<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333">In the wake of the 21st century healthcare systems around the globe are faced with the aggravating challenge of providing quality healthcare to an aging populace, exponential rise in healthcare costs
(approximately 17% of GDP in US), and limited human resources. Mobile health (mHealth), and medical apps open the door to the possibility of pervasive anytime, anywhere, and for anyone delivery of healthcare services. Moreover, this mini track is consistent
with the conference theme of "blue ocean" given that the use of mobile solutions to deliver superior healthcare indeed represents a new , evolving and uncharted ocean for healthcare researchers. Despite the potential for far reaching impacts of mHealth, challenges
lies in realizing the vision. The objective of this mini-track is to address these challenges by soliciting work-in-progress and completed research papers covering technical, organizational, behavioral, economical, and managerial perspectives on mobile apps,
mHealth, and similar electronic healthcare (eHealth) solutions that (1) assess infrastructure issues supporting mHealth, (2) propose and/or evaluate the design, development, and implementation of successful mHealth applications, (3) assess the impact of mHealth
applications on patients, providers, healthcare organizations, and society in general, (4) develop theories to better understand the phenomenon of mHealth and eHealth, and (5) evaluate key barriers and facilitators such as policy, compliance with standards,
as well as privacy and security requirements.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
