WORKSHOP THEME
Users of pervasive healthcare systems will be increasingly
characterized by diversity. Relying only on highly experienced and
technology-prone user groups, which might have been typical users in
the last decades, is not sufficient anymore. Instead, elderly users or
users with a completely different domain knowledge, will have to use
the systems. While current research focuses mainly on technological
and/or medical aspects, there is a major need to understand in which
way physical, emotional and cognitive abilities, caused by individual
learning histories and health states, may impact the usage and
acceptance of these systems. Hence, not only aspects of technical
feasibility, but also acceptance and usability issues of pervasive
healthcare applications have to be carefully considered in order to
fully exploit the potential of future healthcare applications. This
requires an integrative and multidisciplinary approach, which combines
engineering and medical knowledge with theoretical and methodological
contributions of the humanities.
The workshop aims to bring together researchers from different
disciplines to discuss the interrelation of medical, environmental,
technical, psychological and social factors and their consequences for
the design, use and acceptance of pervasive healthcare systems.

SUBMISSION
Interested researchers are invited to submit a workshop paper (4-6
pages) formatted according to the IEEE format until February 25, 2011.
Please visit the main conference website (www.pervasivehealth.org) for
detailed submission requirements and procedures. The papers should
focus on current research activities and/or interesting aspects of
future work. All position 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
March 25, 2011. The workshop will be held at PervasiveHealth'11, May
23, 2011 in Dublin, Ireland. All accepted workshop papers will be
published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
