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
* Technology design factors influencing technology adoption and
diffusion by seniors
* Computer and Internet self-efficacy of seniors
* Technostress of elderly people
* 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
