SmarTel'07 is the First IEEE International Workshop on Smart Homes for
Tele-Health,
which is organized in conjunction with the IEEE International
Conference
on Advanced Information Networking and Applications, AINA?7,
Niagara Falls,
Canada, May 21-23, 2007.
** Description **
Due to recent advancement in electronics industry, our homes can be
equipped
with smart devices that can monitor a patient's vital signs and
other useful
information. The patient information can be locally processed
and automatically
transmitted to the relevant health-care staff, or they can
be handled locally
in the homes. These smart devices can assist in knowledge
extraction and filtering
the unwanted data. The quality of current health
care system can be significantly
improved by using these smart
devices.
** Topics **
The main themes include, but not limited to:
- Smart home
applications for tele-health
- Ubiquitous and pervasive healthcare
services
- Privacy, trust, and security in tele-health
-
Sensor network management for tele-health
- Body sensor
networks
- Energy efficient communication protocols
- Energy
efficient data management
- Monitoring of vital signs
-
Monitoring of elderly and congestive heart failure patients
-
Monitoring of chronic medical conditions
- Integration of smart
applications in healthcare system
- Intelligent agent
architectures
