Workshop on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services for Healthcare (co-held with ACM SenSys)

Event Dates

Nov 06, 2012 - Nov 06, 2012

Location

Toronto, Canada

Submission Deadline

Aug 08, 2012

The second International Workshop on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services for Healthcare solicits innovative and original research papers related to mobile systems as applied to healthcare and wellness. We explicitly encourage submissions related to real deployments and experiences with practical systems. We would also like to encourage paper submissions with accompanying demos (a short description in the paper will suffice), although a demo is not required. We are interested in, but not limited to, the following research topics on healthcare:

Wearable sensors

Mobile sensing devices

Mobile imaging and diagnostics tools

Limitations of sensing (e.g. sampling rate, types of sensing related to healthcare and wellness monitoring)

Energy issues

Security and privacy issues

Communication challenges (in healthcare based mobile systems)

Data quality monitoring and robustness (in the mobile environments)

Realtime sensor data processing on mobile devices

Sensor data analytics

Healthcare and wellness applications on mobile devices

User (patient/medical professional) needs and its impact on system design

Real-life deployments/practical experiences

Call for Demos and Posters

We are also soliciting posters and demos that showcase innovative and novel mobile sensor systems for healthcare. The scope of work is described above. Demo and poster submissions should be up to 2 pages (including Tables, Figures, and References). Submissions should describe innovative ideas and systems related to mobile systems, applications, and services for healthcare. Detailed description of the demo and poster is expected.
