Intelligent Virtual Agents conference 2015 (IVA2015) 
Workshop on Virtual Health Agents
25 August
Delft, The Netherlands

http://ii.tudelft.nl/virtualhealthagents
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This workshop is part of the International Conference on Intelligent Virtual agents (http://iva2015.tudelft.nl/). The workshop will take place on the day before the main conference (25th of August 2015).


WORKSHOP

One domain in which intelligent virtual agents are becoming more popular is the health domain. With the changing demography in the western world, the health-care costs are expecting to increase. Less health care professionals will be available for more “care needy persons”. Virtual health agents could play several roles to address part of the increasing care needs. For example, they could act as virtual patients to train doctors, provide patients with information and advice in or outside health centers, or act as coaches as part of self-health management at home. This workshop will bring together researchers to discuss recent and ongoing research in their area. They will discuss conceptual and technical aspects of virtual health agent development and behavior, the relationships and interactions with humans, but also design and evaluation methods.
