********************************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS
IREHSS 2009
First IEEE WoWMoM International Workshop on
Interdisciplinary Research on E-Health Services and Systems
June 15 2009, Kos Island, Greece
**********************************************************************
OVERVIEW:
The use of advanced telecommunication technologies for the support of health monitoring, healthcare delivery, and education (commonly referred to as E-Health) is one of the most rapidly growing areas in health research today.
The field of E-Health will permit a fundamental redesign of healthcare processes based on the use and integration of electronic communication at all levels. Therefore, the actors involved in the e-health process are not only the doctors and the patients, as in the past, but also communication scientists and engineers. Hot discussion topics include the use of mobile technologies in healthcare, home automation technologies, telemedicine applications, bioinformatics, and the use of the Internet in healthcare.
This workshop aims to bring together researchers from the fields of networking, information systems, sensor technology, as well as individuals working across these various fields (for instance, specialists of Body Area Networks or wearable system design). The main objective is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and the discussion of solutions in order to share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers from both industry and academia.
Original papers describing completed work or work in progress in the field of E-Health are solicited.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
• Wearable systems and sensors
• Body Area Networks
• Non implantable sensors for human physiological and vital parameters
• Sensor-based systems and applications for E-Health
• Power Management and energy-efficient design in Wireless Body Area Networks
• Communication systems architecture for E-Health
• Home automation system for E-Health
• Middleware and software tools for e-health
• Networking architectures and protocols for e-health
• Medical data analysis and management
• Data gathering, aggregation and dissemination
• Security, Privacy and Trust in E-health
• Modeling and performance evaluation
• Measurements
• Semantic Web in Healthcare
• Contex and activitiy recognition
• User and usability studies
• Experience reports from real life deployment
