Pervasive healthcare conference
Pervasive healthcare is an emerging research discipline, focusing on the development and application of pervasive and ubiquitous computing technology for healthcare and wellness. Pervasive healthcare may be defined from two perspectives. First, it is the development and application of pervasive computing (or ubiquitous computing, ambient intelligence) technologies for healthcare, health and wellness management. Second, it seeks to make healthcare available to anyone, anytime, and anywhere by removing location, time and other restraints while increasing both the coverage and quality of healthcare.
A conference on Pervasive Healthcare is going to take place in Tampere, Finland, in 2008.
Some of the topics that will be discussed are:
- Wearable, ambient and home based health and wellness measurement and monitoring technologies
- Mobile and wireless technologies for healthcare information storage, transmission, processing, and feedback, including devices, systems and applications
- Sensor networks for pervasive healthcare
- Information management, processing and analysis in pervasive healthcare
- Networking support for pervasive healthcare (location tracking, routing, scalable architectures, dependability, and quality of access)
- Citizen portals and electronic citizen-managed health records

Paper Submission Deadline is: September 14th, 2007
