Mobile Health Technologies, Applications and Integrated Systems for Chronic Disease Monitoring and Management

Special Session Call for papers

'E-health' is around for more than a decade. Now the world is fast moving towards Mobile Health applications. The previous years' advances in telecommunications, smart textiles and intelligent clothes, miniaturised sensors, vital signs monitoring, activity recognition, and advancements in real-time detection of crucial health events and markers have paved the way for future promising applications in mobile health which support the patient, the caregiver and the treating physicians. The goal of this session is to present recent advances in mobile health technologies and applications for chronic disease monitoring and management. This session will be an opportunity to bring together a community of academicians, researchers, computer scientists, physicians, engineers, biomedical engineers, medical device and sensor manufacturers, health and mobile application developers, and the medical healthcare industry to share points of views and discuss emerging and future tools for mobile applications in chronic disease management. Authors are invited to submit their research contributions or practical experience reports. All papers will be peer reviewed by at least two referees.
