The Second International Conference on Informatics and Assistive Technologies for Health-Care, HEALTHINFO 2017 |
| Call for Papers |
The progress in society and technology regarding the application of systems approaches information and data processing principles, modeling and information technology, computation and communications solutions led to a substantial improvement of problems in assistive healthcare, public health, and the everyday wellbeing. While achievements are tangible, open issues related to global acceptance, costs models, personalized services, record privacy, and real-time medical actions for citizens’ wellbeing are still under scrutiny.
HEALTHINFO 2017, The Second International Conference on Informatics and Assistive Technologies for Healthcare, Medical Support and Wellbeing tackles particular aspects belonging to health informatics systems, health information, health informatics data, health informatics technologies, clinical practice and training, and wellbeing informatics in terms of existing and needed solutions.
We solicit both academic, research, and industrial contributions. We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals.
Industrial presentations are not subject to the format and content constraints of regular submissions. We expect short and long presentations that express industrial position and status.
