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

http://www.comsnets.org/nethealth.html

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.
