MUST-EH 2011 - 1st IEEE International Workshop on Multimedia Services and Technologies for E-health (MUST-EH 2011)

Today multimedia services and technologies play an important role in providing and managing e-health services to anyone, anywhere and anytime seamlessly. These services and technologies facilitate doctors and other health care professionals to have immediate access to e-health information for efficient decision making as well as better treatment. Researchers are working in developing various multimedia tools, techniques and services to better support e-health initiatives. In particular, works in e-health record management, elderly health monitoring, real-time access of medical images and video are of great interest.

This workshop aims to report high quality research on recent advances in various aspects of e-health, more specifically to the state-of-the-art approaches, methodologies and systems in the design, development, deployment and innovative use of multimedia services, tools and technologies for health care. Authors are solicited to submit complete unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to:

Serious Games for health
Haptics for Surgical/medical Systems
Adaptive exergames for health
Multimedia Enhanced Learning , Training & Simulation for Health
Sensor and RFID technologies for e-health
E-prescribing
Medication adherence
Wearable health monitoring
Health record management
e- health service management
Context-aware e-Health services and applications
