Due to recent developments in pervasive and ubiquitous computing, health care systems can provide well-informed and high-quality patient care services. A care provider can receive a simplified, adaptive, and latest view of the medical data. Although the medical file is unique, the distributed record could be accessible from any place at any time by care providers.
We welcome the submission of papers from the full spectrum of issues related with health care systems. Papers may focus on architectures, methods, technologies, protocols, prototype developments, case studies, applications, and practical experiences on health care systems.
The list of topics includes, but is not limited to:
