Designing Entertainment for Health and Rehabilitation
This workshop will be held as part of the INTETAIN 2017 conference
June 20-22, 2017, Funchal, Madeira, Portugal:
Background
-----------------------
Health and healthy living is clearly important to us humans, and we all want to have healthy and active lives which we can enjoy for as long as possible. In this context, it is not surprising that an increasing number of tools and technologies are being developed to support us in this regard. Many of these tools and technologies tend to rely on our desire to have fun and be entertained, while working towards achieving our health-related goals and needs. Despite the popularity of research and development in the area of entertainment for health, there are not many opportunities for researchers and practitioners to meet and discuss their interests and ideas. This workshop aims to provide such a forum enabling researchers and practitioners to share learnings and experiences related to design, development, evaluation, and deployment of entertainment systems for health and rehabilitation.
Contributions
-----------------------
We invite researchers and practitioners from related backgrounds to submit a paper reporting their contributions to the topics of the workshop. Topics of interest include, but are not limited, to the following: healthy living, rehabilitation, prevention, aging, independent living, person-centred approaches, connected health, and quality of life and wellbeing.

This half-day workshop will consist of short presentations (5-10 minutes) of the accepted papers, a follow-up interactive poster session to allow discussions, a brief design activity, and time for concluding discussions and planning of future directions.
