On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we would like to welcome you to the third International ACM Workshop on Pervasive Wireless Healthcare -- MobileHealth 2013 -- in Bangalore, India. After the first two successful editions of MobileHealth workshop in Paris, France (MobiHoc 2011), and Hilton Head Island, USA (MobiHoc 2012) respectiveley, the third edition of the workshop is co-located with the 14th edition of ACM MobiHoc'13 conference. MobileHealth has now established itself as a highquality 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 2013 possible. In particular, we are greatly indebted to our Technical Program Committee members who worked hard to produce a comprehensive, high-quality program. The workshop received 16 submissions of which 9 full papers were accepted for final presentation. This year, MobileHealth'13 features two keynote speechs, delivered by Professor Dharma P. Agrawal from the University of Cincinnati, and by Professor Prasanth Perugupalli, Director of R&D at IMEC India labs in Bangalore.
