Abstract

We are delighted to welcome you to the First International Workshop on Multimedia for Personal Health and Health Care, held on October 16, 2016 in conjunction with ACM Multimedia in Amsterdam.

Multimedia and health is a new and developing field and has become an integral part of the tools and systems that are providing solutions to today's societal challenges such as personal health and health care. This workshop is addressing the different aspects of multimedia in personal health. The special characteristic of the workshop is the joining of a challenging and highly application domain and multimedia research. The workshop is of a very interdisciplinary nature which is reflected by its faceted topics of interest which are also covered by the different expertise of the organizers. With this workshop we aim to give the topics a clear home where the domain expertise meets with multimedia research questions.

The program of the workshop is offering a wonderful spectrum of ongoing international work in the field of multimedia in health and health care. The program of the workshop offers a set of full and short papers as well as an exciting and interactive demonstration session. We are looking forward to an exciting discussion in this new area.
