The forthcoming infrastructure for communications, sensing, and storing of digital information, together with the incipient ICT-based services converge to create an exceptional opportunity time for addressing challenging needs of the health systems of the future. This conference will be looking at the dawn of a new age of the e-Health science and technologies. It will do so understanding future Internet as the enabling substratum.

TOPICS

e-Health has become a central element for the implementation of solutions demanded by the provision of health in our societies. It is a multidisciplinary field where expertise on biomedicine, nursing, psychology, public policy and administration, education, engineering in several disciplines and computing converges. The topic is deceivingly vast and consequently we are seeking to attract a multidisciplinary audience with special focus on the harnessing of Future Internet e-Health infrastructure and services. Contributions are welcomed in the following or related topics:

Health necessities

Full health coverage; prevention, diagnosing, treatment and monitoring

Knowledge distribution and appropriation

Support to and coordination of logistic distribution of health services

Actuation

Health systems managing and administration

Well-being support

Intelligent operating theatre

Supporting services

Support to evidence-based medicine

Data mining, knowledge discovery and big data

Safety and privacy

Ambient intelligence

Infrastructure

Sensors and devices; integration and internet of things

Cloud storing and recovery

Processing over the Internet; remote control

Communications; 4G/5G, etc.

The emphasis will be in pragmatic short and mid-term knowledge, but visionary long-term contributions will be welcomed. Focus is on scientific contributions, but development and applications of technologies will also be considered.
