WORKSHOP THEME
Within the last years a variety of new healthcare concepts for
supporting and assisting users in technology-enhanced environments
emerged. While smart healthcare systems can help to minimize hospital
stays and in so doing enable patients an independent life in a
domestic environment, the complexity such systems raises fundamental
questions of behavior, communication and technology acceptance.
Therefore, this workshop aims to bring together researchers from
different disciplines to discuss the interrelation of medical,
environmental, technical, communicative, psychological and social
factors and their consequences for the design, use and acceptance of
smart healthcare systems.
