Workshop on designing the future of mobile healthcare support

This workshop aims to discuss and develop ideas on how healthcare services, mobile technologies, and visual analytics techniques can be leveraged and contribute to new ways of mobile healthcare supportive system designs. Designing contemporary mobile support systems for healthcare support requires a clear understanding of information requirements, behaviors and basic needs of users. Design must take into account the challenges of human-device interactions in the healthcare environment; the extension of the care environment beyond the institutional setting and the engagement of patients, facility residents and families in an extended circle of care; and issues of formal and informal data sharing and privacy. This workshop invites researchers and designers working in relevant fields to discuss, compare, and demonstrate effective design approaches that can be adopted to improve the designs of mobile support systems for interactive visualization in healthcare.
