Call for papers
===============
Research in multimedia and health is driven by the current technological
advancements in sensors and personalised healthcare. In recent years we
can observe many applications of health care and personal health that are
addressed by core multimedia research questions, such as monitoring daily
life activities, developing lifestyle and behavioral profiles,
physiological and cognitive multimedia-based monitoring for health status
assessment, among others. Applications can be as specific as the
recognition of food to assess its nutritional content, multimodal
visualization and correlation of lifestyle parameters to assess conditions
such as dementia, or the development of personalized home assistants, used
to help the elderly in their daily life, as society ages and the care
ratio dwindles. There is an increasing number of research work that shows
how core multimedia research is became an important enabler for
applications with an application and relevance for the societal questions
of health.
Topics of interest
==================
The special characteristic of the workshop is the joining of a challenging
and highly application domain and multimedia research. The workshop is of
a very interdisciplinary nature which is reflected by its faceted topics
of interest, including, but not limited to:
* Fusing, interpretation and visualization of health and wellness data.
* Supporting self-monitoring of personal health by multimedia
* Complex health monitoring from heterogeneous data streams
* Eye-movements and mental commands for impaired
* Brain computer interfaces and multimedia analysis.
* Multimedia in health behavior change technology
* Multimedia in personal health records
* Long term health monitoring beyond health behavior change
* Making sense of personal data for health
* Multimedia activity monitoring of health related daily activities
* Health related event detection in large data collections
* Multimedia for the self-management of personal health
* Multimedia retrieval for personal big health data collections
* AR/VR for exploring multimedia health datat
Submissions
===========
All submissions must be original work not under review at any other
workshop, conference, or journal. While the workshop will accept papers
describing completed work as well as work-in-progress, the emphasis is on
early discussion of novel and radical ideas (potentially of a
controversial nature) rather than detailed description and evaluation of
incremental advances. The workshop accepts full papers (8 pages), short
papers (4 pages) and demos (2-4 pages) in pdf. Reviews will be
single-blind: author names and affiliations should be included.
Submissions must follow the formatting guidelines of the main conference
ACM MM 2017.
