Increased life expectancy is an achievement of modern societies thanks to the technological progress in health, living places and quality of food. One of the consequences of an ageing society is the growing incidence of chronic diseases. This trend imposes the need for innovative approaches to assistance, including the ability of self-management, which has become an increasingly important requirement of healthcare in Europe and beyond.
Innovative interventions embed- ded with e-health applications are extremely important to improve the Active and Healthy Ageing of the population. Novel technological solutions should be capable of effectively merging heterogeneous and potentially conflicting require- ments coming from different stakeholders bridging the gap between health needs of users and clinical and social requirements. Such a challenging objective can be achieved only through a multidisciplinary approach.
This workshop therefore aims at pushing the synergetic contribution of different research areas like, e.g., Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet-of-Things (IoT), Robotics and Social Science to develop innovative and effective researches and technologies for the ageing society and assistance in general.
Submission Guidelines
We welcome two categories of paper submission:
- Short papers (max 3-4 pages). These should report views or ambitions, or describe problems. The author(s) will be able to discuss the paper informally with others at the workshop and will be invited to give a short presentation of their work.
- Full papers (max 10 pages). These should report work in progress or completed work. Authors of full papers that are accepted by the Programme Committee will be invited to give a talk on the paper.
Submissions should be made in PDF and follow the Springer LNCS/LNAI style template. See the official website for further instructions:
