IREHSS Objectives
In the last few years many efforts have been spent on advancing technology to support healthcare, and even more work on this area is needed to obtain significant results in improving the Quality of Life of patients and reducing medical errors and costs. Specifically, advances in wearable computing, bioengineering, wireless sensors networks, mobile devices and wireless communications have paved the way to new definitions of e-health systems, moving from original telemedicine systems to the use of pervasive technologies to monitor patients' status anywhere and anytime and continuously support them. To make these systems a reality, not only a strict interaction and cooperation among medical and ICT experts is necessary, but also among different disciplines inside ICT area (e.g., wearable computing and sensors, wireless communications, context-awareness and artificial intelligence).
The Second International IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on Interdisciplinary Research on E-Health Services and Systems aims at to provide a forum for the interaction of scientists working on these different research areas to discuss novel solutions and better understand what aspects have to be considered to provide effective pervasive healthcare systems.
The workshop is supported by the
European-funded projects: |
