[Imageworld] Workshop on Networked Healthcare Technology (NetHealth)

[Kumar Rajamani]

WORKSHOP ON NETWORKED HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY (NetHealth)
        January 4, 2011 in Bangalore, India -- Co-located with COMSNETS 2011

** Papers due October 15 **

The world's pressing healthcare needs may benefit from judicious application
of networked information technology. Future networked information systems
will support, for example, clinical workflow, remote diagnosis and
consultation, e-prescribing, and mobile data collection and surveillance,
disease outbreak identification and patient participation in their own
wellbeing and care. Mobile-computing technology may be particularly helpful
in improving access to healthcare (geography, monetary and informational),
by encouraging personal health management, and by enabling patient and
provider mobility. Wearable medical devices are emerging, to measure
essential vital signs like pulse, respiration, ECG, blood glucose level, and
patient mobility. Handheld devices support clinicians in urban hospitals,
and portable diagnostic kits allow remote healthcare teams to more easily
reach rural villages.

The widespread availability of mobile phones, and recent experiments with
low-cost, long-range broadband wireless networks, bring connectivity to all
these opportunities. We encourage papers that present novel ideas for
networked computing technology in support of healthcare, and which are
likely to invoke thoughtful discussion at the workshop.

Research papers should focus on all aspects of networked healthcare
technologies. Of interest, though not exclusively, are the following topics:
-          remote diagnosis and remote consultation
-          clinical applications of mobile or networked healthcare
-          mobile and wearable medical sensing applications
-          design of wearable and home-care health devices
-          sensor networks for public health monitoring and surveillance
-          networked mobile technology for rural healthcare
-          security and privacy in healthcare application
-          experience from technology deployments
-          usability of mobile health applications and devices
-          applications to emergency response and disaster response
-          cost-efficient and energy-efficient networking for remote
healthcare
-          remote access to electronic health records

Papers should be limited to 6 pages in IEEE format, not submitted
concurrently elsewhere in any form, and present new contributions regarding
either technology or experience in deploying technology. Papers should be
submitted via EDAS.
