1st EAI International Conference on Wearables in Healthcare
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.
