The 4th International Workshop on Collaboration Technologies and Systems in Healthcare and Biomedical Fields (CoHeB 2016) Call for Papers and Participation As part of The 2016 International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Systems (CTS 2016) October 31 - November 04, 2016 The Florida Hotel and Conference Center Orlando, Florida, USAIn Cooperation with ACM, IEEE, and IFIP Paper Submission Deadline: July 29, 2016 Submissions could be for full papers, short papers, poster papers, or posters SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES Collaborative technologies are pervading every field of the modern society, influencing the way we act, work and socially interact. Collaboration technologies and systems in healthcare and in general in biomedical fields create new ways to develop, provide and improve the quality of health services. The potentialities disclosed by collaborative technologies range from education to direct clinical applications (including home monitoring, telerehabilitation, remote surgery, etc.), passing through remote consultation and second opinion, electronic health record and patient’s data sharing, development of social virtual spaces and communities for patients, and many more. Collaborative technologies in healthcare are necessary for the development of telehealth and telemedicine services but can also be used to facilitate both inclusion and participation for disadvantaged categories such as the elderly, the people with disabilities, etc. They cut costs while increasing access and providing convenience. Broadening to the biomedical field, including biomedical research, collaboration technologies are also used in bioinformatics and life sciences. CoHeB workshop aims at providing a scientific forum for disseminating and discussing the latest advances and research results in the development and/or application of collaboration technologies and systems in healthcare and biomedical fields. The main objective is to bring together researchers, scientists as well as practitioners from academia, industry, government, and research institutions in a multidisciplinary environment where novel ideas and recent achievements can be presented, fostering the creation of new networks and collaborations among ICT researchers and health professionals. The workshop will include a keynote speech, contributed paper sessions and demos, as part of the main CTS2016 Conference. Authors are invited to send their original research works covering aspects related to the following topics: CoHeB topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
