Co-Sponsored by: IEEE Communications Society / CreateNet / ICST
In Technical Cooperation with: ACM SIGMOBILE (pending) and IEEE
Computer Society (pending)
IEEE/CreateNet BROADMED 2005 is an international workshop focusing on
development of telemedicine applications, mainly motivated by the
advances in enabling technologies including telecommunication,
wireless, multimedia, data processing and the like. There is no doubt
that telemedicine has a great impact on the improvement of quality and
effectiveness of health care services, increases the accessibility of
such services, in particular for rural and sparsely populated areas,
and contributes to the improvement of quality of life of citizens.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
• Advances in diagnostic modalities and their requirements toward the communication network
• Collaborative technologies
• Virtual reality in telemedicine
• Network based home health care solutions
• Security and privacy issues in telemedicine
• Telemedicine in mobile environment
• Health care solutions based on broadband wireless access
• IT support for telemedicine; integration with PACS
• Technology elements (sensors, networking, user interfaces, storage,…)
• Telemedicine in different medical areas (tele-radiology, tele-cardiology etc.)
• Telemedicine training
• Telemedicine solutions for sparsely populated/geographically challenged areas
• Business models and cost-effectiveness assessment of telemedicine services
• Legal and ethical issues
• Case studies
***Important Dates***
• Final Paper Upload: June 30, 2005
• Notification of Acceptance: August 15, 2005
• Final Manuscript Due: August 31, 2005
