  text: Prolonged life expectancy along with the increasing complexity of medicine
    and health services raises health costs worldwide dramatically. Advancements in
    ubiquitous computing applications in combination with the use of sophisticated
    intelligent sensor networks may provide a basis for help. Whilst the smart health
    concept has much potential to support the concept of the emerging P4-medicine
    (preventive, participatory, predictive, and personalized), such high-tech medicine
    produces large amounts of high-dimensional, weakly-structured data sets and massive
    amounts of unstructured information. All these technological approaches along
    with “big data” are turning the medical sciences into a data-intensive science.
    To keep pace with the growing amounts of complex data, smart hospital approaches
    are a commandment of the future, necessitating context aware computing along with
    advanced interaction paradigms in new physical-digital ecosystems. In such a system
    the medical doctors are supported by their smart mobile medical assistants on
    managing their floods of data semi-automatically by following the human-in-the-loop
    concept. At the same time patients are supported by their health assistants to
    facilitate a healthier life, wellness and wellbeing.
