Healthwear'16: EAI International Conference on Wearables in Healthcare
Budapest, Hungary
http://healthwearconference.org/


Important Dates
============
Submission deadline: March 1, 2016
Notification of acceptance: March 18, 2016
Camera-ready due: April 29, 2016
Conference date: June 14-16, 2016

Overview
=======
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.

We encourage submissions of four-page position papers and short papers 
that relate to any aspect of personal health data research. Submissions 
from students, developers, educators, and researchers in various domains 
are welcome. Candidate topics include but are not limited to:

- Personal Health Informatics
- Quantified Self for Healthcare
- Activity Monitors and Devices
- Self-Tracking
- Healthcare Knowledge Representation & Reasoning
- Health Data acquisition, analysis and mining
- Healthcare Information Systems
- Validity, reliability, usability, and effectiveness of Self-Tracking 
devices
- Experiment Design
- Social and Psychological investigation into Self-Tracking practices
- Health Monitoring in clinical and lifestyle environments
- Sensors and actuators for Wellness, Fitness and Rehabilitation
- Innovative Algorithms for assessment of long-term physiological and 
behavioural data
- Models for interpreting medical sensor data
- Lifelogging, lifecaching, lifestreaming
- Biometric data
- Medical Self-diagnostics
