The Twelfth international workshop on e-Health Pervasive Wireless Applications and Services e-HPWAS'24 (in conjunction with the 20th WiMob conference) targets providing optimal, secured and context aware e-health services with the best quality of services (QoS) and user’s experience (QoE). Applications and services are considered in wireless environments and architecture with the use of IoT (Internet of things), big data analysis and a strong heterogeneity of the used access technologies, sensors, terminals, users’ needs and services (data, content, live streams or complex network services).

Emerging e-Health services and applications can involve the use of “heavy” content such as multimedia content and streams (e.g. 3D-TV, media conferencing, remote live diagnostics) using conventional e-health devices but also using terminals like smart TV sets, home-boxes, smartphones and tablets. The considered issues of e-HPWAS are related to e-Health care and safety services provided for patients, elderly and dependent persons. These services are generally built using different communication technologies, for different profiles of people and in different contexts and places (e.g. in health institutions, at home, in the city). Provided services should, ideally, be accessible anytime, anywhere and using any kind of device or platform.

eHPWAS encourages the submission of original works describing research results, practical or industrial e-health solutions. Papers describing advanced prototypes, platforms, techniques and general survey for discussing future perspectives and directions are also encouraged.

Topics include but are not limited to:
- e-Health services in smart environments (smart homes, smart medical institutions, smart cities)
- e-Health and the Internet of Things (IoT)
- e-Health and the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT)
- e-Health, artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques
- Cutting-Edge technologies revolutionize healthcare
- e-Health and 5G/6G networks
- e-Health and Big Data analysis, summarization, prediction
- Sensor networks for e-Health services (e.g. BAN, WPAN, 5G, 6G, LoRaWAN, etc.)
- Enhancing health and wellness with sports, mobility, and exercise management
- Network interoperability in the e-health ecosystems
- Wireless network security and privacy (e.g. access networks, exchanged and shared medical data)
- Wireless sensors, mobiles and cognitive radio networks
- User acceptance of advanced and complex e-health services
- Quality of Experience (QoE) with e-health applications, services and network technologies
- Real-time e-Health services
- Augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) for e-Health
- Use of Digital Twin (DT) in e-Health
- e-Health services composition and adaptation
- Delay tolerant networking (DTN) with e-health services development
- Improving public health: policies and clinical studies
- Norms for e-Health data exchange and distributions (e.g. HL7 norms, electronic health information exchange-HIE, Health Record-HER)
- Existing and ongoing Web norms and communication technologies for e-Health (e.g. WebRTC)
- Context models for people monitoring and Activities of Daily Living (ADL)
- Streamlining healthcare with advanced systems and platforms
- Heterogeneity of e-Health environments and platforms (used sensors and actuators, heterogeneous access technologies, medical places)
- Revolutionizing healthcare with robotic solutions
- Techniques and models for performance evaluation, simulation, and optimization
- The future of healthcare: Human-Computer Interaction


All accepted papers of the workshop will be published in the 20th WiMob proceedings. All the Conference content will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. The workshops will be held on October 21, 2024 (Paris, France).

A selection of accepted papers of high quality will be considered and authors will be invited to produce an extended version to be published in a special issue of the Sensors Journal (ISSN: 1424-8220, Impact Factor: 3.4 / JCR - Q2 / CiteScore - Q1) indexed within Scopus, PubMed, and other important databases.
