This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of
the 9th International Conference on Mobile Communication and
Healthcare, MobiHealth 2020, held in December 2020. Due to Covid-19
pandemic the conference was held virtually. The book contains 13
full papers selected from the main conference and 10 full papers
from two workshops on medical artificial intelligence and on
digital healthcare technologies. The conference papers are
organized in topical sections on wearable technologies; health
telemetry; mobile sensing and assessment; machine learning in
eHealth applications.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of
the 8th International Conference on Mobile Communication and
Healthcare, MobiHealth 2019, held in Dublin, Ireland, in November
2019. The 26 revised full papers were reviewed and selected from 45
submissions and are organized in topical sections on mobility and
real-time assessment, remote patient monitoring, patient monitoring
and assessment of ICT solutions, patient monitoring and robotics,
wearable technologies and smart measurement, data management within
mHealth environments.
The United States has seen major advances in medical care during
the past decades, but access to care at an affordable cost is not
universal. Many Americans lack health care insurance of any kind,
and many others with insurance are nonetheless exposed to financial
risk because of high premiums, deductibles, co-pays, limits on
insurance payments, and uncovered services. One might expect that
the U.S. poverty measure would capture these financial effects and
trends in them over time. Yet the current official poverty measure
developed in the early 1960s does not take into account significant
increases and variations in medical care costs, insurance coverage,
out-of-pocket spending, and the financial burden imposed on
families and individuals. Although medical costs consume a growing
share of family and national income and studies regularly document
high rates of medical financial stress and debt, the current
poverty measure does not capture the consequences for families'
economic security or their income available for other basic needs.
In 1995, a panel of the National Research Council (NRC) recommended
a new poverty measure, which compares families' disposable income
to poverty thresholds based on current spending for food, clothing,
shelter, utilities, and a little more. The panel's recommendations
stimulated extensive collaborative research involving several
government agencies on experimental poverty measures that led to a
new research Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM), which the U.S.
Census Bureau first published in November 2011 and will update
annually. Analyses of the effects of including and excluding
certain factors from the new SPM showed that, were it not for the
cost that families incurred for premiums and other medical expenses
not covered by health insurance, 10 million fewer people would have
been poor according to the SPM. The implementation of the patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) provides a strong impetus
to think rigorously about ways to measure medical care economic
burden and risk, which is the basis for Medical Care Economic Risk.
As new policies - whether part of the ACA or other policies - are
implemented that seek to expand and improve health insurance
coverage and to protect against the high costs of medical care
relative to income, such measures will be important to assess the
effects of policy changes in both the short and long term on the
extent of financial burden and risk for the population, which are
explained in this report. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary
