[Apology for cross-posting] Call for Papers: Special Issue on Pandemic
Preparedness with Pervasive Computing Oliver Amft, Hassan Ghasemzadeh and
Damith Ranasinghe Title and Abstracts Due: 18 December 2022 (to
[log in to unmask]) Full Manuscripts Due: 15 January 2023 (via
submission site) Publication: October – December 2023 The last few years
demonstrated how vulnerable our current healthcare systems are against
pandemics. The challenges and complexities that the world witnessed in
dealing with COVID-19 warrant the development of new pervasive computing
solutions that can be harnessed to prevent and manage future pandemics.
Pervasive technologies that integrate sensors, data, analytics, and
simulations, but also interact with citizens and patients, have been
identified as important tools. For example, wearable sensors and devices
can gather and interpret relevant health data for disease diagnosis,
patient treatment, as well as pandemic management at clinical and
epidemiological scales. Public interactive devices may inform on
health-related risks of an area or building section. Smartphone apps could
help to adjust social behavior, manage health when medical centers are
inaccessible, or foster health competences as new medical insight becomes
available. Other wearable and Internet of Things (IoT) devices could
provide accurate contact tracing using Bluetooth or alternative
technologies. Furthermore, simulations, analyses, and dashboards exploiting
data of pervasive systems could reveal important behavioral and
physiological biomarkers of the disease, provide insights into disease
transmission, and assist in clinical decision making and interventions. The
goal of this special issue is to provide a medium for researchers and
practitioners to present their work on the design, development, evaluation,
and application of pervasive technologies for pandemic awareness,
mitigation, containment, and prevention. The issue intends to provide a
comprehensive view on methods, capabilities, and future potential of
pervasive technologies towards pandemic preparedness. Thus, topics of
interest include, but are not limited to: Pervasive and mobile technologies
for contact tracing and their analysis Pervasive systems and analyses of
data for viral disease spread monitoring Pervasive systems for management
of Long-COVID Wearable systems for infection diagnosis, treatment
monitoring, pandemic management, and control Pervasive technologies and
simulations thereof to mitigate disease transmission Interactive and/or
educational systems for social, behavioral, and non-pharmaceutical
interventions in response to a pandemic situation Control and prevention of
pandemic-related health effects Pervasive technologies to manage mental
health, substance use, and pandemic-related stresses Pervasive systems for
managing health orders and directives Pervasive technologies and analyses
of data for the safe execution and management of events and public
gatherings in “living-with-the-virus” Practical experience and lessons
learnt from pervasive, including wearable, technology deployments
