Stimulating innovation through the introduction of novel IT solutions is by default a multidisciplinary field, certainly in pervasive healthcare. Supporting and solving healthcare problems need holistically combined methods and insights. Achieving a truly interdisciplinary approach on research and product development of pervasive healthcare systems, proves to be difficult. Aligning a complex ecosystem of stakeholders with different goals, backgrounds and perspectives, such as care delivery (medicine, home care), IT (communication, hardware, software, media), organizational, economic, legal and user perspectives, is one of the main hurdles to be tackled.
This workshop aims to bring together a diverse public on this topic to exchange knowledge and showcase the benefits of interdisciplinary healthcare systems design, to discuss case studies, and to develop guidelines on stimulating interdisciplinary cooperation and best practices how to avoid pitfalls.
