PervasiveHealth Conference 2008
Tampere, Finland, Jan. 30-Feb. 2, 2008
http://www.pervasivehealth.org
After the successful first year of the conference, the Organizing
Committee is please to announce the Second International Conference on
Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare.
Pervasive healthcare is an emerging research discipline, focusing on the
development and application of pervasive and ubiquitous computing
technology for healthcare and wellness. Pervasive healthcare seeks to
respond to pressures towards healthcare system, arising from a number of
factors, including the increased incidence of life-style related and
chronic diseases, emerging consumerism in healthcare, need for
empowering patients and relatives for self-care and management of their
health, and need to provide seamless access for health care services,
independent of time and place.
This year the conference accepted a total of 58 papers out of 107
submissions divided between full and short papers that will be presented
in seven oral and two posters sessions. Additionally the conference will
include one industrial panel, two keynote speakers and three workshops
as follows:
