Pervasive Health Conference is a premier international forum with
specific focus on
technologies and human factors related to the use of ubiquitous
computing in healthcare
and for wellbeing. The overall goal of the Pervasive Health Conference
is to take a
multidisciplinary approach to Pervasive Healthcare Technology research
and development.
We welcome contributions from the following fields:

Work (CSCW)
• Hardware and Software Infrastructures
We seek novel, innovative, and exciting work in areas including but not
limited to:
Pervasive Healthcare Management
• Challenges surrounding data quality
• Standards and interoperability in pervasive healthcare
• Business cases and cost issues
• Security and privacy issues
• Training of healthcare professional for pervasive healthcare
• Legal and regulatory issues
• Staffing and resource management
Understanding Users
• Identifying and addressing stakeholder needs
• Usability and acceptability
• Barriers and enablers to adoption
• Social implications of pervasive health technology, and social
inclusion
• Coverage and delivery of pervasive healthcare services
• Patient and caregiver empowerment
• Diversity: population and condition-specific requirements
• Inclusive research and design: engaging underrepresented populations
• Digital interventions and health behavior change
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
• Physiological models for interpreting medical sensor data
• Activity recognition and fall detection
• User modelling and personalization
• Modelling of Pervasive Healthcare environments
• Sensor-based decision support systems
• Design and evaluation of patient and ambient-related sensors

- Camera ready papers due: March 11, 2016
=========================================================================================
Paper submission:
Pervasive Health 2016 will accept submissions in the following categories:
• Full papers (up to 8 pages including references)
• Short Papers (up to 4 pages including references)
• Posters (up to 4 pages including references)
• Demos (2 pages)
• Workshop proposals (2 pages)
• Doctoral Colloquium (4 pages)
Full papers should describe novel and mature work, and are limited to 8
pages including
references. Short papers should describe more focused and succinct, but
mature work.
Pervasive Health will not accept papers that are currently under review,
published or
accepted in another venue. All submissions must be anonymised. No
identifying information
on Authors or their affiliation should appear on the paper (except for
neutral references
to their own work).
Papers should be submitted through EasyChair system
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pervasivehealth2016
Please check the submission page for all submission details and templates:
http://pervasivehealth.org/2016/show/cf-papers
=========================================================================================
Reviewing Process and Publication
Each paper will be blind, peer-reviewed by members of the Pervasive
Health 2016 program
committee with additional expert reviewers drawn from relevant research
domains.
Submissions will be evaluated based on their originality, significance
of the contribution
to the field, technical correctness and presentation. The paper should
make explicit how
the work offers unique and substantial contribution beyond what has
already been
published or submitted. Authors will be invited to submit their
camera-ready papers in
ACM format, to be published in ACM Digital Library. Proceedings are also
submitted for
inclusion to the leading indexing services: DBLP, Google Scholar,
Thomson Scientific ISI
Proceedings, EI Elsevier Engineering Index, CrossRef, Scopus, as well as
ICST's own
EU Digital Library (EUDL). In the previous years, the acceptance rate of
the Pervasive
Health Conference was around 30%.
