In this paper, we focus on an emerging strand of IT-oriented research, namely
Human-Data Interaction (HDI) and how this can be applied to healthcare. HDI
regards both how humans create and use data by means of interactive systems,
which can both assist and constrain them, as well as to passively collect and
proactively generate data. Healthcare provides a challenging arena to test the
potential of HDI to provide a new, user-centered perspective on how data work
should be supported and assessed, especially in the light of the fact that data
are becoming increasingly big and that many tools are now available for the lay
people, including doctors and nurses, to interact with health-related data.Comment: 10 pages, 4 Figure
