Final Manuscript: June 22, 2012<br>Workshop Dates: September 26 - 28, 2012<br><br>Imagine if our health status can be constantly monitored whilst doing our daily routine, imagine if we can be alerted of a subtle abnormality with our heart while we asleep, and imagine if we can be advised of a potential life-threatening disease without the need to see a physician, and finally imagine if all of these had already been possible, how many lives could have been saved. These are not myths – in fact with the advent of pervasive computing and ambient intelligence, the notion of "anytime" and "anywhere" healthcare/medicine monitoring and management, which is coined as Pervasive Healthcare, can be realized anytime sooner. Pervasive Healthcare is predominantly supported by miniaturized mobile or embedded information and communication technologies with some degree of "intelligence" and advanced user interfaces.<br>
<br>Pervasive Healthcare is at the forefront of research, and presents the ways in which mobile, sensor, embedded and wireless technologies can be used to deliver the potential of pervasive healthcare. This potential includes prevention, abnormalities detections, short-term monitoring (home healthcare monitoring), long-term monitoring (nursing home), personalized healthcare monitoring, mobile health monitoring, remote monitoring and diagnosis, fall-detection and management, assisted applications, drugs transportation and treatment, to name a few.<br>
<br>In achieving this potential, it is imperative to consider the systems, applications, algorithms, logical models, solution architectures and the associated devices and communications technology. Importantly, this attempt comes with issues, requirements, and challenges that must be addressed in order to orchestrate various technological advanced devices and drive them to work intelligently and seamlessly together to eventually make systems and services that help majority of the world’s population.<br>
<br>There are two key perspectives of Pervasive Healthcare, one being the domain of application of enabling technologies and the other being the concept that integrates healthcare more seamlessly to our everyday life. Pervasive Healthcare will essentially lead to a radical change from doctor centric to patient centric models.<br>
<br></div>The objective of this workshop is to bring a high-level international forum for academics, engineers, scientists, researchers and research scholars to address the challenges and discuss opportunities to explore new research directions and develop new ideas by soliciting work in progress and completed research papers covering the state of the art in pervasive computing, systems, services, applications, technologies and intelligence for healthcare.
