2nd Call for Papers
AMCIS 2010: August 12 - 15, 2010
Track: IT in Healthcare
Minitrack: Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing in Healthcare
Description:
Healthcare is the most apt domain for the application of ubiquitous
technologies.
The essence of "Ubiquitous Healthcare" lies in the creation of
an environment where healthcare is available to everyone, everywhere
without
any dependence on time and location and where technologies enabling
ubiquitous
healthcare would not only be pervasive but also be assimilated
flawlessly
in the daily lives.
Ubiquitous healthcare involves a paradigm shift in healthcare,
practices,
delivery, and view. Enabling this paradigm shift will lead to
personalizing
and consumerizing healthcare and flawlessly assimilating the
technologies
into the patient’s home such that concurrent prevention, diagnosis, and
treatment can occur. This transformation implies technical applications
of consumer-operated interoperable standard technologies for
maintaining
health and wellness by leveraging technologies supporting ubiquitous
communication,
computing, and intelligent user-friendly interfaces such as: PDAs,
mobile
phones, etc. At the level of the healthcare organization, ubiquitous
healthcare
will lead to a change from doctor centric systems to patient centric
operational
models.
Although promising, there are myriad challenges associated with
realizing
the vision of ubiquitous and pervasive healthcare.
The objective of the 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 ubiquitous and pervasive computing in
healthcare
that: (1) study the development of ubiquitous computing, ubiquitous
communication,
and, intelligent interfaces and infrastructure supporting ubiquitous
healthcare,
(2) propose and/or evaluate the design, development, and implementation
of ubiquitous healthcare applications, (3) assess the impact of
ubiquitous
healthcare applications on patients, doctors, healthcare organization,
and society in general, and (4) develop theories to better understand
the
emerging phenomenon of ubiquitous healthcare.
Possible topics could include but are not limited to the following:
- Business models and strategic applications of ubiquitous healthcare
- Definition and conceptual models/framework of ubiquitous and
pervasive
healthcare
- Design, development, implementation, and/or evaluation of novel
ubiquitous
healthcare applications and services
- Design and development of emerging technologies supporting ubiquitous
healthcare
- Factors impacting usability, user-acceptance, adoption, and diffusion
of ubiquitous healthcare applications and services
- Impact of usage of ubiquitous healthcare applications on patients,
doctors,
healthcare organization, and society in general
- Privacy, security, and trust issues with adoption and usage of
ubiquitous
healthcare applications and services
- Theory and model development focusing on the role of ubiquitous
computing
in healthcare
