Call for Papers:

For large scale deployment we need new and adequate business models, beyond traditional business cases and focusing on social-economical and non-financial elements as change management and adaptation of innovative Telemedicine systems or services. New business models are needed to disseminate and implement next generation technologies (Medicine2.0) that are smart, simple, affective and interoperable, integrated and interconnected in order to share data, information and knowledge and to foster innovative care delivery processes (apomediation).

BUSMMed 2010, The International Workshop on Business Modeling for the Next Generation of Telemedicine Systems and Services, aims to provide a theoretical framework for new business models for next generation technology upon which we can identify critical design issues to be taken into account when developing business models for telemedicine systems and services. Based on earlier studies the workshop will show several best-practices for introducing and implementing new Telemedicine systems and services based on new business models. The lessons learned from that studies will be the input for the workshop to identify critical design issues for Telemedicine services and systems. This workshop will bring together researchers, experts from different countries and from different disciplines (technology providers, health care management, organizational management, medicine, social sciences) interested in topics like next generation technology (Health 2.0; Medicine 2.0; electronic health care portals/records, home care systems and services; domotica systems, personalized lifestyle technology, serious gaming) and in customer value creation, disruptive innovations, and business modeling.

The workshop will provide research and best practices to set the agenda for future orientations and to create critical design issues for new business models. We encourage contributions (research papers, panels, special presentations, standardization, lessons learned, etc.), on the following topics, but not limited to:

  • Next generation technology (PHR, Domotica, Social networking) (what business models do they require?)
  • Business models for new Telemedicine systems and services (what are the critical design issues?)
  • Customer value creation (do's and don'ts)
  • Business models and associated best-practices (identifying the underlining business models and lessons learned beyond the individual case)
  • Implementation and sustainability of health care business models (how they can be used for implementing technology?)
  • The international drivers/constraints (regulatory, legal elements, funding mechanism, health care quality systems) of global Telemedicine systems and services (e.g., infectious diseases)

Please send your proposals to petre@iaria.org

Panel proposals:

The organizers encourage scientists and industry leaders to organize dedicated panels dealing with controversial and challenging topics and paradigms. Panel moderators are asked to identify their guests and manage that their appropriate talk supports timely reach our deadlines. Moderators must specifically submit an official proposal, indicating their background, panelist names, their affiliation, the topic of the panel, as well as short biographies. The panel's slide deck will be posted on the IARIA's site.
