EHST 2014 - 8th International Symposium on e-Health Services and Technologies

The goal of EHST is therefore to address the fundamental modeling challenges related to e-Health services and technologies. We believe that this event will contribute to the dissemination of relevant research results, supporting in this way the wider applicability of advanced technology in healthcare.
