CALL FOR PAPERS

15th IEEE International Conference on e-Health
Networking, Application & Services (IEEE HEALTHCOM 2013)
Lisbon, Portugal – October 09-12, 2013
http://www.ieee-healthcom.org

IEEE Healthcom 2013 is fully sponsored by the
IEEE Communications Society. It aims at bringing together interested parties
from around the world working in the health care field to exchange ideas, to
discuss innovative and emerging solutions, and to develop collaborations.
eHealth is defined as the cost-effective and secure use of information and
communications technologies in support of health and the related fields,
including health-care related services, surveillance, literature, education,
knowledge, and research, both at the local site and at a distance. It will make
personalised medicine possible and affordable in the near future. The adoption
of eHealth technologies in medical fields creates huge opportunities yet lots
of challenges still need to be resolved to build reliable, secure, and
efficient networks or platforms with great flexibility.

Prospective authors are cordially invited to
submit their original contributions covering completed or ongoing work related
to the eHealth area. The topics include but are not limited to

- Biomedical and biosensors engineering
- Body sensor networks and wearable sensor
systems
- Clinical biofeedback, decision support
systems, and tools
- eHealth information and network Infrastructure
- eHealth for public health (including disease
prevention, emergency preparedness, epidemiologic interventions)
- eHealth for aging (to support quality of life
for older adults, aging in place and independence) 
- Emerging eHealth applications
- Health grid and health cloud
- Health monitoring, traffic characterisation,
& management
- ICT-enabled personal health system
- Image and video processing on eHealth
- Network/Communications Infrastructures and
Architectures for Healthcare
- New IT-enhanced Models for Healthcare delivery
- Pervasive and ubiquitous computing on eHealth
- Practical Applications of e-Health
- Security and privacy on eHealth 
- Storage and Display Devices for eHealth
- Telemedicine and mobile telemedicine
