The call for papers attracted many submissions from Asia, Europe, Australia and the Americas. The program committee accepted 10 papers that cover a variety of topics, including: recognition of daily living activities, analysis of therapy exercises, fall detection, context aware recommendation, experience sharing, and medical image retrieval. In addition to paper presentations, posters and demos, MIIRH will feature an invited keynote talk by Prof. Linda Shapiro on "Image Analysis for Biomedical and Healthcare Applications" as well as an invited talk by Prof. Jean-Francois Dartigues on "Dementia and Dependency: a Major Challenge for the 21st century". We hope that these proceedings will serve as a valuable reference for healthcarerelated multimedia indexing and retrieval researchers and developers.
