IOT-HR 2023 : WORKSHOP ON INTERNET OF THINGS IN HEALTH RESEARCH

Aim and Scope:

The constant data acquisition from Internet of Things (IoT) devices such as smartwatches, fitness trackers, mobile phones, and smart home appliances provides valuable insights into our daily lives and physical well-being. These insights can be leveraged to facilitate health-related research, improve diagnosis and treatment processes, and encourage healthy and self-reliant living. Nevertheless, the acquisition of this data poses certain challenges such as ensuring the quality and relevance of the data, enhancing usability and long-term adoption, and ensuring transparency, data protection, and credibility.

The purpose of this workshop is to delve into these critical issues in collaboration with industry and academic researchers and practitioners.


Topics:

● Use of IoT systems for health research
● IoT and electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes (ePRO) / electronic Clinical Outcome Assessment (eCOA)
● IoT-based telehealth and home monitoring systems
● IoT-based Active and Healthy Ageing technologies
● Hardware/software platforms for health research
● Algorithms and methods for gathering clinically relevant knowledge from IoT devices
● Security, privacy, and trust in IoT for health applications
● Clinical trials and pilot studies involving IoT
