Situation recognition and medical data analysis in Pervasive Health environments
March 22nd - Munich (Germany)
1. Theme
Pervasive systems in healthcare have reached a high degree of maturity from a technical point of view. However, the interpretation of large amounts of medical sensor data with regard to a person's individual situation still remains a great challenge to 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 present top research in the areas of situation recognition (e.g. detection of falls, Activities of Daily Living (ADL, iADL), context-aware situation recognition), medical data analysis (vital signs data analysis, short- and long-term deviations in the state of health, decision support), and behavior monitoring (trend analysis for the detection of long-term deviations in persons behavior for detecting age-related diseases like dementia or Alzheimer's) in Pervasive Health or Ambient Assisted Living environments. This workshop touches both 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, are 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
