Abstract:
The study of information technology has given insufficient focus to a) the structural factors and b) the community
perspective. As information systems become increasingly integrated with human systems these wider
influences are more important than ever. Human city interaction concepts including their interplay with cyber-physical
systems and social computing are appropriated to healthcare. Through Structuration Theory, insights
are given into how healthcare through the human city interaction lens can most effectively be improved.
