17th IEEE International Conference on e-Health Networking, Application &
Services (HealthCom 2015)
October 14 - 17, 2015
Boston, MA, USA

CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE HealthCom 2015 is fully sponsored by the IEEE Communications
Society. It aims at bringing together interested parties from around the
world working in the healthcare field to exchange ideas, discuss
innovative and emerging solutions, and 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 e-Health technologies in medical fields
creates huge opportunities; however, a number of challenges still need
to be addressed to build reliable, secure, and efficient networks or
platforms with great flexibility.
Prospective authors are cordially invited to submit their original
contributions covering completed or ongoing work related to the e-Health
area. The topics include but are not limited to:
Medical, Biomedical and Health Informatics
* Electronic medical records and electronic prescription
* Data preprocessing, cleansing, management and mining
* Data quality assessment and improvement
* Medical imaging
* Computer-aided detection, hypothesis generation and diagnosis
* Evidence-based medicine

Communications and Networking
* Communication/network infrastructures, architectures and protocols for
e-Health
* Antennas and propagation
* Proximity-based communication, group communication and social networks
* Power-efficient communication
* Ultra wideband communication
* Delay-tolerant, fault-tolerant and reliable communication
* Cognitive communication for medical bands
* In-hospital networking, body area networking and cloud-integrated
networking
* Software-defined networks and network management
* Nanoscale/molecular communications

Services and Applications
* e-Health services/applications for physical and mental health; for
example, in acute care, chronic care, mental health care, biomedical
engineering, rehabilitation, prosthetics, elderly/nursing care, smart
homes and hospitals, and rural/wilderness practice.
* e-Health services/applications for sports and exercise; for example,
in training prescription and feedback, concussion detection/monitoring,
life-logging and fitness monitoring.
* e-Health services/applications for public health; for example, disease
prevention, pandemic preparedness, epidemiological interventions and
smart cities.
* e-Health services/applications for extreme environments; for example,
in fire fighting, disaster response, evacuation assistance, medical
triage, space travel/exploration, deep diving and deep sea exploration.
* Quality of experience (QoE) with e-Health services/applications.
* Security, privacy and trust for e-Health services/applications
* Emerging cloud-based services/applications including health clouds/grids
