Ubi-HealthTech 2015 - 2nd International Symposium on Future Information and Communication Technologies for Ubiquitous HealthCare

In many countries around the world, public healthcare is under severe economic and demographic stresses due to rapidly rising per capita costs and aging populations. Therefore, many governments and healthcare organizations are striving to improve the health of individuals and communities by strengthening their healthcare systems, enhancing methods of disease detection and prevention, and providing better healthcare services. It is expected that advances in information and communication technologies will play a pivotal role in the development of new principles, theory, methodologies and systems to enable ubiquitous healthcare worldwide. In the future, these ubiquitous healthcare services will be offered by the development of diverse sensing techniques and advance electronics technologies to significantly lower the economic cost. These ubiquitous healthcare systems will be suitable for many promising applications of Ubiquitous Health and Environment such as smart homes and hospitals, which will contribute to worldwide healthcare development.
This symposium aims to bring together experts in engineering, communications, physical sciences, and health sciences as well as computer and computation specialists with the common goal of applying information and communication technologies for Ubiquitous-healthcare and Ubiquitous-environment systems and applications, which are at the top of the agenda in most countries. Potential topics include, but are not limited to::
Smarter homes, better healthcare
Emerging ICT systems in U-health
U-Health for aging
Wearable and Implantable Wireless Sensors for U-health
Medical electronics for better healthcare
Advanced Si technologies for emerging applications in U-health
Smarter planet
Smart medical Centers&U-Hospitals
Pervasive and ubiquitous Wireless Health Systems and Services
Biomedical and biosensors engineering
Body Sensor Networks
Technology for Smart connected Health
Security and Privacy for E-Health
