Workshop Mission
One in every four deaths in the United States each year is attributed to heart diseases. The most common being coronary heart disease, with healthcare associated costs estimated at almost $109 billion per year. Heart disease related deaths are attributed to many factors ranging from undetected heart conditions causing sudden death, late detection that may damage heart muscles and require repair, or even improper care after a successful heart surgery. CDC also reports that approximately 735,000 Americans have a heart attack per year, and out of that population about 29% cases are people with previous history of heart attack. Heart failure (HF) affects more than 5 million Americans, and acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) has emerged as the leading cause of hospitalization among people over the age of 65 years. While heart disease is more prominent in older people, younger people are not immune to it.
The goal of this workshop it to explore a better detection, monitoring and prevention of heart diseases to improve the quality of life and lifespan of the adults worldwide. This workshop will consider challenges, discuss technologies, and attempt to formulate the direction for exploring heart disease related technologies.
Topics
Topics of interest listed below are related to diagnosis, management, and treatment of heart diseases. The topics include but are not limited to:
- Preventive Treatments using sensors or mobile devices
- Remote Medical Diagnosis System
- Wearable Computing
- Design of Wearable devices
- Smart garments/textiles
- Systems, Cloud computing
- Biomedical Sensor Monitoring System
- Integration of medical devices with wireless health
- Body area networks
- Implantable Sensors
- Communication Systems
- Data mining and machine learning algorithm to detect and classify heart disease-related events in real-time
- Rhythm diagnostics and monitoring that will change clinical practice (Atrial fibrillation, Ventricular Tachycardia)
- Heart rate variability: implications for fitness
- Postoperative wound monitoring
- Patient education apps (pre-procedure and post-operative)
- Health care giver education apps (preop, ICU, postop)
Submission Details
The workshop invites authors to submit papers describing original, unpublished, work for above topics or other topics related to heart diseases that not concurrently under review elsewhere. All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee.
The papers should not exceed seven single-spaced pages (IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, 11-point fonts, IEEE 8.5 x 11 inch) including everything, e.g., abstract, research description, figures, tables, and references. There is an option to add 8th page for $100.
Submission is a definite commitment for at least one of the authors to register to attend the workshop and present the paper if it is accepted.
