Ambient Assistive Technologies for Intelligent Healthcare Services

Special Session Call for papers

You are cordially invited to submit your contribution in the Special Session on 'Ambient Assistive Technologies for Intelligent Healthcare Services' organized within the 'International ICST Conference on Wireless Mobile Communication and Healthcare (MobiHealth 2010)'. This Session aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to engage in an in-depth discussion on various research and deployment issues regarding ambient technologies for intelligent healthcare services, pervasive healthcare technologies and applications, services' personalisation and management in assisted living environments, intelligent interactive services environment for assisted living.

We encourage submissions from both academic and industry sector. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Diagnosis & monitoring (follow-up) of chronic diseases
• Interactive Services for Healthcare and Assisted Living
• Technologies to support ambient assisted living
• Networking and Embedded Systems
• Navigation Systems and Location Based Services for Healthcare
• Sensor networks for pervasive healthcare
• Security, privacy and trust in pervasive healthcare
• User needs, usability and acceptability issues
• Wearable, ambient and home based health and wellness measurement and monitoring technologies
