Wireless Health 2011

Call for Papers :: Submission Deadline April 15, 2011

Download the Call for Papers

The organizing committee invites submission of papers for peer review that have the potential for substantive impact on the field of Wireless Health.
o
There will be two tracks featuring papers with highly innovative engineering solutions for Wireless Health and papers with a focus on applications of Wireless Health in clinical settings. Papers should be of interest to both technology and medical domain experts. Papers should clearly articulate the knowledge contributions in both of these fields, requiring treatment of both technology and medical issues. However, it is recommended that papers be organized such that the overall structure (introduction, methodology, results, contributions, etc.) be comprehensible by the diverse Wireless Health audience and that technical details be confined to specific sections so that all readers are able to appreciate the overall contributions of the paper.
o
This year, the Wireless Health features a new track called Vanguard. Vanguard papers are expected to present less developed, but highly innovative ideas. Vanguard papers are shorter in length with less extensive results, yet they should present high impact Wireless Health ideas targeting fundamental issues in engineering and medical sciences.

    • Important Dates

    Full and Vanguard Papers Due: April 15, 2011
    Acceptance Notification: July 1, 2011

    The Conference Proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Submitted papers should be no longer than 10 pages in the ACM conference format.  Vanguard papers are limited to 2 pages (please visit the “How to Submit” page for more information on formatting.) Papers must contain original material that has neither been previously published nor is currently under review by another conference or journal.

    “We are in the midst of a great inflection point in medicine as powerful wireless technologies will enable the continuous observation of a person's physiology, and significant medical advances in genomics will give us a clear understanding of each person's biology. This extraordinary convergence of information potentiates our ability to truly render individualized medicine.”
