SCOPE
The ViBRANT workshop brings together researchers from diverse scientific backgrounds to advance video-based Assistive and Active Living (AAL) technology, with a focus on real-world applications in care settings. It promotes the significance of integrating technological advancements with user studies, legal considerations, and the needs of the healthcare sector. The workshop welcomes participation from academia, medical professionals, care providers, and industry partners interested in AAL. Its primary objective is to foster an interdisciplinary research community that explores the latest advancements in video-based AAL, including practical applications and methodologies for evaluating potential benefits and risks in healthcare and care environments.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Video-Based Technology for Health Monitoring
