Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The TEHI (Trends in Electronics and Health Informatics, https://www.tehi.one/) conference series is being developed in view of being the world's premier creative research forum on electronics and health informatics. This is an emerging interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research field comprising combined contributions from artificial intelligence and soft computing, healthcare information, IoT and data analytics, electronics and communication technology. The conference is organized by IIOIR (www.iioir.org), and its objective is to bring together researchers, educators, and business professionals involved in related fields of research and development. The associated Special Issue is to be published by Information, a journal published by MDPI that covers the above topics in addition to all special features covered in the TEHI conference series. Interested authors can submit their manuscript directly to Information or via the dedicated website for TEHI, whereby all publications that are part of this conference Special Issue will be entitled to a 30% discount.

Authors of invited papers should be aware that the final submitted manuscript must provide a minimum of 50% new content and not exceed 30% of content directly taken from the Proceedings paper.

Big data applications are at the epicentre of recent breakthroughs in digital health. However, controversies over privacy, security, ethics, accountability, and data governance have tarnished stakeholder trust, leaving health-relevant big data projects under threat, delayed, or abandoned. Taking the notion of big data as social construction, this work explores the social representations of the big data concept from the perspective of stakeholders in Kenya’s digital health environment. Through analysing the similarities and differences in the way health professionals and information technology (IT) practitioners comprehend the idea of big data, we draw strategic implications for restoring confidence in big data initiatives. Respondents associated big data with a multiplicity of concepts and were conflicted in how they represented big data’s benefits and challenges. On this point, we argue that peculiarities and nuances in how diverse players view big data contribute to the erosion of trust and the need to revamp stakeholder engagement practices. Specifically, decision makers should complement generalised informational campaigns with targeted, differentiated messages designed to address data responsibility, access, control, security, or other issues relevant to a specialised but influential community.
