      1st Baltic Workshop on Ambient Health Monitoring (AmbiHealth'2012)    

                     September 28, 2012, Luebeck, Germany                 

              http://www.ambient.uni-luebeck.de/ambihealth2012/        

 

                            Call for Papers

 

 

The continuously growing life expectancy in combination with the massively

increasing cost of healthcare in most industrial countries leads to
significant

challenges in the provision of appropriate healthcare services. Ambient
Assisted

Living (AAL) is an active research field for developing new concepts and

integrated systems for the provision of assistive services for daily life

activities with a special focus on medical applications.

 

The workshop focuses on Ambient Health Monitoring as a novel paradigm of

healthcare provision in our daily living environment. In traditional medical

scenarios, specialised infrastructure and laboratories have been used solely
to

obtain the health status of a patient. With the advancement of medical
sensor

technologies, wireless personal medical appliances, and powerful commodity

devices (e.g., smartphones), radically new possibilities for real-time and

in-situ monitoring of health parameters have become possible.

 

Ambient Health Monitoring includes all aspects of comprehensive healthcare

services, including vital parameter sensing, reasoning, awareness,

self-management and intervention. Ambient Health Monitoring broadens the
scope

of traditional medical data acquisition and intervention techniques to
include

technology in smart homes, mobile devices, and even in everyday objects,
like

furniture, clothes or toys. Ambient Health Monitoring therefore covers very

different environments, including laboratories, personal spaces, and even
urban

scenarios. Ambient Health Monitoring also allows for real-time observation
of

individuals and larger groups, awareness systems for health status
reflection,

and intervention based on self-organised health-related activities and

professional intervention. By advancing the use of Ambient Health Monitoring

technology in the context of daily living, we aim to foster an increasingly

healthy society.

 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* (Vital) Sensor Technologies

* Sensor Aggregation / Fusion / Reasoning 

* Fall Detection and Prevention

* Activity Recognition

* Situation Detection

* Wearable Sensors / Wireless Medical Monitoring Appliances

* Smart Homes / Smart Devices / Smart Clothes

* Telemedicine

* Mobile Health Applications

* AAL in Rehabilitation

* Personal Health Records (PHR)

* Context-aware Prevention / Intervention / Therapy

* Privacy / Data Security / Transparency / Acceptance

* Health Information Systems

* Self-Awareness / Motivation Techniques / Persuasive Interfaces

* Gamification / Serious Gaming / Elderly Gaming

PAPER SUBMISSION

 

This highly selective conference will only accept for review original papers
that 

have not been previously published and are not currently under review by any
other 

conference or journal. 

 

The workshop language is English. We invite prospective authors to submit

full-length papers of 6 pages in ACM SIG Proceedings Template (Option 1):

http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates

Papers will be subject to blind peer reviews and reviewed based on the
relevance,

significance of results, originality of ideas, as well as soundness and
quality

of the presentation. At least one author of each accepted paper must
register

for the workshop and present the contribution.

 

Full papers will be published in an edited volume after a post-workshop
revision. 

 

Please submit your contribution using EasyChair:
