Submissions are invited for the First International Workshop on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Techniques for Healthcare Service Delivery Improvement at The UbiComp 2015 conference in Osaka, Japan.
*************************************************************************
Workshop: Tuesday 8th September, 2015, Main conference: 9th-11th September, 2015
Deadline for submission: Thursday 4th June 2015 8:30am BST
*************************************************************************
There is an urgent need for, and evidence of, the application of domain-specific pervasive and ubiquitous techniques to support social and collaborative innovations to improve healthcare service delivery. By techniques here we mean not only the introduction of technologies (e.g. sensors), but also the computational algorithms to derive meaning from the data, the data management practices, and the organisational practice changes affected by methods aimed to make the delivery of healthcare more efficient and personalised through improved monitoring and computational organising of resources and staff.
The PUTHSDI workshop is the premier interdisciplinary forum for leading international healthcare delivery researchers, managers, clinicians, operations specialists, practitioners, industrial designers, and developers to present and discuss key issues and methods to do with the incorporation of ubiquitous and pervasive computing for healthcare service improvement. This includes the design, development, deployment, and impacts of ubiquitous and pervasive computing technologies to better understand how healthcare providers manage their time, task load, communication, and other factors in order to improve service delivery.
Please find attached the call for participation, more details are also available at http://puthsdi.wp.horizon.ac.uk/.
