CALL FOR PAPERS
----------------
Scope and Topics
----------------
The current technology and communication developments, and the increasing
willingness of people to be involved in making decisions about their health
or disease, have been paving the way for advances in the area of
individualised healthcare. The uncertainty and complexity within this area
require smart solutions and systems, which are capable to interpret
context-specific information concerning the patient and his/her environment.
The aim of this special track is to provide a dedicated platform specifically
designed for computer scientists, clinical informaticists, researchers,
engineers and practitioners to present and discuss their recent work and
innovations in the interdisciplinary area of smart healthcare technologies,
and to consider potential collaborations and future directions for development.
The scientific Program Committee invites participants to submit high
quality papers that describe original and unpublished contributions
covering not only a broad range of current topics of interest but also
innovative and future trends in the development of the emerging field of
individualised healthcare:
o Intelligent care assistants with embedded individualised decision-support
o Context-aware monitoring devices, sensors and networking
o Home-based diagnosis and treatment support
o Utilisation of workflows for remote chronic disease management
o Advanced healthcare services
o Smart mobile health
o Intelligent approaches to healthcare delivery process
o Preventive and health screening services at distance
o Cloud-based/SOA technologies for individualised healthcare
o Individualised user interfaces, visualisation and patient-device interaction models
o Quality evaluation criteria and evidence-based frameworks
