This annual conference (also known as "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, and coaching and health telematics systems. This year's conference seeks to understand and assess how research impacts public health policies as we face emerging social and economic challenges. The conference brings together perspectives from public health, health care, academic and industry, along with participation from end users and family caregivers to explore how to utilize technologies to promote health prevention, foster independent living and enhance quality of life.
