1st EAI International Conference on Wearables in Heathcare
June 14-15, 2016 Budapest, Hungary
http://healthwearconference.org/2016/show/home
co-located with the eHealth360 summit (http://ehealth360.org/2016/)
*Scope:
A variety of relevant health and fitness parameters are now being captured via an ecosystem of consumer-oriented wearable self-tracking devices, smartphone apps and related services. Techniques from information science, sociology, psychology, statistics, machine learning and data mining are applied to analyze collected data. These techniques provide new opportunities to enrich understanding of individual and population health. Self-tracking data can provide better measures of everyday behavior and lifestyle and can complement more traditional clinical data collection, towards a comprehensive picture of health.
HealthWear'16 will bring together researchers, developers, and industry professionals from both Healthcare and Quantified Self communities to discuss key issues, opportunities and obstacles for personal health data research. These include challenges of capturing, summarizing, presenting and retrieving relevant information from heterogeneous sources to support a new vision of pervasive personal healthcare.
* Keynote speakers:
- Cathal Gurrin from Dublin City University
- Hilary Pinnock, University of Edinburgh

*Highlights:
All accepted papers will be published by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library, one of the world's largest scientific libraries. Proceedings will be submitted for indexing by Google Scholar, ISI, EICompendex, Scopus and many more.
Accepted papers after presentation and extension may be invited to be published in either ACM/Springer Mobile Networks & Applications or Journal of Internet Technology. Both of the journals are SCI/SCIE indexed.
* Call for tutorials:
The conference calls for tutorials focusing on practical topics related to wearables and healthcare. HealthWear'16 solicits proposals for half-day tutorials that present fundamentals about a frontier topic as well as recent advances in fields mentioned above. It should be interesting for both students and senior researchers. Of particular interest are topics focusing on the practical challenges of the Quantified Seld (QS), such as visualization of QS data, search in this special kind of multi modal data, etc.
