PervasiveHealth 2016 - 10th EAI International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare

Pervasive Health Conference is a premier international forum with specific focus on technologies and human factors related to the use of ubiquitous computing in healthcare and for wellbeing. The overall goal of the Pervasive Health Conference is to take a multidisciplinary approach to Pervasive Healthcare Technology research and development. The Pervasive Healthcare Community is addressing a broad scope of research topics and concerns:
identify and understand problems from a technological, social, medical, and legal as well as financial perspective (with a particular emphasis on understanding and supporting patients’ and practitioners’ needs);
design, implementation, and evaluation of supporting hardware and software infrastructures, algorithms, services and applications; and
organizational strategies that facilitate integration of Pervasive Healthcare Technology into the healthcare enterprise.
Highlights
The event is endorsed by the European Alliance for Innovation, a leading community-based organisation devoted to the advancement of innovation in the field of ICT.
Proceedings are submitted for inclusion to the leading indexing services: DBLP, Google Scholar, Thomson Scientific ISI Proceedings, EI Elsevier Engineering Index, CrossRef, Scopus, as well as ICST's own EU Digital Library (EUDL).
The authors of the best papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their work through one of the following EAI endorsed publications:
?EAI Endorsed Transactions on Ubiquitous Environments
