Introduction

====================



International Workshop on Ubiquitous Healthcare and Application (UHA'2011) provides state-of-the-art forum for the latest services, technologies and researches in the field of information and communication technology assisted healthcare and well-being. The objectives of this workshop are to advance medical diagnosis, treatment, and patient care through application of wireless communications, mobile computing, security, and sensing technologies. Participants include IT professionals, researchers, clinicians, hospital administrators, educators, solutions vendors, device manufacturers, system designers, integrators and consultants.

Enhancement in the welfare for future requires the change to the current healthcare system. For the care of daily health level we need special kinds of methods and technologies that we can be applied into our daily life smoothly. In this point, UHA'2011 will provide an excellent opportunity for university researchers and industry representatives as well as decision makers to review and discuss the state-of-art and trends of u-Healthcare and related biomedical engineering systems. We would like to send a particular welcome to those of you who might be new to the u-Healthcare area. This workshop offers a wonderful opportunity to understand the problems and exchange ideas about your work in organized sessions and also in an informal, relaxed setting.
