This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the
International Conference on Communication Technologies for Ageing
Well and e-Health, ICT4AgeingWell 2015, held in Lisbon, Portugal,
in May 2015. The 11 full papers and two invited papers presented
were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. The
papers cover five main topic areas, covering different aspects,
including Ambient Assisted Living, Telemedicine and E-Health,
Monitoring, Accessibility and User Interfaces, Robotics and Devices
for Independent Living and HCI for Ageing Populations.
Providing a comprehensive introduction into an overview of the
field of pervasive healthcare applications, this volume
incorporates a variety of timely topics ranging from medical
sensors and hardware infrastructures, to software platforms and
applications and addresses issues of user experience and technology
acceptance. The recent developments in the area of information and
communication technologies have laid the groundwork for new
patient-centred healthcare solutions. While the majority of
computer-supported healthcare tools designed in the last decades
focused mainly on supporting care-givers and medical personnel,
this trend changed with the introduction of pervasive healthcare
technologies, which provide supportive and adaptive services for a
broad variety and diverse set of end users. With contributions from
key researchers the book integrates the various aspects of
pervasive healthcare systems including application design, hardware
development, system implementation, hardware and software
infrastructures as well as end-user aspects providing an excellent
overview of this important and evolving field.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the workshops
co-located with the 4th International Joint Conference on Ambient
Intelligence, AmI 2013, held in Dublin, Ireland, in December 2013.
The 33 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and
selected from numerous submissions to the following workshops: 5th
International Workshop on Intelligent Environments Supporting
Healthcare and Well-being (WISHWell 13) 3d International workshop
on Pervasive and Context-Aware Middleware (PerCAM 13), 2nd
International Workshop on Adaptive Robotic Ecologies (ARE'13),
International Workshop on Aesthetic Intelligence (AxI'13), First
International Workshop on Uncertainty in Ambient Intelligence
(UAmI13). The papers are organized in topical sections on
intelligent environments supporting healthcare and well-being;
adaptive robotic ecologies; uncertainty in ambient intelligence;
aesthetic intelligence; pervasive and context-aware middleware."
Prolonged life expectancy along with the increasing complexity of
medicine and health services raises health costs worldwide
dramatically. Whilst the smart health concept has much potential to
support the concept of the emerging P4-medicine (preventive,
participatory, predictive, and personalized), such high-tech
medicine produces large amounts of high-dimensional,
weakly-structured data sets and massive amounts of unstructured
information. All these technological approaches along with "big
data" are turning the medical sciences into a data-intensive
science. To keep pace with the growing amounts of complex data,
smart hospital approaches are a commandment of the future,
necessitating context aware computing along with advanced
interaction paradigms in new physical-digital ecosystems. The very
successful synergistic combination of methodologies and approaches
from Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Knowledge Discovery and
Data Mining (KDD) offers ideal conditions for the vision to support
human intelligence with machine learning. The papers selected for
this volume focus on hot topics in smart health; they discuss open
problems and future challenges in order to provide a research
agenda to stimulate further research and progress.
E-health technologies will play an increasingly important role in
the coming years, as more and more older people will require
medical care and support. Due to the prevalent demographic changes
and the continuously decreasing number of nursing staff and
caregivers, there is an increased need for intelligent medical
technologies, which enable people to live independently at home.
E-Health, Assistive Technologies and Applications for Assisted
Living: Challenges and Solutions reviews existing literature in
assistive technologies and provides suggestions and solutions for
improving the quality of assisted living facilities and residences
through the use of e-health systems and services.
Within the last years a variety of new healthcare concepts for
supporting and assisting users in technology-enhanced home
environments emerged. These so-called smart healthcare technologies
are characterized by a combined use of information and
communication technologies and health monitoring devices in the
home domain. Smart Healthcare Applications and Services:
Developments and Practices provides an in-depth introduction into
medical, social, psychological, and technical aspects of smart
healthcare applications as well as their consequences for the
design, use and acceptance of future systems. The knowledge and
insights provided in this book will help students as well as
systems designers understand the fundamental social and technical
requirements smart healthcare technologies have to meet.
Electronic healthcare technologies support the interaction between
patients and health-service providers, institution-to-institution
transmission of data, and peer-to-peer communication between
patients and health professionals. These technologies promise to
deliver significant improvements in access to care, quality of
care, and the efficiency and productivity of the health sector.
Human-Centered Design of E-Health Technologies: Concepts, Methods
and Applications unites researchers and industry practitioners from
different disciplines to share their domain-specific knowledge and
thereby contribute to a holistic introduction into the area of
human-centered design for e-health applications. The knowledge and
insights provided in this book will help students, as well as
systems designers, to understand the fundamental social and
technical requirements future e-health systems have to meet. By
providing a well-rounded introduction within one single volume,
this book is equally suited as a library reference and upper-level
course supplement, but also represents a first-class resource for
independent study.
