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,
users with a completely different upbringing and domain knowledge, and
ill or handicapped people will have to use the systems. While current
research focuses mainly on technical and 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 January 10, 2010.
Please visit the conference submission page (www.pervasivehealth.org/submission.shtml)
for detailed submission requirements and procedures. 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 January 25, 2010. The workshop will be held at
PervasiveHealth'10, March 22, 2010 in Munich, Germany. All accepted
workshop papers will be included in the conference proceedings and
published in IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
