For the first time the ICMCC Event 2010 offers a day of tutorials.
There will be 2 tutorials, each scheduled to last 6 hours, for which can be registered independently from the rest of the event.
The tutorials are:
- Biostatistics
(Rajaram Lakshminarayan, Ph.D., Quantum Enterprises, USA)- Biomedical research plays a crucial role in the practice of medicine and public health and has multiple components which include creation of data collection instruments, processes of collection of data, storage of data in an electronic database, its management for accuracy and quality, and finally, statistical analysis of the research data.
Biomedical research owing to its in-depth knowledge-based practices and drive for life-changing results has spawned novel opportunities at various levels. In this scenario, the need for well-trained experts in the areas of database design and data management and biostatistics cannot be over-emphasized.
This tutorial in biostatistics intends to introduce the biomedical researchers, especially, those who are involved in the clinical trials, to the fundamentals of bio-statistical methodologies that are commonly used in clinical trials.

- eHealth Platforms for Personal Health
(Prof. PD Dr Bernd Blobel, eHealth Competence Center University of Regensburg Medical Center, Germany)- The tutorial is based on long term international lecturing experiences at university level as well as common efforts performed in the EFMI WG “Security, Safety and Ethics (SSE)” and EFMI WG “Electronic Health Records (EHR)”. It addresses requirements and solutions for secure, reliable, trustworthy Health Information Systems (HIS) and Health Networks (HN) reflecting results of several international and European standards and projects but also related national and regional activities. It aims at providing a platform for information/discussion on legal, social, behavioral, organizational, and technical aspects/implications for trustworthy Health Telematics. The tutorial provides a comprehensive overview on security threats, risks, and, in particular, solutions in modern distributed Health Information Systems including Health Networks aiming at communication and application security. A special focus will be put on formally modeling security and privacy services embedded in advanced systems’ architectures. Taking the recent developments in European countries and beyond into account, personalized portable devices including cards will play an increasing role in providing IT-based health services. Devices for citizens/patients and for health professionals will change procedures and lead to new ones. Such devices can allow for a better privacy and safety strategies. Thus, patients’ and professionals’ empowerment, involvement, and integration into treatment and care processes are keys to be addressed in this tutorial. As special part, biometrics and ID management will be discussed.
