1st International Workshop on Ambient Assisted Living and eHealth (AALEH 2016)
January 9, 2016
Las Vegas, NV, USA
Held in conjunction with the
14th IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC 2016)
http://aaleh2016.itmexicali.edu.mx/
The advances in computing, communications and sensing technologies have allowed the development of eHealth and Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) services to mainly benefit the elderly and individuals with disabilities. These services are a helpful tool to address the inherent problems of the ageing societies. Among the enabling technologies of eHealth and AAL services, we have wireless sensor networks, the Internet of Things, ambient intelligence, and cyber-physical systems, just to name a few. The development of eHealth and Ambient Assisted Living services requires the seamless integration of computing and communication technologies, and the use of efficient algorithms and platforms. In addition, these services may also enforce the use of new approaches and paradigms for ubiquitous computing and closed-loop solutions. The main objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers from both academia and industry, to discuss current problems that face the development of the future eHealth and AAL services. We encourage the participation of researchers from the sensing network, Internet of Things, Cyber-physical, ubiquitous computing, and signal processing communities, among others, to submit contributions to the workshop.
