PACIE 2013 - Special Session Prospects and Applications of Computational Intelligence in e-Health

Healthcare is one of the most significant challenges in aging societies. It has always been a difficult but fertile area in informatics research. The use of modern information technology can improve quality of care, reduce high costs and open avenues for knowledge and science. The term e-Health or health informatics can be defined as healthcare process supported by electronic processes and communication. This term encompass a wide range of the services or systems that are at the edge of medicine and information technology. These services include, but not limited to: electronic health records, telemedicine, the use of mobile devices in collecting health data and providing real-time patient monitoring, healthcare information systems and intelligent medical diagnostic systems. This special session aims to provide an opportunity for researchers to share their experiences, ideas and efforts in the area of innovative information technology solutions in computational intelligence methods towards application to healthcare: medical imaging, e-Health systems, mobile health support, data mining and risk modeling, clinical decision making.
This special session is expected to bring together research topics in the area of the intelligent methods for e-Health research. The focus areas include (but not limited to) the following topics:
? Healthcare Informatics/e-Health
? e-Health Architectures and e-Health Services
? Implementation and Integration of e-Health Services
? Human-Computer Interaction for providing e-Health solutions
? Computational Intelligence in Medicine and Healthcare for providing e-Health solutions
? Computational Intelligence in Medical Decisions Making for providing e-Health solutions
? Data Visualization, Clinical Data Visualization for providing e-Health solutions
? Secondary data use from large health databases
? Sensors and Wireless Sensor Networks for Healthcare for providing e-Health solutions
? RFID in Healthcare
? m-Health as a solution to e-Health
? Teleinformatics in Healthcare, and Telemedicine
? Mobile Technology for Efficient Healthcare
? Augmented Reality in Healthcare
