New scientific and technical improvements impact very deeply health information systems. On one side progresss on wireless networks, sensors (for people and their environnement) and mobile devices facilitate ambient information systems, on the other, improvement in distributed data management, adaptive interfaces, collaborative tools and methods, semantic models (ontologies) promote better support for personal health records and medical knowledge and more generally data sharing. All these together make Health Ambient Information Systems possible and place them as an important and challenginge element for our society. The main reasons is that such systems:

- allow to decrease or restrain health costs by reducing physician acts
- provide a tool-based collaboration between health professionnals
- make feel citizens secure and more responsible of their own medical environment.

Both, researchers and industrials work hard to face scientific, economic and strategic issues concerning patients, elderly or disabled-friendly. Health ambient information systems is a cross cutting area as it cross, among other, information systems, databases, sensor networks, ubiquitous computing and health related areas. The main objective of this workshop is to gather researchers and industrials of such areas together to elaborate a state-of-the art view on e-health solutions, to foster collaborations among the participants (industrial and research teams) and to trigger discussions on open topics and research challenges.
