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.
