About this volume
Human-centered design for care, health, and well-being

Digital health
Patient portals, health apps, remote care, AI-enabled tools, medical devices, and health technology infrastructure.
Equity and well-being
Accessibility, public health communication, inclusive care, caregiver experiences, and human-centered well-being.
Contributor expectations

We are seeking substantial, chapter-length contributions similar to the first volume. Chapters may draw on research, case studies, applied practice, clinical or public health experience, professional practice, or cross-sector perspectives.
Contributions should connect clearly to usability, accessibility, UX, HCI, or human-centered design within the theme of health and well-being.
