Human–Computer Interaction for Medicine and Health Care (HCI4MED)

Workshop in the context of BCS HCI 2008, September, 1-5, 2008, Liverpool, John Moores University
http://www.hci2008.org

Organized by

Andreas HOLZINGER, Research Unit HCI4MED, Institute of Medical Informatics, Statistics and Documentation, Medical University Graz, AT
Harold THIMBLEBY, Future Interaction Technologies Laboratory, Department of Computer Science, Swansea University, UK
Russell BEALE, Advanced Interaction Group, School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham, UK

General Theme:

Ensuring good usability can be seen as the key success factor in our digital world: technology must support people. In particular, Medicine and Healthcare are currently subject to exceedingly rapid technological change and because they involve a range of people – technicians, doctors, patients, nurses, managers – the role of usability is of increasing importance. Consequently, Medicine and Healthcare offer great challenges for Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Usability Engineering (UE) research. The optimization of processes and operational sequences is of increasing interest, but we need to ensure that we engineer effective, repeatable solutions as well as understanding the stakeholders and the issues they can and do encounter. It is particularly important for Medical Information Systems (e.g. Hospital Information Systems and Decision Support Systems) to be designed from the perspective of the end users, especially given that this is a diverse set of people.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

+ Formal Methods and Methodologies (incl. Agile Methods);
+ Usability of Medical Information Systems;
+ Human Aspects of Future Technologies in Health Care;
+ Incident Investigation and Safety Issues for Healthcare;
+ Human Error and System Development;
+ Usability and Human Aspects of Medical Informatics;
+ Aspects of Usability in Information Visualization;
+ Usability in Ambient Assisted Living and Life Long Learning;
+ Augmented Cognition (AugCog) in medical workflows etc.;
+ Device design; Collaborative and distributed Health Care;

Special Issue in International Journal of Human-Computer Studies (IJHCS):

IJHCS is a highly prestigious journal in the field of HCI and innovative interactive systems. Articles must be based on original research. The special issue is the primary publication of the BCS HCI 08 Workshop HCI4MED (http://hci4all.at/HCI4MED08.html), but other original articles are strongly encouraged (there will be a separate second call after the workshop). Extended versions of conference papers must contain at least 50% new material. All papers undergo rigorous reviews by at least three independent reviewers. Manuscripts should not exceed 8000 words.

Publication Schedule (updated):

* November, 14, 2008, Friday, Submission deadline to the online EES system of IJHCS, following the author guidelines available at http://ees.elsevier.com/ijhcs
* April, 30, 2009, Thursday, Final notification
* June, 30, 2009, Tuesday, Final Revision due
* Target Publication date: Autumn 2009
