*Fourth International Workshop on Smart Homes for Tele-Health*
Held in Conjunction with
The 3rd International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and
Technologies (ANT 2012) <http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/ant-12/>
August 27-29, Niagara Falls, ON, Canada

Recent advances in the wireless sensor network (WSN) technology has led to
several potential applications in the health care industry. One such
application is Smart Monitoring where smart devices can remotely monitor a
patient's vital signs as well as other contextual information. In this
regard the Smart Monitoring System consists of traditional health care
sensors such as EKG, blood pressure, pulse-oximeter and glucose meter as
well as other sensors for recording the contextual information such as
motion, temperature, light, humidity etc. The patient's medical and
contextual information can be locally processed and automatically
transmitted to the relevant health-care staff, or they can be handled
locally in the homes. These smart devices can assist in knowledge
extraction and filtering the unwanted data. The quality of current health
care system can be significantly improved by using these smart devices. The
realization of Smart Monitoring is technically challenging as it involves
many research areas such as wearable computing, context-awareness, sensor
data fusion, security and privacy, reliable communication protocols,
decision support systems and user-friendly interfaces. Although significant
progress has been made in last few years, however, more work is needed to
for the pragmatic realization of this technology.
The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from
academia to present their work and get the feedback. We expect the workshop
to act as a leading forum for the WSN research community to discuss their
ideas on addressing the most current challenges potential solutions and
future developments of smart monitoring technologies in health care.
