SCOPE

International Workshop on Ubiquitous Healthcare and Welfare Services and Supporting Technologies (UBI-HEALTH'10) provides international forum for the latest services, technologies and researches in the field of information and communication technology (ICT) assisted healthcare and well-being (H&W).

Participants include clinicians, hospital administrators, IT- professionals, researchers, educators, solutions vendors, device manufacturers, system designers, integrators and consultants. UBI-HEALTH'10 is also important international forum for e-Health associated cooperative bodies such as ITU, WHO and APEC, particularly for Ubiquitous Healthcare Initiative for Ageing Societies. In addition to the technical papers to be selected by the Technical Program Committee, the program will include distinguish keynote speakers focusing on burning topics of eHealth. The overviews of ongoing projects and future predictions are also of interests.

Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of remote and on-site H&W of the following main topics (not limited to):
  • remote and local -healthcare;
  • well-being;
  • health informatics;
  • bio-informatics;
  • public safety systems;
  • socio-economic studies;
  • techno-economic studies;
  • H&W sensors, circuits and systems;
  • fusion of traditional Chinese medicare to western medicare;
  • eHealth;
  • ageing related services and technologies;
  • pandemics and biosecurity;
  • services and technologies of developing countries;
  • global developments;
  • intelligent knowledge management;
  • associated Internet services (as web 2.0+) and technologies;
  • telecommunication solutions;
  • diagnosing tools;
  • H&W monitoring/alarm techniques;
In these areas your paper may focus for instance to the following themes:
  • user-centric design;
  • analytical and simulation techniques;
  • experimental systems and field operational testing;
  • information collection and dissemination;
  • activities and status of planned and ongoing projects;
  • deployment strategies and predictions;

Social networking software for research programmes?

UBI-SERV project belongs to Academy of Finland research program MOTIVE, which had a start-up seminar in Helsinki this week.

This kind of seminars are very good for researcher networking, and also for project networking. I am arranging visits to two of our sibling projects within MOTIVE. I would be happy to link to them here, but not all the projects within MOTIVE have websites of their own. Web 2.0 type communications is embraced only by a minority of the projects. Of course, the project related to Web 2.0 development (Somus) does extensively use these technologies, e.g. blogging and microblogging. Also Web 2.0 type collaboration tools are used.

The type of Web 2.0 application not used in MOTIVE for research collaboration is Facebook-type online social networking. A research project could have a profile in such a service, with other related projects as "friend" projects. This would make it easier to keep up with the developments within related projects. Know any such service?
