Workshop on pervasive wireless healthcare, Paris, France
16 May 2011 - 16 May 2011
France
A workshop on pervasive wireless healthcare will take place from 16 to 21 May 2011 in Paris, France.
The average age of the population is increasing, while and the number of people requiring care intensive medical monitoring is not diminishing. This increases overall cost of medical care. Therefore, partially replacing the assistance of nursing staff by small health surveillance and communication equipment like sensors, networks, monitoring software could be cost effective and increase the quality of life for patients.
Recent advances in technology have led to the development of small, intelligent, wearable sensors. These are capable of remotely performing critical health monitoring tasks and then transmitting patient's data back to health care centers over wireless medium. Such wireless health monitoring platforms aim to continuously monitor mobile patients needing permanent surveillance.
The workshop will aim to be a forum for discussing what aspects have to be considered to provide effective pervasive wireless healthcare systems. The event will include presentations of theoretical and experimental achievements, innovative wireless systems, prototyping efforts, case studies and advances in technology related to wireless healthcare networking and systems.For further information, please visit: http://www-l2ti.univ-paris13.fr/~boudjit/MobiHealth/(opens in new window)
