Workshop on Ubiquitous Mobile Healthcare Applications

The promise of the mobile device to deliver healthcare applications anywhere and anytime is beginning to be realized. Several established companies and start-ups have started offering a range of healthcare applications for smart phones (e.g., Apple iPhone, Google Android, Nokia N-series). Typically, existing mobile healthcare applications address areas such as: communications (e.g., reminders, scheduling, emergency calling); wellness-related and disease management applications (e.g., heart monitoring, blood sugar monitoring); access to Web/mobile portals containing medical information and personal health information storage and management.

Although there has been significant progress in these areas, the full capabilities available from the mobile device and its surrounding infrastructure (e.g., the "cloud", specific apps middleware, device resident camera, audio recording, etc) are not fully utilized. In this workshop we will focus on pushing the envelope in the area of providing Mobile computing for healthcare applications.

We are seeking original, previously unpublished papers addressing ubiquitous mobile healthcare applications. All submissions will be judged by their technical merit and relevance to the workshop, based on a thorough review process by the Technical Program Committee. Theme and Topics of Interest include but are not limited to:

In order to ensure a high quality technical session, submitted papers should have a length of about six pages and must cover one of the topics listed above, or a closely-related one. Furthermore, we will prioritize experience papers describing lessons learnt from built systems, including information about approaches that did and did not work, unexpected results, common abstractions, and metrics for evaluating ubiquitous mobile healthcare applications. We plan to encourage discussions based on the presented papers and to come up with a list of requirements for next generation systems.
