    Call For Papers - CFP

    There is an increasing number of research initiatives that utilize modern technology in order to support patients in maintaining or regaining a healthy mental state. Advanced technological solutions have been exploited for treating depression, anxiety disorders, and for coping with stress. This is of utmost importance to provide people with higher quality of life and also to shift a part of monitoring tasks from therapists and caregivers to unobtrusive technological systems. Effort have started with Internet-based self-help therapies, but since recently systems make increasingly use of ambient intelligence, pervasive computing, smart phones and sensor systems. Their shared goal is to provide effective solutions for improving mental health.

    This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from both psychological and technological fields (such as computer science, artificial intelligence, information systems) that share the same interest of strengthening or maintaining mental health. The goal of MindCare workshop is to exchange ideas aiming to support synergy of the two domains for further progress in this field.
