EAI GOODTECHS 2022 will be held as an on-site conference and if needed, Accepted Authors who are unable to attend the event in person will be given an option to present remotely.

Scope

Technology is improving at a rapid pace, providing new opportunities for the development of ICT technologies for well-being. Coupled with the growth in e-Health and m-Health novel Social Good solutions can be created that act as preventive, promoting healthy lifestyles and active coaching to avoid unhealthy habits. There are various solutions currently under development related to this field, which is highly multidisciplinary and an extensive subject to promote widespread health and well-being practices.

In the GOODTECHS conference, we are hence interested in cutting-edge experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation and evaluation of smart objects and technologies for Social Good. We are considering all scenarios and viewpoints in this evolution, including those areas where ICT is currently less widespread, hoping that it may represent a societal development opportunity.
