We are looking forward to seeing you at PERVASIVE HEALTH 2018 in Mount Sinai, New York on 21 - 24 May 2018!
11th EAI International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare
Don´t miss video interview "The bright future of pervasive health" with Nuria Oliver (lead researcher on Data Science at Vodafone, Chief Data Scientist at Data-Pop Alliance), General Co-Chair of PervasiveHealth 2017 bellow:
Scope
Traditional healthcare environments are extremely complex and challenging to manage, as they are required to cope with an assortment of patient conditions under various circumstances with a number of resource constraints. Pervasive healthcare technologies seek to respond to a variety of these pressures by successfully integrating them within existing healthcare environments. Technologies, standards and procedures on their own provide little and or no meaningful service. It is essential that pervasive healthcare environments, through a combined approach of data collection, data correlation and data presentation, assist healthcare professionals in delivering high levels of patient care, and empower individuals and their families for self-care and health management.
