The First International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence of Things for Healthcare

Call for Paper

*This workshop is in conjunction with the 22nd IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology ( WI-IAT 2023 ) held on October 26 to 29.

The use of IoT has seen an increase in health care, particularly in nursing, chronic disease patient monitoring, remote patient monitoring, and epidemic monitoring. Recognising the key role of IoT can further play in healthcare, this workshop intends providing a platform to discuss the current and future challenges on integrating AI on wearable devices and IoT applications for healthcare.

*The workshop will discuss human health monitoring and explore the new applications on wearable sensors with an emphasis on how AI can be efficiently used on the emerging need and challenge -- dynamic, continuous & long-term individual health monitoring and mental health detection during pandemic, aiming to provide state-of-the-art solutions at the interface between web, devices, and clinical application & individual benefit, between signal analysis, storage of continuous data emerging from IoT devices, mobile data, and data privacy and security.

Topic: When Artificial Intelligence Meets the Internet of Things: Motivations, Challenges, and Applications
Abstract: Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) is a newly emerging technology that combines IoT and AI technologies to enable decision making and analytics at IoT devices. IoT enables networks of physical objects that are equipped with sensors, software, and other technologies to exchange data with other devices and systems over the internet, while AI enables data analytics and automated decision making. This talk will start with the motivations of combining AI and IoT technologies as well as the associated challenges. Then Prof. Wei Xiang will talk about his experience in setting up Australia’s first accredited IoT Engineering program at James Cook University, as well as establishing Australia’s only industry-sponsored research centre that specialises in synergizing between AI and IoT technologies at La Trobe University. Before concluding the talk, Prof. Wei Xiang will talk about a wide range of applications and use cases his AIoT Centre has been working on in Australia.
