OBJECTIVES
--------------------
We are pleased to announce the First International Workshop on Lifelogging for Pervasive Health, held in conjunction with PervasiveHealth'13 in Venice, Italy. The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers to present and discuss their ideas relating to challenges of capturing, summarising, presenting, and retrieving relevant information from heterogeneous sources to support a new vision of pervasive personal health care. We are interested in report of current work including: development of new sensing devices and technologies to capture novel data of personal interest, algorithmic research and user studies, and also position papers on the place of lifelogging research within the health domain.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
--------------------

The aim of this one-day workshop is to foster discussion on issues related to the use of lifelogging technologies in the health domain. We invite regular and position papers as well as demonstrations (accompanied by descriptive papers) on relevant topics, including, but not limited to:
? IR challenges of HDM archives (indexing and search)
? Sensors to record new pieces of information about our lives e.g. biometric, environmental, or reporting on those who are around us
? Multi-modal and Context Sensitive Retrieval to improve personal well being
? Summarisation / re-telling of personal media data, e.g., to assist dementia patients
? Case studies on the use of lifelogging technologies in the health domain
? Structuring and organisation of personal media archives for browsing, search and retrieval
? Techniques to successfully fuse heterogeneous sources of personal information


SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
--------------------

All papers must represent original and unpublished work that is not currently under review. All submissions will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the workshop committee and will be evaluated according to their significance, originality, technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to attend the workshop.

We invite researchers interested in these topics to submit a workshop paper (2-4 pages) using the IEEE format for papers and be made through the EasyChair conference system. https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=llph2013

All accepted submissions will be published in IEEE Xplore Digital Library and they will be included in the conference CD.
