Please consider to send your contribution to the 1st International Workshop on Affective Computing and Health Care: new research and industrial perspectives (Affective-Health2023) a joint event of the IEEE BIBM 2023 conference (https://bidma.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/IEEE-BIBM-2023/) that will be held in Istanbul, Turkey, on 5-8 December 2023.

The aim of Affective-Health 2023 is to present and discuss the recent advances in the field of affective computing used in the health care area, given the huge impact and open questions of the thematic in the medical field. We are inviting original research work, as well as significant work-in-progress, covering novel theories, innovative methods, and meaningful applications that can potentially lead to significant advances in the affective health care field.
This workshop is an opportunity to bring together academic and industrial scientists to discuss the recent advances in the field of affective health care. Accepted research works will be presented and discussed. The workshop will host an industrial mini track, where invited industrial partners will show the practical development of new research ideas in the field.

The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
-Artificial intelligence algorithms in affective computing
-Affective communication
-Computer vision systems for affective computing
-Speech recognition and natural language processing
-Facial expression recognition
-Body gesture analysis
-Sentiment analysis
-Affective odour perception and impact of odours in human wellbeing
-Physiological signals processing (heart rate variability, respiration, electro-dermal activity, etc.)
-Wearable solutions for affective computing and health care
-Mobile solutions for affective computing
-Affective computing in telemedicine
-Human-robot interaction

Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society, indexed in Scopus
