HealthCom 2012 - IEEE International Conference on e-Health Networking, Application & Services

It is our great pleasure to announce that the 14th IEEE International Conference on e-Health Networking, Application & Services (IEEE Healthcom2012) will be held in Beijing, the capital city of China, from Oct. 11 to Oct. 13, 2012. Beijing is an old city with the history of being capital for more than 800 years and a modernized international metropolis as well, hosting 2008 Olympic Games.

Healthcom 2012 is fully sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society. It aims at bringing together interested parties from around the world working in the health care field to exchange ideas, to discuss innovative and emerging solutions, and to develop collaborations. eHealth is defined as the cost-effective and secure use of information and communications technologies in support of health and the related fields, including health-care related services, surveillance, literature, education, knowledge, and research, both at the local site and at a distance. It will make personalized medicine possible and affordable in the near future. The adoption of eHealth technologies in medical fields creates huge opportunities yet lots of challenges still need to be resolved to build reliable, secure, and efficient networks or platforms with great flexibility.
