The 4th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare,
Pervasive Health 2010, is soliciting proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with
the conference. The workshops will take place during the first day of the conference
(March 22nd, 2010).
We invite workshop proposals that address innovative and important topics related to the
application of pervasive technologies in the field of health care. The workshops should
establish an informal forum for participants to exchange developing research results and
ideas.
Potential workshop proposers are requested to submit a 3-page workshop proposal
including a timely topic of interest to the Workshop Chairs
Lena Mamykina (mamykina [at] cc.gatech.edu) and Andreas Hein
(andreas.hein [at] uni-oldenburg.de). Outcome of workshop proposals will be announced
on the 2nd of November 2009 by e-mail.
Each workshop should have one or more organizers and an international program
committee. The proposal should include:
- Title of the proposed workshop
- Abstract (less than 200 words)
- Names and full addresses, including contact details, of the workshop chairs and
Program Committee members
- Short description of the motivation and objectives as well as the original and technical
merit of the topic
- Tentative agenda and intended audience
- Tentative timeline for submitting workshop position papers, review of papers, and
notifications to the authors.
Potential workshop organizers are encouraged to send their draft proposals to potential
participants for comments before submission.
The criteria for assessment will include:
- Originality and technical merit of the topic
- Wider interest in the topic
- Topical link to the main conference

Pervasive Health
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 a variety of pressures on healthcare systems,
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.
Pervasive healthcare may be defined from two perspectives. First, it is the development
and application of pervasive computing (or ubiquitous computing, ambient intelligence)
technologies for healthcare, health and wellness management. Second, it seeks to make
healthcare available to anyone, anytime, and anywhere by removing locational, time and
other restraints while increasing both the coverage and quality of healthcare.
The Pervasive Healthcare conference aims to gather together technology experts,
practitioners, industry and national authorities contributing towards the development and
application of human-centered pervasive and ubiquitous computing technology for
healthcare and wellness.
