[PragmaticWeb] 2nd CfP: HealthWear'16

[Federica Cena]

1st EAI International Conference on Wearables in Heathcare
June 14-15, 2016 Budapest, Hungary
http://healthwearconference.org/2016/show/home

co-located with the eHealth360 summit (http://ehealth360.org/2016/)

*Scope:
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.
