1st EAI International Conference on Wearables in Heathcare June 14-15, 2016 Budapest, Hungary http://healthwearconference.org/2016/show/home
co-located with the eHealth360 summit (http://ehealth360.org/2016/)
*Scope: A variety of relevant health and fitness parameters are now being captured via an ecosystem of consumer-oriented wearable self-tracking devices, smartphone apps and related services. Techniques from information science, sociology, psychology, statistics, machine learning and data mining are applied to analyze collected data. These techniques provide new opportunities to enrich understanding of individual and population health. Self-tracking data can provide better measures of everyday behavior and lifestyle and can complement more traditional clinical data collection, towards a comprehensive picture of health. HealthWear'16 will bring together researchers, developers, and industry professionals from both Healthcare and Quantified Self communities to discuss key issues, opportunities and obstacles for personal health data research. These include challenges of capturing, summarizing, presenting and retrieving relevant information from heterogeneous sources to support a new vision of pervasive personal healthcare.
* Keynote speakers: - Cathal Gurrin from Dublin City University - Hilary Pinnock, University of Edinburgh
*Important dates: Full Paper submission due: 15 January 2016 Tutorial proposals submission: 15 January 2016 Paper Acceptance Notification: 19 February 2016 Tutorial Acceptance Notifications: 28 January 2016 Camera-ready deadline: 18 March 2016 Start of the conference: 14 June 2016 End of the conference: 15 June 2016
* Topics of interest: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Personal Health Informatics - Quantified Self for Healthcare - Activity Monitors and Devices - Self-Tracking - Healthcare Knowledge Representation & Reasoning - Health Data acquisition, analysis and mining - Healthcare Information Systems - Validity, reliability, usability, and effectiveness of Self-Tracking devices - Experiment Design - Social and Psychological investigation into Self-Tracking practices - Health Monitoring in clinical and lifestyle environments - Sensors and actuators for Wellness, Fitness and Rehabilitation - Innovative Algorithms for assessment of long-term physiological and behavioural data - Models for interpreting medical sensor data - Lifelogging, lifecaching, lifestreaming - Biometric data - Medical Self-diagnostics
*Highlights: All accepted papers will be published by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library, one of the world's largest scientific libraries. Proceedings will be submitted for indexing by Google Scholar, ISI, EICompendex, Scopus and many more. Accepted papers after presentation and extension may be invited to be published in either ACM/Springer Mobile Networks & Applications or Journal of Internet Technology. Both of the journals are SCI/SCIE indexed.
* Call for tutorials: The conference calls for tutorials focusing on practical topics related to wearables and healthcare. HealthWear'16 solicits proposals for half-day tutorials that present fundamentals about a frontier topic as well as recent advances in fields mentioned above. It should be interesting for both students and senior researchers. Of particular interest are topics focusing on the practical challenges of the Quantified Seld (QS), such as visualization of QS data, search in this special kind of multi modal data, etc. Details for the submission, here: http://healthwearconference.org/show/cf-tutorials
