2015 International Workshop on Personalisation and Adaptation in Technology for Health Preface

This full day workshop on Personalisation and Adaptation in Technology for Health (PATH) showcases innovative user modelling and personalisation research that focuses on promoting access, improving efficiency and enhancing quality within healthcare. There is a clear need for user modelling and personalisation for patients as they are diverse and have widely varying needs. Moreover, healthcare professionals, carers and stakeholders also differ in their informational, practical and technological needs. This workshop aims to connect the more theoretical work in user modelling and personalisation with the more grounded needs of healthcare workers and manufacturers to promote research that is timely, innovative, and focused on the needs of users.
