WORKSHOP THEME
Users of pervasive healthcare systems will be increasingly characterized by diversity. Relying only on highly experienced and technology-prone user groups, which might have been typical users in the last decades, is not sufficient anymore. Instead, elderly users or users with a completely different domain knowledge, will have to use the systems. While current research focuses mainly on technological and/or medical aspects, there is a major need to understand in which way physical, emotional and cognitive abilities, caused by individual learning histories and health states, may impact the usage and acceptance of these systems. Hence, not only aspects of technical feasibility, but also acceptance and usability issues of pervasive healthcare applications have to be carefully considered in order to fully exploit the potential of future healthcare applications. This requires an integrative and multidisciplinary approach, which combines engineering and medical knowledge with theoretical and methodological contributions of the humanities.
The workshop aims to bring together researchers from different disciplines to discuss the interrelation of medical, environmental, technical, psychological and social factors and their consequences for the design, use and acceptance of pervasive healthcare systems.

SUBMISSION
Interested researchers are invited to submit a workshop paper (4-6 pages) formatted according to the IEEE format until April 1, 2012. Please visit the main conference website (www.pervasivehealth.org) for detailed submission requirements and procedures. Papers must be submitted in PDF format via the workshop submission page (www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=ucdpha12). The papers should focus on current research activities and/or interesting aspects of future work. All position papers will be peer-reviewed and evaluated based on their novelty, originality, and relevance to the workshop theme. Authors of accepted position papers will be notified until April 10, 2012. The workshop will be held at PervasiveHealth'12, May 21, 2012 in San Diego, USA. All accepted workshop papers will be included in the adjunct conference proceedings and published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
