WORKSHOP 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 workshop 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 a paper (2-4 pages, IEEE
format) to the workshop organizers ([log in to unmask]
) until March 27, 2011. The papers should focus on current research
activities and/or interesting aspects of future work. All papers will
be peer-reviewed and evaluated based on their novelty, originality,
and relevance to the workshop theme. Authors of accepted position
papers will be notified until April 15, 2011. Accepted workshop papers
will be published in the ICAI conference proceedings. The workshop
will be held at ICAI'11, July 18-21, 2011 in Las Vegas, USA.
