Rapid progress in wearable technologies and humanoid robotics is opening new opportunities to transform healthcare spaces into adaptive, context-aware, and patient-centered systems that support continuous monitoring, assisted living, rehabilitation, and personalized interventions. The workshop focuses on the integration of wearable IoT technologies and robotic platforms to create smart healthcare ecosystems capable of real-time sensing, intelligent decision-making, and privacy-preserving data processing. By bridging engineering and life sciences, W2R-HEALTH seeks to stimulate collaboration and foster discussion on how sensing, computation, and robotic technologies can jointly shape the next generation of personalized healthcare solutions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Wearable sensing and body-area networks for healthcare monitoring • IoT architectures and platforms for smart healthcare environments • Context-aware and personalized healthcare applications • Human activity recognition and behavioral modeling for health assessment • Physiological and multimodal sensing with data fusion techniques • Humanoid and mobile robots for healthcare assistance and rehabilitation • Human–robot interaction in assistive and clinical environments • AI-based planning, reasoning, and decision-making for personalized care • Knowledge representation and intelligent healthcare spaces • Edge and fog computing for real-time and privacy-preserving processing • Machine learning and federated learning for healthcare analytics • Wireless and mobile networking solutions for smart healthcare systems • Security, privacy, and trust in IoT- and robot-enabled healthcare • Ethical, legal, and social implications of intelligent healthcare technologies • Clinical validation, user acceptance, and real-world deployment W2R-HEALTH encourages contributions that present novel research results, system prototypes, experimental studies, and interdisciplinary perspectives, with the goal of advancing intelligent, secure, and human-centered healthcare environments. -------------- FEATURES - Best Paper Award, - Best-selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to a workshop-dedicated Special Issue (SI) -------------- SUBMISSION RULES Papers must be formatted in the standard IEEE two-column format that is used by the IEEE WOWMOM 2026 main conference and must not exceed 6 pages in length (including references).
