---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Session on Intelligent Humanistic Health-care Technologies
in conjunction with 2nd World Congress on Genetics, Geriatrics and Neurodegenerative Diseasese Research - GeNeDis 2016
October 20-23, 2016, Sparta, Greece

Over the recent years technological advances have re-defined the field of e-health, in terms of related human-oriented applications, services and humanistic data management. New entities such as wearable sensors, sensors connected to the human body or ambient sensors, and sensor network infrastructures have emerged and the notion of assisted living is gaining more and more attention. Modern artificial intelligence and machine learning methodologies in conjunction with other sources or types of information like contextual information are being developed towards this direction. In addition, Internet of Things is growing in an unprecedented manner and related hardware is getting more accurate, more affordable and thus being incorporated in all sorts of e-health objects producing loads of data, while at the same time creates huge opportunities for humanistic data-centric research efforts to evolve. Taking into account the social aspect of the ageing general population and the increasing need for home-based e-health services, it is rather obvious that Intelligent Humanistic Health-care Technologies form a challenging, still applied, research field.
This special session attempts to investigate aforementioned observations from the aspects of sensing and humanistic data collection, related communication technologies, and humanistic data analysis techniques to extract health-relevant information. Its scope is to attract leading research and development approaches contributing to the hot topic of humanistic healthcare. In this sense we are seeking original, high-quality, high-impact research papers on all aforementioned topics, whereas papers will be selected on the basis of novelty, technical merit, presentation and impact.
