Workshop on Internet of Things based Health Services and Applications

IOT-HSA 2020


Health & Medical Sciences (General)



Mobile phones, smart watches, fitness trackers and a variety of Internet of Things (IoT) smart home devices constantly acquire data about our lives and our bodies. These data can be used to support healthcare and foster healthy and independent living, with potentially enormous benefits to our societies. Along with benefits, important challenges come in terms of quality and meaningfulness of the collected data, usability and long term acceptance, transparency, data protection and trustability. The aim of this workshop is to explore these fundamental questions with researchers and practitioners from academia and industry.
The workshop will be hosted within the 10th International Conference of the Internet of Things, October 6-9, Malmö, Sweden.
List of Topics:
* IoT services and applications for healthcare
* IoT services and applications for independent and assisted living
* Use of IoT in clinical settings
* IoT in tele-health and home monitoring
