Adoption and Acceptance of eHealth: Beyond the current state-of-the-art





A workshop, held in conjunction with INTERACT 2017 in Mumbai, India


www.interactehealth.com


25th - 26th September, 2017





Workshop topic:


The main approach taken in adoption and acceptance studies of interactive
health technologies mainly follows a quantitative approach, often based on
theoretical approaches such as the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) or the
Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Such studies
mostly focus on a few, abstract factors, such as ease of use or perceived
usefulness presuming a linear process of acceptance, but fail to give an
in-depth overview of what exactly speeds up adoption and acceptance within
a real-life context, also on the long term. In all, studies that show how
different types of users with different needs and expectations make use of
these technologies in specific healthcare contexts are crucial to inform
the design of new interactive health technologies and their implementation
strategies. The objective of this workshop is to discuss where we are today
on the adoption and acceptance of interactive health technologies and from
this position, define a roadmap to push this field forward.





Call for papers:


The aim of this one-day workshop is to bring together researchers from both
industry and academia to discuss best practices as well as pitfalls of
adoption and acceptance of interactive technologies in healthcare and to
provide the Interact community with guidelines to inform future
developments and implementation of their interactive health systems. We
welcome multi-disciplinary contributions from the many disciplines and
approaches that intersect with interactive health technologies (e.g.
engineering, computer sciences, (interactive) design, sociology,
anthropology, psychology, neurosciences, cognitive sciences, communication
science, cultural studies, nursing, fine and media arts, and law, etc.).
You are welcome to submit a paper on one of the following topics:


* Adoption and acceptance studies of interactive health technologies that
expand upon TAM and UTAUT


* Studies of adoption and acceptance of interactive health technologies
that are based on different models than TAM or UTAUT (e.g., the
Task-Technology Fit Model)


* Qualitative studies of adoption and acceptance of interactive health
technologies


* Longitudinal studies of adoption and acceptance of interactive health
technologies


* Studies that focus on a specific factor that affects adoption or
acceptance of interactive health technologies (e.g., trust, privacy,
control, aesthetics)


* Position papers on the topic of adoption and acceptance of interactive
health technologies





Paper format:


We welcome prospective participants to submit extended abstracts (max. 4
pages) covering any relevant topic (related to the problem statement on the
homepage) addressing the adoption and acceptance of interactive health
technologies. In addition to papers presenting empirical research, we also
welcome papers about new  theoretical perspectives, new methodological
challenges, and design challenges related to interactive health
technologies. The manuscripts should use the conference format. Please
submit a PDF copy of your manuscript to s.benallouch at saxion.nl and
l.vanvelsen at rrd.nl
