AI is becoming increasingly accurate and effective in performing a broad range of complex health care related tasks (e.g. recognizing a malignant tumour on MRIs, and coordinating care). Such AI driven performance can then be scaled up, improve health outcomes and save many lives. As a result, AI helps clinicians, patients and many health stakeholders to make faster, better, and cheaper decisions, at scale. This presentation provides an overview of the state of the art in how AI and MAS are shaping the health care journey forward. (*) Vice President, Global Head of AI, Tieto, Sweden; has been recently named a Top 100 AI Leaders in Drug Discovery and Advanced Healthcare, by Deep Knowledge Analytics (https://www.ai-pharma.dka.global/ai-leaders) ** SUMMARY "CARE for Smarter Health" aims to discuss computational models, social computing, decision support systems, and agent-based technology, both theoretical models as well as research applied to practical solutions related to Healthcare and Medicine, including (non-exhaustive list):Personalized Healthcare. Topics of interest include (non-exhaustive list): - Personalised Healthcare - Ethical Issues of AI and Health - Distributed Healthcare Systems - Social Computing in Healthcare - Decision support systems in Healthcare - Care for Chronic Conditions with AI Support - Deep Learning in Medicine - Medical Expert Systems - Care Team Coordination and Collaboration - Medical Robotics, Drones, Surgery, Prosthetics - Chatbots in Healthcare - Social Media Analysis for Epidemiology The CARE workshop series promotes the research agenda around topics relevant to the future of the society aiming at novel technologies, translate research into industry, support new business and create new industries. The discussion will address questions such as: How to create and combine currently scientific paradigms and disruptive technologies that enable the next generation of solutions for challenging scenarios in health and socially-centred applications? How can we create computational models, representations, algorithms and protocols to enable the next generation of intelligent collaborative technologies? And finally, how to translate these advanced researches into industry solutions? The half-day event will feature a mixture of invited talks, discussions and submitted contributions describing current work or work in progress in AI, agent and machine learning research and technology. We conclude with a panel discussion around a proposed research agenda to advance the field of collaborative technology and healthcare, to foment the development of new technologies, support new business structures, and shape the academia-industry relationship. ** SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Submission is done electronically through Easychair.

10th International Conference on Ambient Intelligence University of Salamanca �vila (Spain) | 26th - 22th June, 2019 www.isami-conference.net info(a)isami-conference.net SCOPE Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a recent paradigm emerging from Artificial Intelligence (AI), where computers are used as proactive tools assisting people with their day-to-day activities, making everyone�s life more comfortable. Another main concern of AmI originates from the human computer interaction domain and focuses on offering ways to interact with systems in a more natural way by means user friendly interfaces. This field is evolving quickly as can be witnessed by the emerging natural language and gesture based types of interaction. The inclusion of computational power and communication technologies in everyday objects is growing and their embedding into our environments should be as invisible as possible. In order for AmI to be successful, human interaction with computing power and embedded systems in the surroundings should be smooth and happen without people actually noticing it. The only awareness people should have arises from AmI: more safety, comfort and wellbeing, emerging in a natural and inherent way. ISAmI is the International Symposium on Ambient Intelligence, aiming to bring together researchers from various disciplines that constitute the scientific field of Ambient Intelligence to present and discuss the latest results, new ideas, projects and lessons learned.Brand new ideas will be greatly appreciated as well as relevant revisions and actualizations of previously presented work, project summaries and PhD thesis. TOPICS The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Applications Ambient Assisted Living Ubiquitous Computing Artificial Intelligence for AmI Distributed Computing Domotics (Home Automation) Pervasive Computing Context Aware Computing Agent & Multiagent Systems for AmI Mobile Computing Robotics Computational Creativity Sentient Computing e-Health Context Modelling e Learning Memory Assistant IMPORTANT DATES Submission date 11th February, 2019 Notification date 11th March, 2019 Camera-ready deadline 29th March, 2019 Conference dates 26th-28th June, 2019 SPECIAL ISSUES Authors of selected papers from ISAMI 2019 will be invited to submit an extended and improved version to special issues in diffetent journals.
