International Workshop on “Ubiquitous Healthcare and Welfare Services and Supporting Technologies (UBI-HEALTH’10)” provides an international forum for presenting and discussing the latest services, technologies and research in the field of information and communication technology (ICT) assisted healthcare and well-being (H&W). UBI-HEALTH’10 is important international forum for e-Health associated cooperative bodies such as ITU, WHO and APEC, particularly for Ubiquitous Healthcare Initiative for Ageing Societies. In addition to the technical papers to be selected by the Technical Program Committee, the program will include distinguish keynote speakers focusing on burning topics of e-Health as well as in-depth tutorial and you presentations. Note that UBI-HEALTH'10 is arranged concurrently with Shanghai World Expo 2010 may therefore participate to both events at the same time!
