<p class="">A wide range of users are affected
by emerging technologies in health care and a wide range of services these
technologies can offer. Health care professionals and healthcare organizations
worldwide are undertaking massive transformations and additions to their IT
infrastructure. Health care professionals use health technologies to comply
with changing regulations, improve patient care, and provide improved support
for office staff, clinicians, and patients.</p>
<p class="">There is an enormous wave
of new approaches to reach and empower patients directly through computers and
telecommunications systems. Consumer participation may take place at various
points in the care process: prevention, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring,
and/or maintenance.</p><p class="">
This minitrack provides a focused outlet for HCI and consumer health
informatics researchers in healthcare domains to share and discuss the results
of their work. Research is welcomed on any work that focuses on users (health
consumers, medical professionals, and others) and related usability. Various
methodologies (design science, qualitative, and quantitative work) are welcome.
<b>The best, completed research papers from
the mini-track will be fast-tracked for publication consideration in the AIS
Transactions on Human Computer Interaction (THCI) -<a href="http://aisel.aisnet.org/thci/" target="_blank"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none">http://aisel.aisnet.org/thci</span></a>.</b></p>
