Call For Papers - CFP
Call for PapersPervasive healthcare is an emerging research discipline, focusing on the development and application of pervasive and ubiquitous computing technology for healthcare and wellness. Pervasive healthcare seeks to respond to a variety of pressures on healthcare systems, including the increased incidence of life-style related and chronic diseases, emerging consumerism in healthcare, need for empowering patients and relatives for self-care and management of their health, and need to provide seamless access for health care services, independent of time and place. Pervasive healthcare may be defined from two perspectives. First, it is the development and application of pervasive computing (or ubiquitous computing, ambient intelligence) technologies for healthcare, health and wellness management. Second, it seeks to make healthcare available to anyone, anytime, and anywhere by removing locational, time and other restraints while increasing both the coverage and quality of healthcare. The Pervasive Healthcare conference aims to gather together technology experts, practitioners, industry and national authorities contributing towards the development and application of human-centered pervasive and ubiquitous computing technology for healthcare and wellness.CONTRIBUTIONSWe seek novel, innovative, and exciting work in areas including but not limited to:TechnologyDesign and evaluation of patient and ambient-related sensorsWearable and implantable sensor integrationSensor networks for pervasive healthcareData fusion in pervasive healthcare environmentsPhysiological models for interpreting medical sensor dataDecision support algorithms for sensor analysisUser NeedsUsability and acceptability issuesSocial implicationsCoverage and delivery of pervasive healthcare servicesDiversity of patients and their specific requirementsTelemedicineApplicationsClinical applications, validation and evaluation studiesPervasive healthcare applications for citizen for chronic disease management & health risk managementHealth promotion, and disease preventionWearable, ambient and home based health and wellness measurement and monitoring technologiesContinuous vs event-driven monitoring of patients in diverse environmentsFeedbackManagement of Pervasive HealthcareBusiness cases and cost issuesElectronic citizen-managed health recordsSecurity and privacy in pervasive healthcareTraining of healthcare professional for pervasive healthcareLegal and regulatory issues in pervasive healthcareInsurance payments and cost aspectsStandards and interoperability in pervasive healthcareUsing mobile devices for healthcare information storage, update, and transmissionTYPE OF SUBMISSIONSPervasive Health will accept submissions in the following categories: 1 Full papers (up to 8 pages submissions) - Full papers are submissions describing results and original research work not submitted or published elsewhere in one of the four main categories listed below. Full papers should properly place the work within the field, cite related work, and clearly indicate the innovative aspects of the work and its contribution to the field. 2 Posters (up to 4 pages submissions) - Authors are invited to submit work in progress whose preliminary results are already interesting to Pervasive Health audience. The poster track will give Pervasive Health attendees a way to learn about ongoing research initiatives and will provide presenters with an excellent opportunity to receive invaluable direct feedback from experts. 3 Demos (2 pages submissions) - For the first time, Pervasive Health Conference proposes a demo track that will showcase the latest developments and prototypes related to the topics of interest of the conference. The expected demo submissions should describe the demo from both, the technical side and its contribution to healthcare aspects. 4 Position Papers (2 pages submissions) - Position papers are envisioned to provide insight into the lessons learnt from current (industrial, practitioners, government, etc.) pervasive healthcare practice. The position papers track is envisioned to provide the view of practitioners to the pervasive health community in order to have a more clear understanding about the real needs of healthcare operators and in this way shorten the gap between technologists and the every-day needs of practitioners. 5 Workshops (2 pages submissions) Several workshops will be run in conjunction with the conference. The purpose of these workshops is to discuss work in progress and explore opportunities for new research related to pervasive healthcare. Proposals for workshops should be submitted directly to the workshops co-chairs.. All accepted submissions will be published in IEEE Xplore Digital Library.IMPORTANT DATESAll Papers Categories Submissions: Notification of Acceptance:Camera-ready Manuscripts due:Conference Dates:December 5, 2008 February 8, 2009 February 27, 2009 April 1 - 3, 2009 December 14, 2008February 11, 2009February 27, 2009April 1 - 3, 2009WORKSHOPSPlease visit the Workshops pages for detailed submission requirements and procedures.SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONSPlease visit the Submission page for detailed submission requirements and procedures.PUBLICATIONPlease visit the Publications page for more information.
