*First International Workshop on *

*Ubiquitous Mobile Healthcare Applications*

*(MobiCare-2009)*

*In Conjunction with *

*Mobiquitous - 2009 <http://www.mobiquitous.org/>*

July 13 – 16, 2009

*The promise of the mobile device to deliver healthcare applications
anywhere and anytime is beginning to be realized. Several established
companies and start-ups have started offering a range of healthcare
applications for smart phones (e.g., Apple iPhone, Google Android, Nokia
N-series…). Typically, existing mobile healthcare applications address areas
such as: communications (e.g., reminders, scheduling, emergency calling);
wellness-related and disease management applications (e.g., heart
monitoring, blood sugar monitoring); access to Web/mobile portals containing
medical information and personal health information storage and management.
*

* *

*Although there has been significant progress in these areas, the full
capabilities available from the mobile device and its surrounding
infrastructure (e.g., the "cloud", specific apps middleware, device resident
camera, audio recording, etc) are not fully utilized. In this workshop we
will focus on pushing the envelope in the area of providing Mobile computing
for healthcare applications. *

* *

*We are seeking original, previously unpublished papers addressing
ubiquitous mobile healthcare applications. All submissions will be judged by
their technical merit and relevance to the workshop, based on a thorough
review process by the Technical Program Committee. *

* *

*Theme and Topics of Interest include but are not limited to:*

* *

*- Novel concepts and use cases for mobile healthcare apps ***

*- Mobile devices for healthcare***

*- Healthcare sensors and networks of sensor***

*- Communications and computing infrastructure for mobile
healthcare apps***

*- Cross over of web 2.0 and mobile 2.0 apps to the healthcare apps
***

*- Intelligent systems including mobile agents and policy engines**
*

*- Scalability, performance and reliability of mobile healthcare
apps***

*- User interface and usability aspects of mobile healthcare apps**
*

*- "Healthcare Grade" security and privacy***

*- Standards for mobile healthcare***

*In order to ensure a high quality technical session, submitted papers
should have a length of about six pages and must cover one of the topics
listed above, or a closely-related one. Furthermore, we will prioritize
experience papers describing lessons learnt from built systems, including
information about approaches that did and did not work, unexpected results,
common abstractions, and metrics for evaluating ubiquitous mobile healthcare
applications. We plan to encourage discussions based on the presented papers
and to come up with a list of requirements for next generation systems. *
