CALL FOR PAPERS - NETHEALTH 2012
2nd Workshop on Networked Healthcare Technology (NetHealth 2012)
Co-located with COMSNETS 2012 (in cooperation with ACM, SIGCOMM and SIGMOBILE)
Bangalore, India
January 3, 2012

Important dates:
- Submissions due: October 16, 2011 (11:00pm IST) (1:30pm EST)
- Notification of acceptance: November 16, 2011
- Camera-ready: December 2, 2011
The world's pressing healthcare needs may benefit from judicious
application of networked information technology. Future networked
information systems will support, for example, clinical workflow,
remote diagnosis and consultation, e-prescribing, and mobile data
collection and surveillance, disease outbreak identification and
patient participation in their own well-being and care.
Mobile-computing technology may be particularly helpful in improving
access to healthcare (geography, monetary and informational), by
encouraging personal health management, and by enabling patient and
provider mobility. Wearable medical devices are emerging, to measure
essential vital signs like pulse, respiration, ECG, blood glucose
level, and patient mobility. Handheld devices support clinicians in
urban hospitals, and portable diagnostic kits allow remote healthcare
teams to more easily reach rural villages.
The widespread availability of mobile phones, and recent experiments
with low-cost, long-range broadband wireless networks, bring
connectivity to all these opportunities. We encourage papers that
present novel ideas for networked computing technology in support of
healthcare, and which are likely to invoke thoughtful discussion at
the workshop.
Research papers should focus on all aspects of networked healthcare
technologies. Of interest, though not exclusively, are the following
topics: remote diagnosis and remote consultation
* clinical applications of mobile or networked healthcare
* mobile and wearable medical sensing applications
* design of wearable and home-care health devices
* sensor networks for public health monitoring and surveillance
* networked mobile technology for rural healthcare
* security and privacy in networked healthcare
* experience from technology deployments
* usability of mobile health applications and devices
* applications to emergency response and disaster response
* cost-efficient and energy-efficient networking for remote healthcare
* remote access to electronic health records
Papers should be limited to 6 pages in IEEE format, not submitted
concurrently elsewhere in any form, and present new contributions
regarding either technology or experience in deploying technology.
