Motivation & Goal The REWBAH workshop fosters discussion related to requirements engineering for software systems that enhance healthcare, promote well-being, and encourage healthy lifestyles. It also addresses the unique needs of an aging population, aiming to create solutions that support both patients and the general public in maintaining better health.

Submissions

REWBAH solicits papers in two general categories:

• Research/Experience/Review papers (max 10 pages)

• Vision papers (4 to 6 pages)

Submissions will follow RE’25 Workshop Formatting Instructions and will be received through EasyChair. Each submission will be reviewed by three members of the REWBAH 2025 Program Committee. Preference will be given to submissions that emphasize informed, topic-relevant, and technically sound descriptions of important challenges and problems as opposed to just proposed solutions. Workshop proceedings will be published in the IEEE Digital Library.
