Welcome to IPPHS Discussion Forum

Dear Participants,

We envisage this forum to become a major tool that shall bring together researchers, scientists and professionals from different disciplines that are interested in the wider area of intelligent proactive personal healthcare systems.

We aim to operate this forum as a self-organised community of users and research practitioners that will help all stages of research while also provide all necessary means for the wide scale deployment of innovative results throughout Europe and the world.

We commit to the vision of eHealth systems that will
• focus on prevention and early diagnosis as well as treatment;
• 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 forum aims to act as a support medium that will 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.

So, please enjoy it.

Best regards,

Prof. Asuman Dogac
IPPHS Forum Leader
