PervasiveHealth is a premier international forum with a specific focus on technologies and human factors related to the use of ubiquitous computing in healthcare and for wellbeing. The overall goal of the PervasiveHealth conference is to take a multidisciplinary approach to Pervasive Healthcare, technology, research and development. PervasiveHealth is addressing a broad scope of research topics and concerns: identify and understand problems from a technological, social, medical, and legal as well as financial perspective (with a particular emphasis on understanding and supporting patient and practitioner needs), design, implementation, and evaluation of supporting hardware and software infrastructures, algorithms, services and applications, and organizational strategies that facilitate integration of Pervasive Healthcare technology into the healthcare enterprise. 

The PervasiveHealth conference this year will focus on the use of data, AI, and connectivity as creative material for empowering patients, caregivers, and people in general, by integrating technology, materiality and aesthetic qualities,  through collective sensing and intervention in social contexts, with particular interest in the impact of technical connectivity on social connectedness and on the behavior changes and societal transformations in healthcare, especially in informal care.

EAI is an open community dedicated to creating an environment where every member receives thesame opportunities, benefits and opportunities to develop and grow their research mission and career.

As the largest free professional research society in the world EAI offers a complete range of conferenceproceedings publication opportunities. Based on the qualification of the conference and the conferencescope EAI provides the possibility to publish the proceedings for every sponsored conference.

Consistent with its mission to support developing communities all EAI sponsored conferences appear inEUDL, the European Union Digital Library (EUDL). EUDL is Open Access and free for EAI membersreaching a community of 250,000 subscribers and providing the visibility that allows the conferenceorganizers to develop the conferenceinto a fully fledged indexed proceedings publication in subsequent year.

Paper length in the main track: 

Short papers can be within the range of 6 to 11 pages, and full papers are to be longer than 12 pages. Please indicate specific ranges for the type(s) of papers you wish to include in the main track of the conference.
