Human-Computer Interactions in E-health

Dear Colleagues,

This special journal issue is a scientific and multidisciplinary journal that aims to study the healthcare system from the perspective of human–computer interactions. Healthcare services tend to rely more on information technology (IT) and healthcare using IT technology, which can provide high efficiency, accessibility, and quality health services. Therefore, it is essential to develop a healthcare system that can provide a more user-friendly and high-level user experience through the efficient use of IT technology.

The journal covers all healthcare topics studied from the HCI perspective, including e-health, healthcare systems, healthcare services, medical systems, internet healthcare, mobile health, telehealth, health informatics, medical service/systems, rehabilitation and musculoskeletal disease. In addition, it covers various user groups (e.g., patients, medical staff, patients with chronic diseases, the elderly, the disabled, etc.) and various devices (e.g., wearable, computer, mobile devices, robots and exoskeletons).

In detail, this Special Issue includes the following research topics:

- A study evaluating/improving existing healthcare systems from the HCI perspective;

- Research on the development/design of new systems, including the HCI perspective;

- Research on the visualization of data collected from healthcare;

- Robotics research to improve musculoskeletal disorders;

- Review articles related to e-health.

In addition to this, if it is a healthcare study using digital technology, all topics are welcome.
