2023-03-31: Invitation to our Minitrack "Healthcare Applications for Personal Mobility" on HICSS Conference 2024 in Hawaii
We invite you to submit your work to the Minitrack on "Healthcare Applications for Personal Mobility" at the 57th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences 2024. The conference will take place on the stunning island of Maui in January 2024. We warmly encourage you to participate and share your expertise in this field. For more information, please visit our conference website at https://hicss.hawaii.edu. We look forward to seeing you there!

Exploring the Intersection of Healthcare and Personal Mobility
Engine-powered personal mobility include not only cars and motorcycles but also increasingly electrical vehicles like e-scooters and pedal electric cycles (pedelecs). Therefore, the number of people using such devices as well as the individual utilization time increases. E.g., the elderly shift their primary way of mobility from bicycles to pedelecs whereas the young use applications for shared mobility with e-scooters and other personal vehicles as their primary means of transportation.
Recent research addressed healthcare applications for personal vehicles beyond driving assistance, e.g., for levels 3 to 5 of autonomous driving. Individuals can therefore take advantage of technology benefits to improve their health and well-being with monitoring systems integrated into personal vehicles providing long- and short-term warnings of potential health issues. Therefore, the vehicles are equipped with sensors to measure vital signs such as heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and other biomedical parameters like electro-dermal activity or glucose level. In shared mobility applications, health data is subject to special privacy and security concerns as well as particularly designed analysis. Further challenges arise from sensor calibration, network connectivity, and energy efficiency.
To address changes and challenges and to promote research and new developments in the field, we invite research papers to explore a wide range of topics, e.g.:
- Health sensors configuration and coupling, signal/sensor fusion, digital imaging for health sensing, and hardware technologies
- System architectures, data platforms, healthcare ecosystems, and energy efficiency
- Acceptance and success models
- Privacy protection, security management, authentication sensors, and wireless networking
- Data analytics, data integration, and cross-domain data usage
- Artificial intelligence (AI) and explainable/understandable AI
- Shared mobility application
The submission deadline is June 15th, 2023.
