PerHealth 2010 - The First IEEE PerCom Workshop on Pervasive Healthcare
in conjunction with the
Eighth IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and
Communications - PerCom 2010 (http//www.percom.org/)
Mannheim, Germany
March 29 or April 2, 2010
----------------------------------------------------------
**** Paper Submission Deadline --- October 18, 2009 ****
Sponsored by
IEEE, IEEE Computer Society
----------------------------------------------------------
Pervasive Healthcare constitutes one of the most promising and technically challenging application domains for pervasive computing. It involves many research areas, from wearable computing and ubiquitous connectivity to context-awareness, sensor data fusion, artificial intelligence, expert systems, medical analytics, databases and user-friendly interfaces.
While significant technological progress has been achieved in the past few years, further work is needed to develop complete systems that can really improve the patient quality of life and reduce medical errors and costs. First of all, an efficient, reliable, and complete pervasive healthcare system must satisfy both medical and patient requirements in terms of accuracy, reliability, unobtrusiveness and user acceptance. To do this, a multidisciplinary approach is necessary starting from the integration of new wearable technologies in a single Body Area Network to the design and development of system architectures and middleware solutions able to
support efficient and dependable services like continuous remote monitoring,
patient tracking, and ambient assistance. The IEEE PerHealth workshop will
provide a forum where researchers in the area of Pervasive Healthcare can discuss
current results in the field and possible hints for future work.
Original contributions are solicited related to all areas involved in the design of
pervasive healthcare systems.
TOPICS
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Wearable and Implantable sensors for healthcare
- Pervasive communications in healthcare
- Service and device discovery
- Data fusion and context elaboration
- Privacy and security issues in healthcare
- Middleware for pervasive healthcare
- Energy Efficiency in health monitoring
- Artificial intelligence and expert systems
- User interface, usability and acceptability of pervasive healthcare systems
- Home monitoring and ambient assisted applications for healthcare
- Healthcare applications for clinicians
- Business Models of Pervasive Health Delivery
- Standards and frameworks
