Overview
The rapid developments and advances of technologies in low energy wireless communications, sensor miniaturization and data analysis in the cloud, have paved the way to innovation in digital health using wearable technology for improved health outcomes. More specifically we are witnessing an increased adoption of wearable and mobile devices in remote care and preventive digital health programs. In this special issue, we solicit novel papers that focus on how we might improve and augment our ability to proactively manage our health and wellbeing:
- What is the role played by emotion, intention, motivation, cognitive load, fatigue and stress in proactive management of health? How might we support these factors using wearable & mobile computing?
- How might we effectively influence behavioural changes for long term improvement of health and wellbeing outcomes? What are the factors that influence adherence to healthy life style? How might we address the adherence issue using wearable and mobile computing? What deep personalisation could be enabled by these technologies?
- What interfaces and interactions principles should be used when designing wearable solutions for health and wellbeing? How would a virtual coach/a chatbot would interact with us to keep us on track?
- How might we address the reliability issue of the data collected? How might we account for errors in data collection, missed data etc.?
This special issue targets contributions in design principles, data analysis, behavioural change nudging techniques in the study of use cases of wearable and mobile computing to augment people awareness and proactive management of their health and wellbeing. The primary objective is to foster focused attention in this emerging area and to serve as forum for researchers all over the world to exchange and discuss the latest advances. High quality research papers that have a user-centric and/or engineering element are welcome for submission. Theoretical papers, essays, or review papers will only be considered in exceptional cases. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and papers will be selected based on their quality and relevance to the theme of this special issue.
Topics considered for this special issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Design principles and guidelines for wearable and mobile systems
- Design principles and guidelines for wearable and mobile devices
- Case studies and user studies
- Novel interaction methods for wearable and mobile devices
- Evaluation metrics and methodologies
- Novel data collection and analytics methods, frameworks and systems
- Human-machine interfaces, frameworks and reference models
