*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

*Mini-Track Chairs:** * Sweta Sneha - Kennesaw State University - ssneha@kennesaw.edu Virginia Ilie - University of Kansas - vilie@ku.edu Markus Bick - ESCP Europe - markus.bick@escpeurope.de

*Submission Process:* Full paper submissions must be made electronically, through the AMCIS online submission system (_http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2010_ ). Papers will be peer-reviewed using a double-blind review system and will be considered for AMCIS Best Paper Awards.

*Key Dates:** * - Full Papers Due: March 1, 2010 - Notification of Acceptance: April 12, 2010 - Camera Ready Copy Due: April 26, 2010
