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
