Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing complexity of today’s systems makes it more important than ever to put people first, so that no one is left out. The sheer variety of user needs, profiles, backgrounds and interests must be taken into account to succeed in facilitating human interactions with computing devices of all kinds. Many recent trends point to this goal, but rather than highlighting the variety of research topics, at this point we would like to emphasise the importance of one specific application domain: healthcare. Computer-human interaction is of paramount relevance in any context, but specifically healthcare processes and their outputs represent a challenging interplay of huge volumes of critical data, complex workflows, deep hierarchies of public-private organisational structures, and ultimately a wide variety of heterogeneous stakeholders with access to health information systems. These are some of the elements that make up the intricate substrate, and determine the constraints, on which healthcare industry software systems must be developed. In the end, however, it is all about people and there is no single recipe that can help us achieve the best results in all cases. For that reason, in this special issue we are looking for manuscripts that present new insights on computer-human interactions with a focus on the promotion of the healthcare outcomes. The keywords listed below provide an outline of some of the possible areas of interest.
