Welcome to ConnectingHealth 2008 at
2nd International Workshop on Connecting Health:
Using IT to Assist
Patient Recovery
Scope
Various aspects of Information Technology can be used for
assisting with patient’s recovery after undergoing a surgical operation,
ranging from telemedicine networks for patient monitoring to involvements of
biocompatibility and biomaterials used for filling or blocking lumens and voids
of a patient. "ConnectingHealth"
has the primary objective of "connecting" healthcare professionals
and resources together, thereby effectively utilizing
available resources for helping patients get through their recovery process
after surgery. The workshop is
aimed at providing tutorials and technical papers on Pervasive Computing and Healthcare
with an emphasis on assisting remote patient monitoring with advanced
technologies.
The workshop will consist of the following major symposia or tracks:
Broadband Telemedicine Networks and Applications, covering technological advancements in high-speed wireless networking for secure transmission of medical information including communication between entities such as hospitals and wireless networks temporarily set up in a patient's home.
Information Technology in Biomaterials, include topics in computational analysis and modeling of natural or synthetic substance that incorporates or implants into a patient' s body under situations such as surface coatings and tissue replacements,
Healthcare Enterprise Systems, covering areas of System integration, Medical Data Storage, Quality Assurance for remote monitoring and safeguarding the injured and elderly. Design, implementation or architectures related to QoS-enabled healthcare networks
ConnectingHealth 2008 will certainly offer a unique forum for
researchers from academia, government and industry to share ideas and
disseminate new results in these important areas.
