AATCare 2020 intends to provide a leading-edge, scholarly forum for
researchers, engineers, and students alike to share their state-of-the-art
research and developmental work in the broad areas of Ambient Assisted
Technologies in healthcare. AATCare will be held in Madeira, Portugal (2-5
November 2020) in conjunction with the 8th International Conference on
Current and Future Trends of Information and Communication Technologies in
Healthcare (ICTH 2020 <http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/icth-20/>).

Important Dates

Paper Submission Due:  August 1, 2020

Acceptance Notification: August 5, 2020

Final Manuscript Due:    August 30, 2020

Scope

Ambient Assisted Technologies and techniques with the smart devices have
evolved into an active area of research and development in healthcare
systems. This is due to the healthcare system that faces diverse and
complex everyday challenges, ranging from used equipment and drug inventory
management to patients’ records. In addition to these challenges are
patient monitoring, scheduling and follow-up managements in hospitals,
homes and nursing homes, as well as providing the appropriate
transportation.

AATCare aims to bring together people from both academia and industry for
original discussions and to prompt future directions in the development of
new techniques and strategies for healthcare. The topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:

   -

   Context and situation awareness
   -

   Human-Agent Interactions
   -

   Human-Computer Interactions
   -

   Intelligent data fusion and aggregation
   -

   Intelligent query and data dissemination
   -

   Intelligent systems in hospitals
   -

   Knowledge modeling and reasoning
   -

   Mobile peer-to-peer systems for healthcare
   -

   Patients diagnosis and monitoring systems
   -

   Patients transportations
   -

   Recommender systems for healthcare
   -

   Robotics in healthcare
   -

   Secure systems using smart techniques for healthcare
   -

   Security, trust and privacy in healthcare
   -

   Sensors and actuators for healthcare
   -

   Simulation tools and methods for healthcare
   -

   Smart sensors for healthcare
   -

   Smart systems for patient care
   -

   Software agents in healthcare
