Situation recognition and medical data analysis in Pervasive Health environments
May 21st - San Diego, CA (USA)
1. Theme
In recent years, pervasive systems in healthcare have reached a high degree of maturity. However, the interpretation of large amounts of medical sensor data with regard to a person´s individual situation still remains a great challenge for the research community. Advanced medical data analysis is one important prerequisite for providing individualized health services in Pervasive Health or Ambient Assisted Living environments. Situation recognition, in turn, is a key factor for individualization and adaptivity. The aim of this workshop is to attract the presentation of state-of-the-art research in the three areas of situation recognition (i.e., detection of falls, Activities of Daily Living, contextaware situation recognition), medical data analysis (vital signs data analysis, short- and longterm deviations in the state of health, decision support), and behavior monitoring (trend analysis for the detection of long-term deviations in a person´s behavior for detecting agerelated diseases such as dementia) in Pervasive Health or Ambient Assisted Living environments. This workshop will touch technological aspects such as data fusion in pervasive healthcare environments and decision support algorithms, as well as social implications and acceptance of these technologies. Furthermore, real-life applications of situation recognition in home monitoring and clinical environments, e.g., for individualized feedback systems, will be covered.2. Topics
This workshop encourages submissions that consider, but are not limited to,- technical concepts and/or algorithms for situation and context recognition
- technical concepts and/or algorithms for behavior monitoring
- concepts, applications, and/or prototypes for medical data interpretation
- data fusion in Pervasive Health environments
- approaches or applications of data mining for sensor data in Pervasive Health environments
- approaches for modeling context knowledge (user-/environment-oriented)
3. Publication
