, IoT, and AI in healthcare (e.g., to
combat the emerging COVID-19 coronavirus)
