SESSION THEME

Within the last years a variety of new healthcare concepts for supporting and assisting users in technology-enhanced environments emerged. These intelligent healthcare solutions are characterized by a combined use of information and communication technologies and health monitoring devices. The spectrum of emerging technical applications covers a broad variety of developments, reaching from internal technologies (implants for monitoring physiological signals) over devices integrated into clothes (wearable technologies) to healthcare robots or smart home technologies, which support older people in keeping up their independent life at home. Nevertheless, practical experience shows, that the brilliance and novelty of technical solutions does not guarantee the successful diffusion of these innovations. The success of (future) healthcare technologies depends decisively on the extent to which technical developments meet the specific needs and wants of users as well as their willingness to use and integrate the devices into their personal spaces.

In order to fully exploit the potential of smart healthcare technologies, not only aspects of technical feasibility have to be considered. Intelligent healthcare technologies substantially depend on the patients’ acceptance to use them. Therefore, this session aims to bring together researchers from different disciplines to discuss the interrelation of medical, technical, and social factors and their consequences for the design, use and acceptance of intelligent healthcare systems.

SUBMISSION

Interested researchers are invited to submit an abstract (800 words) to the session organizer ([log in to unmask]) until November 9, 2012. Session papers should focus on current research activities and/or interesting aspects of future work. All abstracts will be peer-reviewed and evaluated based on their novelty, originality, and relevance to the session theme. Authors of accepted abstracts will be notified until November 30, 2012. Final session papers will be due on February 1, 2013. 

Accepted session papers will be published by Springer in a multi-volume set and be available on-line through the SpringerLink Digital Library, readily accessible by all subscribing libraries around the world, and will be indexed by a number of services including EI and ISI CPCI-S. The session will be held at DAPI'13, July 21 - 26, 2013, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
