"Digital Health Transformation and Smart Ageing in place with & to disability" 07- 08 July 2023 | Wonju, Republic of Korea www.icost-society.org ## Important Dates ## * Paper Submission: 10 April 2023 * Demo Proposal Submission: 1 April 2023 * Paper Acceptance Notification: 10 May 2023 * Demo Acceptance Notification: 15 May 2023 * Camera-Ready and Registration: 20 May 2023 * Conference: 07 – 08 July 2023 ICOST provides a premier venue for the presentation and discussion of research in the design, development, deployment, and evaluation of Artificial intelligence for health, Smart Urban Environments, Assistive Technologies, Chronic Disease Management, Coaching and Health Telematics systems. ICOST 2023 edition will be hosted by Yonsei University and the National Rehabilitation Center, in Wonju, the Republic of Korea, on 07 and 08 July 2023. The conference theme for this year is "Digital Health Transformation and Smart Ageing in place with & to disability." After nineteen successful conferences held in France (2003), Singapore (2004), Canada(2005), Northern Ireland (2006), Japan (2007), Singapore (2008), France (2009), Korea (2010), Canada (2011), Italy (2012), Singapore (2013), USA (2014), Switzerland (2015), China (2016), France (2017), Singapore (2018), USA (2019), Tunisia (2020) and France (2022), ICOST has been established as an interdisciplinary conference for technology and public health experts to tackle emerging challenges related to AI technologies for health and wellbeing. ICOST proceedings are of the top 25% downloads of Nature-Springer LNCS (over 400k downloads of books and chapters). Submitted papers to the conference will be blind-reviewed by an international committee bringing together multidisciplinary experts renowned worldwide in different fields of research (Engineering, clinical, public health, social sciences, etc.). Accepted papers will be published by Springer as Open Access. Selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to be published in a Special Issue of Sensors-MDPI Open-Access Journal (Impact Factor 3.031) or Frontiers in Digital Health. We look forward to welcoming you to ICOST'2023 in Wonju, Republic of Korea !! ## Scope and Aimes ## ICOST 2023 invites participants to present and discuss their experiences in the understanding, design, development, testbeds deployment, and evaluation of technologies that demonstrate significant contributions in the areas of smart environments, public health policies, chronic disease management, and assistive technologies focused on indoor living spaces (e.g., homes, nursing homes, and assistive living facilities) as well as the outdoors (e.g., urban smart spaces or the entire smart city). ICOST has a specific theme each year. The theme for ICOST 2023 edition is “Digital Health Transformation and Smart Ageing in place with & to disability.” ICOST 2023 is especially interested in receiving submissions, focused on technologies, humanities, and social sciences, clinical, and public health for Enhanced Wellbeing and Health for all nations.
