>
> 4th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for  
> Healthcare 2010
>
> 	http://www.pervasivehealth.org
>
> March 22nd-25th 2010, Munich, Germany
>
> Sponsored by ICST
> Technically co-sponsored by CREATE-NET, IEEE EMB and IMIA
> In technical cooperation with ACM SIGCHI
> In cooperation with the Technical University of Munich, MiMed and  
> IMETUM
>
> All accepted submissions will be published in IEEE Xplore Digital  
> Library.
>
> Pervasive healthcare is an emerging research discipline, focusing on  
> the development and application of pervasive and ubiquitous  
> computing technology for healthcare and wellness. Pervasive  
> healthcare seeks to respond to a variety of pressures on healthcare  
> systems, including the increased incidence of life-style related and  
> chronic diseases, emerging consumerism in healthcare, need for  
> empowering patients and relatives for self-care and management of  
> their health, and need to provide seamless access for health care  
> services, independent of time and place.
>
> Pervasive healthcare may be defined from two perspectives. First, it  
> is the development and application of pervasive computing (or  
> ubiquitous computing, ambient intelligence) technologies for  
> healthcare, health and wellness management. Second, it seeks to make  
> healthcare available to anyone, anytime, and anywhere by removing  
> locational, time and other restraints while increasing both the  
> coverage and quality of healthcare.
>
> The Pervasive Healthcare conference aims to gather together  
> technology experts, practitioners, industry and national authorities  
> contributing towards the development and application of human- 
> centered pervasive and ubiquitous computing technology for  
> healthcare and wellness.
>
>
> 		*** CONTRIBUTIONS ***

> 		*** TYPE OF SUBMISSIONS ***
>
> Pervasive Health will accept submissions in the following categories:
>
> 1 Full papers (up to 8 pages submissions) - Full papers are  
> submissions describing results and original research work not  
> submitted or published elsewhere in one of the four main categories  
> listed below. Full papers should properly place the work within the  
> field, cite related work, and clearly indicate the innovative  
> aspects of the work and its contribution to the field.
>
> 2 Posters (up to 4 pages submissions) - Authors are invited to  
> submit work in progress whose preliminary results are already  
> interesting to Pervasive Health audience. The poster track will give  
> Pervasive Health attendees a way to learn about ongoing research  
> initiatives and will provide presenters with an excellent  
> opportunity to receive invaluable direct feedback from experts.
>
> 3 Demos and Videos (2 pages submissions- see call below)
>
> 4 Workshop Proposals (3 pages submissions- see call below)
>
> ***
>
> CALL FOR DEMONSTRATIONS AND VIDEOS
>
> Demonstrations and Videos provide an opportunity to present a  
> demonstration of your work, research, service, prototype or product  
> addressing one or more of the suggested topics as presented in the  
> general call for participation. We seek proposals for demonstrations  
> of pervasive technologies across the full environment of healthcare,  
> starting from clinical applications to wearable, ambient and home  
> based health monitoring technologies up to assistive devices and  
> educational or motivational aids. A successful demo or video  
> communicates ideas and concepts in a powerful way, a regular  
> presentation cannot. We therefore encourage making your  
> demonstration visually or otherwise appealing and presenting it in  
> an innovative way.
>
> Submissions should be a maximum of two pages (including figures).  
> Your extended abstract should be submitted by 22 January 2010 to the  
> conference review system, according to the IEEE Pervasive Health  
> 2010 Proceedings format. The notification of demo and videos  
> acceptance will be sent on 22 February 2010.

> CALL FOR WORKSHOPS
>
> The 4th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies  
> for Healthcare, Pervasive Health 2010, is soliciting proposals for  
> workshops to be held in conjunction with the conference. The  
> workshops will take place during the first day of the conference (22  
> March 2010).
>
> We invite workshop proposals that address innovative and important  
> topics related to the application of pervasive technologies in the  
> field of heal th care. The workshops should establish an informal  
> forum fo! r partic ipants to exchange developing research results  
> and ideas.
>
> Potential workshop proposers are requested to submit a 3 page  
> workshop proposal including a timely topic of interest to the  
> Workshop Chairs Lena Mamykina and Andreas Hein at [log in to unmask]
