Healthcare Participation
Contact Ben Shneiderman at ben@cs.umd.edu
for more information
The proliferation of inexpensive mobile devices,
in-home medical appliances, and personal health record
keeping is rapidly increasing the role of people in
their healthcare and wellness monitoring. This workshop
will promote improvement to the usability aspects of
existing interfaces, help identify best practices, and
promote consistency across devices. The goals are to
encourage awareness of lifestyle changes, improve
treatment compliance, facilitate data transfer to
healthcare team members, and demonstrate appropriate
information visualizations. Researchers and developers
are invited to present their work.
