Background and Goals:  
The workshop will bring together researchers from both industry and
academia from the various disciplines to contribute to the 3rd year of the
International Workshop on Intelligent Environments Supporting Healthcare and
Well-Being (WISHWell 2011). Healthcare environments (within the hospital and
the home) are extremely complex and challenging to manage from an IT and IS
perspective, as they are required to cope with an assortment of patient
conditions under various circumstances with a number of resource
constraints. Pervasive healthcare technologies seek to respond to a variety
of these pressures by integrating them within existing health care services.
It is essential that intelligent pervasive healthcare solutions are
developed and correctly integrated to assist health care professionals in
delivering high levels of patient care. It is equally important that these
pervasive solutions are used to empower patients and relatives for self-care
and management of their health to provide seamless access for health care
services.
Areas of interest: include, but are not limited to, the following:

.	Health monitoring from the home, office 
.	Mobile health monitoring 
.	Next generation telehealth/telecare
.	Systems to encourage well-being and healthy lifesytles
.	Ambient assisted living 
.	Case Studies	
.	Decision Support Systems (DSS) within healthcare
.	Support for independent living
.	Support for rehabilitation
.	Environments supporting carers
.	Pervasive Technologies
.	Pervasive data management architectures
