To address the challenges facing pervasive deployment of wireless devices in
medical environments, many research and engineering problems need to be
resolved. Eventual working solutions involve efforts from hospital personnel,
standard committees, federal agencies, IT industry and research community. This
workshop is a forum for researchers and practitioner to exchange information
regarding advancement in the state of the art and practices as well as to identify the emerging research topics and define the
future of wireless healthcare systems.
The technical program will consist of invited talks, paper presentations, and
panel discussions. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
- Emerging hardware platforms in personal healthcare
- Spectrum sensing, device identification
- User and measurement studies and evaluations of wireless devices/systems in medical environments
- Dynamic spectrum management, resource management/provisioning for robust communication
- Middleware and system architecture for medical device plug-n-play
- Embedded computing, signal processing, and sensor information processing for wireless medical and health applications.
- Methods for assuring efficient use of resources including energy for distributed wireless medical and health systems and networks.
- Risk analysis, control and management
- Real-Time networked medical device infrastructures
- Verification and validation of wireless medical devices and systems
Proceedings will be published by ACM. Authors should follow the instructions and web links provided on the paper submission page.
