Healthcare systems worldwide face monumental challenges in delivering quality care to an expanding aging population while also grappling with the escalating burden of chronic diseases like diabetes and obesity. These challenges are further compounded by the urgent need to contain rising costs and improve access to care. Moreover, there is a growing emphasis on prevention alongside treatment, underscoring the importance of promoting health-conscious behaviors through computing in peoples’ daily lives. Practitioners, policy-makers, and researchers from various fields, including information systems, computer science, and medicine, widely acknowledge that leveraging data meaningfully is essential to addressing these issues. Indeed, recent advancements in computing technologies, coupled with the abundance of data and the broader scope of artificial intelligence (AI), are often hailed as pivotal in reshaping healthcare for a digital era.
