Dear colleagues, worldwide, healthcare systems are struggling with the monumental challenges of fighting a global pandemic and providing quality care to a growing, aging population, as well as facilitating the monitoring and management of exponentially increasing chronic diseases such as diabetes or obesity while trying to stem exponentially increasing costs. Digital Healthcare Systems (DHS) are expected to deliver a measurable impact on managing these challenges. However, to date, evidence is scarce as to whether Health IT lives up to the promise and the expected benefits from IT have yet to be realized. This track seeks conceptual, empirical and design science research both as full research and research-in-progress papers that enhance our knowledge on all facets of IT in healthcare. We specifically look for papers dealing with
* the challenges of the ageing population * well-being / wellness-tourism / medical-tourism * mobile Health solutions and electronic assists * ideas to deal with pandemics
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Age-related digital divide in the IS discipline
* Age-related roles and stereotypes with respect to technology
* Specific IT/IS-adoption patterns of the elderly
* Online and mobile health platforms and communities for seniors
* The impact of e- and m-health, virtual communities, and social media on the well-being of seniors
* Theories and research frameworks for investigating age-related IS phenomena
* Methodological challenges of investigating elderly people's technology usage
* Impact of technology training on technology adoption and usage
* Effective design of technology for elderly people
* Factors influencing technology/e-health/m-health adoption and usage of seniors

* Success factors, barriers and risks of technology adoption by seniors
* Understanding of elderly people's technology needs and requirements
* User interface design, usability and accessibility issues
* Integration of elderly people in the design of technology
* Visions for future technologies for seniors
* Meta-analyses and meta-syntheses of research on elderly people in various IS phenomena
* Novel and innovative research on technology for seniors
* Trust and distrust of elderly people in e- and m-health
* Changes in personality characteristics and its impact on adoption of technology
