Call for Papers
pHealth 2014 continues the series of successful international conferences on wearable or implantable micro and nano technologies for personalized medicine. Starting in 2004, pHealth has evolved to a truly interdisciplinary event by covering technological and biomedical facilities, legal, ethical, social, and organizational requirements and impacts as well as necessary basic research for enabling advanced and future proof care paradigms. Thereby, it increasingly combines medical services with public health, prevention, social and elderly care, wellness and personal fitness to establish participatory, predictive, personalized, preventive, and effective care settings. Therefore, it has attracted scientists, developers, and practitioners from various technologies, medicine, legal affairs, politics, and administration from all over the world. It brought together health services vendor and provider institutions, payer organizations, governmental departments, academic institutions, professional bodies, but also patient and citizens representatives.
Smart mobile systems, eHealth and telemedicine become important enablers for ubiquitous pervasive health as the next generation health services. Social media and gamification has added even further knowledge to pHealth both as a business domain and as a community.
OECD has defined four basic areas to be managed in the new care model: address the big data challenges; foster meaningful innovation; understand and address the potential new risks; and support concerted effort to un-silo communities for a virtual care future.
The 11th pHealth conference will emphasize the interrelated aspects framing ubiquitous pervasive health: personalized health and virtual care, mobile technologies, big data and analytics, but also new potential risks for security and privacy as well as safety chances and challenges.
The multilateral benefits of pHealth technologies for all stakeholder communities gives enormous potential, not only for medical quality improvement and industrial competitiveness, but also for managing health care cost.
We welcome you to the city of Vienna for the pHealth 2014 conference to share experiences and results, and to open up for the future!
Following a long-term tradition, also pHealth 2014 is supported by the Working Groups “Electronic
Health Records”, “Personal Portable Devices” and “Security, Safety and Ethics” of the European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI)

Invited Session Keynotes will introduce into the session topics and the Full Papers and Posters presented there.
Awards
The scientific program committee will bestow awards for the pHealth 2014 Best Paper and the pHealth 2014 Best Poster. The winner(s) will be proclaimed at end of the conference.
Publications
Submission to pHealth 2014 includes full papers only. Papers that tend to be better presented as posters will be recommended to the authors by the organizers.
Full Papers are scientific papers, future vision papers or review papers related to methodologies and/or applications. They should provide interrelations to the other ubiquitous pervasive health aspects. The paper structure includes: title, names, and affiliations (city, state, and country) of all authors, abstract (up to 200 words), 4-6 keywords. The body of the text shall include: introduction, methods, results, discussion, conclusions and references. The maximum length of a paper submission is five A4 camera-ready pages, and should strictly follow the formatting rules of the provided IOS Press template.
All submitted papers will be subject to a peer-review process by three in-dependent reviewers. Accepted full papers will be included in the pHealth 2014 Proceedings pub-lished at IOS Press. The presentations are planned to be available on the conference website. Full Papers accepted for oral presentation are allocated 15 minutes including discussions.
Submitters of accepted Full Papers that tend to be better presented as Posters and are therefore not included as oral presentations in the pHealth 2014 Scientific Program will be invited to prepare and present a Poster. The camera-ready Full Paper will nevertheless be included in the IOS Pro-ceedings.
