Call for Papers
Research in multimedia and health is driven of the current technological advancements in sensors and personalized healthcare. In recent years we can observe many applications of health care and personal health that are addressed by core multimedia research questions, such as monitoring daily life activities, developing lifestyle and behavioral profiles, physiological and cognitive multimedia-based monitoring for health status assessment, among others. Applications can be as specific as the recognition of food to assess its nutritional content, multimodal visualization and correlation of lifestyle parameters to assess conditions such as dementia, recommendation systems to help patients and healthcare providers with managing chronic diseases such as diabetes and asthma, or the development of personalized home assistants, used to help the elderly in their daily life, as society ages and the care ratio dwindles. A growing body of research indicates how core multimedia research is an important enabler for applications related to societal health domain. The workshop addresses all aspects of analysing, mining, fusing, visualizing and interacting with multimedia in the context of personal health systems and health care applications.
This is an interdisciplinary workshop with multifaceted topics of interests. The intention of the workshop is to bring challenging healthcare application domains and multimedia research together. Considering that it is emerging research area, submitted papers may focus more on novel ideas that do not yet have comprehensive experimental support. A strong focus on the aspect of health care and personal health is needed.
