IST Event 2006 :: Workshops and Networking Sessions

Intelligent Proactive Personal Healthcare Systems

Date: 22/11/2006 (9.00-10.30) — Room: Room 210

eHealth systems should focus on prevention and early diagnosis as well as treatment; they should enable self management of diseases and care at homes by the individuals and their families. Such proactive personal health systems have the potential to improve public health and significantly lower the healthcare costs. The wireless medical sensors, digital home technologies, cognitive assistance, advanced robotics for care support, context aware applications and services, and intelligent proactive computing technologies are the enabling technologies of this vision. This networking session aims to gather the stakeholders in the process to assess the current-state-of-the-art, to identify the requirements; the goals and the challenges and the RTD efforts necessary to realize this aim. The session will be organized in collaboration with the MyHeart Integrated Project (IST-2002-507816), aiming to develop intelligent systems for the prevention and monitoring of cardiovascular diseases.
