The promise and prospects for mobile technologies in healthcare service delivery—particularly as experienced by patients and other users—are the focus of this forward-looking volume. Its detailed sociotechnical perspective takes in factors influencing patient and provider adoption of technological advances, in addition to the well-known cost and accessibility advantages. Enlightening reports show mobile health technologies in multiple contexts as an impetus for behavioral change, a means of monitoring health changes, a growing trend in service delivery, and an emerging health frontier worldwide. Together, these chapters point to the continued expansion—and global reach—of mobile technology in the next stage of healthcare services. Included in the coverage: Behavior change techniques used in mobile applications targeting physical activity: a systematic review Mobile health integration in pregnancy Unintended users, uses, and consequences of mobile weight loss apps: using eating disorders as a case study Intention vs. perception: understanding the differences in physicians’ attitudes towards mobile health applications HealthGuide: a personalized mobile patient guidance system Adoption of sensors in mobile health Current and Emerging mHealth Technologies is salient reading for researchers interested in mobile health development and implementation as well as technology adoption, and mobile health system developers and managers who are interested in the implications of mobile health use by patients and/or healthcare professionals. It can also be used for courses in technology adoption and health technologies.

A Systematic Literature Review on Health Recommender Systems
Sezgin, Emre; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2013-11-23)
Health Information Systems are becoming an important platform for healthcare services. In this context, Health Recommender Systems (HRS) are presented as complementary tools in decision making processes in health care services. Health Recommender Systems increase usability of technologies and reduce information overload in processes. In this paper, a literature review was conducted by following a review procedure. Major approaches in HRS were outlined and findings were discussed. The paper presented current...
Multi-period appointment planning and scheduling in healthcare.
Bilgiç, Utku Tarık; Batun, Sakine; Department of Industrial Engineering (2019)
Appointment planning and scheduling (APS) plays a crucial role in patient service quality as well as utilization of valuable resources in healthcare. In this study, we considered the integrated problem of appointment planning and scheduling in an outpatient procedure center (OPC) over a planning horizon of multiple periods. We formulated the problem as a two-stage stochastic mixed-integer linear program (SMILP) with uncertainty in surgery durations. The first-stage problem consists of period assignment of s...
Bodily and biosocial user practices in type 1 diabetes management
Kaya, Sezgi; Kaygan, Harun; Department of Industrial Design (2019)
Aside from the integration of digital technologies that made products compact and connected, the changes in healthcare policies redefined the practice of being ill and the patient profile. Medicine became commercialized and directly targeted individuals as potential consumers. Thus, patients are given responsibility for their own bodies. This study is focused on the user practices of self-monitoring devices as a representative example regarding the changes mentioned above. Despite the increasing number of s...
WeCare: Wireless enhanced healthcare
Alemdar, Hande (2010-10-11)
In-home pervasive healthcare systems provide rich contextual information and alerting mechanisms against odd conditions with continuous monitoring. This minimizes the need for caregivers and help the chronically ill and elderly to survive an independent life. In this study, we present a webbased indoor monitoring system, namely WeCare, and showed the applicability of multi-modal sensor network technologies on healthcare monitoring.
