Abstract

MobileHealth is expanding rapidly, with research and applications in prevention, chronic disease management, treatment and health services. Internationally distributed products and programs are supporting public health through disease prevention, treatment, and diagnostics, targeting reduction in hospital readmissions, and advancing health and wellness. The capabilities that wireless and mobile health are developing for continuous monitoring of physiological status and behavior, combined with individualized just-in-time and adaptive guidance, now have proven impacts on health outcomes as well as healthcare delivery. MobileHealth is expanding to meet the global need for greater access to health promotion and health care, as well as the need for cost reduction in care delivery.

After three successful editions of MobileHealth, MobileHealth 2011 in Paris (France) and MobileHealth 2012 in Hilton Head Island (USA), and MobileHealth 2013 in Bangalore (India), the 4th edition will be held in conjunction with the 15th edition of ACM MobiHoc Symposium. This workshop aims at providing a forum for the interaction of these multiple areas and would be an important chance to discuss and understand what aspects have to be considered to provide effective pervasive wireless healthcare systems. The workshop includes presentations of theoretical and experimental achievements, innovative wireless systems, prototyping efforts, case studies and advances in technology related to wireless healthcare networking and systems.
