Imagine if our health status can be constantly monitored whilst
doing our daily routine, imagine if we can be alerted of a
subtle abnormality with our heart while we asleep, and imagine
if we can be advised of a potential life-threatening disease
without the need to see a physician, and finally imagine if all
of these had already been possible, how many lives could have
been saved. These are not myths in fact with the advent of
pervasive computing and ambient intelligence, the notion of
"anytime" and "anywhere" healthcare/medicine monitoring and
management, which is coined as Pervasive Healthcare, can be
realized anytime sooner. Pervasive Healthcare is predominantly
supported by miniaturized mobile or embedded information and
communication technologies with some degree of "intelligence"
and advanced user interfaces.
Pervasive Healthcare is at the forefront of research, and
presents the ways in which mobile, sensor, embedded and wireless
technologies can be used to deliver the potential of pervasive
healthcare. This potential includes prevention, abnormalities
detections, short-term monitoring (home healthcare monitoring),
long-term monitoring (nursing home), personalized healthcare
monitoring, mobile health monitoring, remote monitoring and
diagnosis, fall-detection and management, assisted applications,
drugs transportation and treatment, to name a few.
In achieving this potential, it is imperative to consider the
systems, applications, algorithms, logical models, solution
architectures and the associated devices and communications
technology. Importantly, this attempt comes with issues,
requirements, and challenges that must be addressed in order to
orchestrate various technological advanced devices and drive
them to work intelligently and seamlessly together to eventually
make systems and services that help majority of the worlds
population.
There are two key perspectives of Pervasive Healthcare, one
being the domain of application of enabling technologies and the
other being the concept that integrates healthcare more
seamlessly to our everyday life. Pervasive Healthcare will
essentially lead to a radical change from doctor centric to
patient centric models.
The objective of this workshop is to bring a high-level
international forum for academics, engineers, scientists,
researchers and research scholars to address the challenges and
discuss opportunities to explore new research directions and
develop new ideas by soliciting work in progress and completed
research papers covering the state of the art in pervasive
computing, systems, services, applications, technologies and
intelligence for healthcare. The topics of interest include but
are not limited to the following:
- Pervasive healthcare systems
- E-Health and IT in healthcare
- Wireless and mobile health technologies
- Wireless and mobile health monitoring
- Medical decision support systems
-
Ad hoc networks for health monitoring
- Assisted technology and application
- Mobile mash-up for pervasive healthcare
- Web-based systems for pervasive health monitoring
- Context and situation awareness in healthcare
- Data management and solution architecture for Pervasive
Healthcare
- Monitoring of mental health, medication and disability
- Incentives models in wireless health monitoring
- Data stream and mining in pervasive healthcare
- Machine learning and pattern recognition/mining of large
continuous pervasive data sets
- Intelligent systems for healthcare
- Pervasive healthcare management
- Security and privacy in pervasive healthcare
- Cognitive sensor networks for ubiquitous healthCare
- Multi-sensor data fusion for body sensor networks
- Wearable bio motion sensors and applications to monitor
human activity
- Middleware for wireless body sensor networks

PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINE
==========================
Authors are invited to submit research contributions
representing original,
previously unpublished work. Please follow the following
guidelines when
preparing your manuscript for review.
Write your original research in up to 6 pages (including all
tables,
figures and references) ensuring that they are formatted in
accordance
with IEEE Computer Society's guidelines. Please ensure the
manuscript
paper size is A4 (210x297mm or 8.27x11.69in). Please visit
http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting
for detailed paper
formatting instructions. All accepted papers will be published
in IEEE
Proceedings (CPS) and available in IEEE Xplore Digital
Library.
Submit your paper using the EasyChair online submission system
on or before
the paper submission deadline. The link for the submission to
PerSysInCare
2012 is
https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=persysincare2012.
Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on
originality, significance,
technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. All papers
will be refereed by
at least three members of the program committee. You will
receive an e-mail
notification of the outcome of this review.
Best Papers from PerSysInCare 2012 will be nominated to submit
an extended version
for consideration in a special issue in Mobile Information
Systems (IOS Press -
impact factor 1.3; indexed by SCIE).
