PervasiveHealth - 5th International ICST Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare 2011

The overall goal of the conference remains tightly coupled with the original aims of the field,
to address a set of related technologies and concepts that help integrate healthcare more
seamlessly into everyday life, regardless of space and time. To achieve this, it is necessary to
take a multidisciplinary approach to Pervasive Healthcare Technology research and
development. The Pervasive Healthcare Community has a broad scope of research topics and
concerns:
• identifying and understanding problems from a technological, social, and medical
perspective (with a particular emphasis on understanding and supporting patient
needs);
• design, implementation, and evaluation of supporting hardware and software
infrastructures, algorithms, and applications; and
• organisational strategies that facilitate integration of Pervasive Healthcare
Technology into the healthcare enterprise.
The 2011 Pervasive Healthcare conference aims to gather technology experts, practitioners,
industry and international authorities contributing towards the assessment, development and
deployment of pervasive medical based technologies, standards and procedures.
