Patients are increasingly the first source of information and advice for other patients in a new peer-to-peer process in which patients are turning to others like themselves for advice and support and where detailed patient experiences (PEx) are offered online and used to inform health decisions (Sillence & Mo, 2014, Sillence 2010, 2013). In addition patients are increasingly ?life logging? - tracking and monitoring information about their own health, for example, objective data on weight, blood pressure and treatment response, alongside subjective reports of mood and anxiety. Whilst some sites encourage people to share this information (see for example Patients Like Me) little is known about the ways in which people combine all this information and use it to better understand their own condition and importantly make decisions a bout their health and wellbeing. Using a mixed method approach and different patient groups (segmented around, type and stage of disease, level of active management, age and gender) this programme of research aims to understand how the gathering, tracking and exchanging of information and experiences via mobile applications and social media influences health decision making. The project will explore the following questions: ? How are different sources of information (self-collected, GP provided and peer-to-peer) integrated over the longer term and how does this impact upon decision making? ? How does increased awareness and monitoring of health variables affect peoples? attitudes towards their health condition and sense of wellbeing? ? Finally, given the choice agenda within the NHS - ?no decision about me without me?, how do people want to be able to share, view and monitor their health as a way of enhancing their input to the decision making process.

Information plays a key role in today?s world, and many problems require us to use social and collaborative ties to search for and locate information. Examples range from corporate teams doing business intelligence gathering to a couple planning their vacation to a diabetes patient looking for information and support regarding treatment options. The workshop on social and collaborative information seeking (SCIS), sponsored by NSF-sponsored Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science (DIMACS), is designed to bring together scholars from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds who are experts and innovators in studying SCIS, with a goal of outlining a ?research roadmap? of challenges as an outcome of the workshop. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: ? Theories and models for SCIS and related areas such as social search and collaborative search; ? User interfaces, algorithms, and systems for supporting SCIS; ? SCIS applications and use cases in different domains, such as education, healthcare, office work, and intelligence analysis; ? Evaluation measures for SCIS systems; and ? Methodologies for studying SCIS. To participate, please send a short abstract that indicates your interest and/or background relating to SCIS. The abstract should have a title and be no more than 500 words long. It should be submitted as a text/word/pdf file to Chirag Shah (chirags at rutgers.edu ) by March 22, 2015. Accepted participants will be notified by March 29, 2015. The early registration deadline for the workshop is May 7, 2015. See http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/Workshops/SCIS/ for details. We also have small funds available to support student participation in this workshop. If you are a student who wants to be considered for this support, please send your current CV in addition to the abstract. The support will include free registration, food, and limited funds to cover part of travel. The workshop will last 1.5 days, with invited short talks, poster/demo session, and breakout groups to chart research agenda and discuss methods in the area of SCIS. Invited guests include distinguished scholars from industry and academia.
