Workshop on
Personalisation for e-Health
to be held in conjunction with UM 2005
Edinburgh, UK, July 2005

CALL FOR PAPERS
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
---------------------
The past years have witnessed unprecedented levels of investment in
the e-Health sector, both in terms of research effort, and in terms of
funding, as well as a great public interest. e-Health can be broadly
defined as the application of IT (especially Internet technologies) to
improve the access, efficiency, effectiveness and quality of any
processes (clinical and business alike) related to health care. In the
e-Health vision, intelligent systems would, for example, enable:
* citizens to take more control of their well-being, by accessing
personalised and qualified health information, both medical and
pedagogical, and accessing appropriate medical care from their
homes;
* health professionals to manage their activity more efficiently, by
receiving relevant and timely updates; and
* teams of health professionals to work together more effectively,
coordinating their activities, sharing their knowledge about the
patients they are collectively taking care of, and ensuring the best
coordinated care is provided.
In this workshop, we will focus on the many aspects of personalisation
for health delivery, related to e-Health environments. A non
exhaustive list of issues of interest is:
- adaptive and personalised e-Health information systems (including
adaptive content, search and interface)
- tailored health education and advice (written and online)
- promoting trust and compliance to health advice
- personalised assistance, including for special citizens
(e.g. disabled, elderly)
- personalisation in chronic care (e.g. asthma or diabetes management)
as opposed to acute care (e.g. ICU setting)
- privacy issues for health related user models
- personalisation based both on biometric or genomic factors and
clinical information
- tailored decision support (for patients and practitioners)
- supporting the implementation of guidelines and protocols in
healthcare models of user learning, knowledge, attitude and
behaviour change (including compliance)
- patient/citizen models
- business models (personalisation to various stakeholders)
- ontologies for user models for tailored health care delivery
- methods for evaluating user satisfaction with ehealth systems
(weblog analysis, tracking users, quantitative and qualitative
methods)
The workshop welcomes contributions from diverse perspectives, such as
knowledge engineering, multi agent systems, natural language
processing, cognitive modelling, human factors, mobile computing, as
well as public health and medical informatics. Contributions may
describe applications, approaches, and evaluation studies.
Special attention will be dedicated to system demonstrations:
submissions should be accompanied by short written reports.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:
------------------------
The workshop encourages submissions in three categories:
- Long papers, describing mature research (up to 6000 words)
- Short papers, describing work in progress (up to 3000 words)
- Demonstrations of an implemented system: submission should be
accompanied by written reports (up to 3000 words). Authors should
contact the organisers to ensure suitable equipment is available.
Electronic submissions should be received by the workshop chair (at
floriana at csc.liv.ac.uk) no later than 7th March 2005.
All submissions will be reviewed on the basis of relevance,
originality, significance, soundness and clarity. Three referees will
review each submission.
