On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we would like to welcome you to the 2nd International ACM Workshop on Pervasive Wireless Healthcare -- MobileHealth 2012 -- in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, USA. After the first successful edition of MobileHealth -- MobileHealth'11 -- in Paris, France, the second edition of the workshop is collocated for the second time with the 13th edition of ACM MobiHoc'12 conference. MobileHealth has now established itself as a high-quality forum for practitioners and researchers from Academia, research labs and industry to interact and exchange experiences about theoretical and practical aspects of wireless healthcare networking and systems. It would be an important chance to discuss and understand what aspects have to be considered to provide effective pervasive wireless healthcare systems.
Producing a conference is always a team effort involving many volunteers and we would like to thank the team that made MobileHealth 2012 possible. In particular, we are greatly indebted to our Technical Program Committee members who worked hard to produce a comprehensive, highquality program. The workshop received 15 submissions of which 9 full papers were accepted for final presentation. MobileHealth'12 also features a keynote speech delivered by Professor Roozbeh Jafari from the University of Texas at Dallas.
