Welcome to HealthMedia, the 3rd International Workshop for Multimedia for Personal Health and Health Care, held on Oct 22, 2018, in conjunction with ACM Multimedia 2018 in Seoul, Republic of Korea
Managing one's health is among the most personal and important challenges for everyone. There is an increasing amount of work that shows how core multimedia research is becoming an important enabler for solutions with applications and relevance for the societal questions of health. The HealthMedia workshop contributes to shaping the discussion of health in multimedia. We explore the relevance, contribution and future directions of multimedia to health care and personal health. With this, we continue the discussion from two previous successful workshops held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands 2016, and Mountain View, USA 2017.
The keynote by Seongho Cho, Samsung, provides insights into the latest development of personal health management from an industry leader's point of view. In the scientific program, the nine accepted papers from international research groups cover three main areas of multimedia research, namely biosignal processing, understanding the user, and interaction and intervention design. The broad range of potential applications from sleep apnea and cardiovascular rehabilitation, up to stair climbing and food journaling, is an indicator of the high relevance of the research. It also shows how societal challenges drive technological research.

Health Record Tracking Enhancement based on Multimedia and Machine Learning for Mobile Healthcare: Trends and Challenges
As mobile and wearable devices become widespread, sensors and media input methods are used to track daily health records. Previously, the step counts, workouts, and sleep efficiencies are measured through accelerometer or GPS sensor in the device. It ...
Quantifying the Signal Quality of Low-cost Respiratory Effort Sensors for Sleep Apnea Monitoring
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common, but severely under-diagnosed sleep disorder characterized by recurring periods of shallow or paused breathing during sleep. It is our long-term goal to allow people to perform the first step towards a sleep ...
Automatic Estimation of Enjoyment Levels during Cardiac Rehabilitation Exercise
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of premature death and disability in Europe and worldwide. Effective Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) can significantly improve mortality and morbidity rates, leading to longer independent living and a ...
Differences in Psychophysiological Reactions to Anxiety in Individuals with Varying Trait Anxiety Scores
This study investigated the differences in the psychophysiological reaction to anxious situations in individuals with higher (greater than or equal to 40) trait anxiety scores in comparison to those with lower (less than 40) trait anxiety scores. This ...
Contextual Assesments and Biomarker in Agitation Prediction for ADHD Patients
ADHD has an estimated worldwide prevalence of 2-3% and is one of the most frequent neurodevelopmental disorders. The disease starts in childhood and persists in up to 50% into adulthood. Many problems in an ADHD-patient's life arise from the lack of ...
Activity Recognition in New Smart Home Environments
Activity recognition is important to health care in smart homes. It provides information about the activities of the residents. Many health care services are based on it. To collect data about the activities, sensor networks consist of binary sensors ...
Multimodal Food Journaling
A food journal is essential for improving health and well-being. However, journaling every meal is extremely difficult because it depends on user initiative and intervention. Current approaches to food journaling are both potentially inaccurate and ...
Speech and Gestures for Smart-Home Control and Interaction for Older Adults
Older adults have been encountering difficulties in using modern technological devices to control home appliances as they are lacking in technology literacy and mobility. This led to the usage of remote controllers or requiring assistance from family ...
ActiStairs: Design and Acceptance of a Technology-Based Intervention to Advocate Stair-Climbing in Public Spaces
Stair climbing is a physical activity that can easily be performed in daily life and has a positive influence on, amongst others, cardiovascular health and the prevention of frailty. Health interventions have shown to be effective in motivating stair ...
Functional Case Study Evaluation of the SmartGym: An Anticipatory System to Detect Body Compliance
Therapists and trainers often utilize training and exercise programs as a critical step within the rehabilitation process. Due to the inherent danger of injury while performing these exercises, they must often be performed under the supervision of ...
