This is a broad domain which addresses different challenges, ranging from robust multi-sensor tracking, pose estimation, action and activity recognition, activity of daily living estimation, natural human-machine interaction, and data analytics. Applications include, but are not limited to, development of smart home systems, health care at home, automatic assessment of health status, real-time fall detection, automatic assessment of stress, depression, and cognitive state of patients, assessment of the benefits of rehab.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt;">The meeting will be dedicated to bringing together researchers, both from academia and industry, with expertise or strong interest in systems and methods for well-being and health assessment.
