Conferences
CfP deadline has been extended till 8 May 2013.
The general theme of MEDICON 2013 is “Research and Development of Technology for Sustainable Healthcare”. This decade is being characterized by the appearance and use of emergent technologies under development. This situation has produced a tremendous impact on Medicine and Biology from which it is expected an unparalleled evolution in these disciplines towards novel concept and practices. The consequence will be a significant improvement in health care and well-fare, i.e. the shift from a reactive medicine to a preventive medicine. This shift implies that the citizen will play an important role in the healthcare delivery process, what requires a comprehensive and personalized assistance. In this context, society will meet emerging media, incorporated to all objects, capable of providing a seamless, adaptive, anticipatory, unobtrusive and pervasive assistance. 
The challenge will be to remove current barriers related to the lack of knowledge required to produce new opportunities for all the society, while new paradigms are created for this inclusive society to be socially and economically sustainable, and respectful with the environment. In this way, the conference program will be focused on the convergence of biomedical engineering topics ranging from formalized theory through experimental science and technological development to practical clinical applications.

Del 13 al 15 de junio se celebrarán en Málaga las XIX Jornadas de Informática Sanitaria en Andalucía bajo el lema de “El Beneficio Compartido”, en lo que supone una oportunidad sin par para compartir conocimiento entre las administraciones, las empresas y los profesionales del sector TIC en sanidad con el fin de hacer un poco de luz sobre el rol de las TIC en el convulso panorama de la sanidad nacional.
La sanidad es uno de los puntos de atención de la agenda política y portada habitual en los medios de comunicación. Es evidente que el problema del coste sanitario está en primer lugar y en el subconsciente de todos está la idea de que las TIC pueden colaborar de forma relevante a solucionar muchos de los desafíos planteados.

The mHealth revolution is changing the way that consumers engage in healthy behaviors, patients manage their own care, physicians manage their practices and payers interact with their members. Thousands of smartphone apps or sophisticated health monitoring tools have been developed or are currently in design that not only improve efficiency for care management, but open up new lines of communication for physician to physician and patient to physician.

One of the primary areas of growth for mHealth is in the developing world.
People in the developing world need access to basic healthcare. As the number of mobile phone users across this demographic continues to skyrocket it is expanding the base of mHealth users across the region.
The consensus across leading healthcare organisations and telecoms providers is that mHealth will be able to provide tangible results in improving and delivering healthcare.
The number of global mobile phone subscribers has grown to over 3.4 billion, or approximately half of the world’s population, with the greatest growth in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Mobile technologies enable eHealth systems to decentralize and thus extend their reach to remote settings, as well as to individual members of the health sector and the general public.

XIV Congreso Nacional de Informática Médica
El uso de las TIC como componente esencial en la asistencia no se limita exclusivamente a facilitar la comunicación de información, sino que tiene un papel clave en aspectos como:
- Soportes a la decisión clínica
- Recopilación y uso compartido de la información clínica.
- Participación del paciente en sus cuidados de salud.
Para poder garantizar una asistencia eficiente y de calidad es necesario que los sistemas de información sobre los que se apoya el desarrollo de la asistencia sanitaria sean interoperables, de manera que la información sea legible y tratable por los diferentes sistemas con los que operan los profesionales.

Something has changed. Something is different. And following the success of our events in the United States and in Europe, it makes sense that we engage the unmistakable influence India, China and other Asian countries have had in shaping how we think about innovation and how we solve healthcare challenges.
At Health 2.0 India we will witness Health 2.0 technologies intersecting with ancient culture; where modern medicine and technology collide with the Ayurvedic mindset; where mobile health (mHealth) connects the poor, reaches the unreachable and engages the influentials; where the buzz around healthcare is not just about medical tourism, but also used as soft diplomacy in the fight on terror as well as a tool to strengthen social development initiatives; and where wellness strikes a yoga pose or leverages a Bollywood tune.

The theme of the conference is Quality of Life through Quality of Information.
We intend to focus on the role of e-health in pursuing benefits in terms of quality of life for patients, health-care personnel, citizens and the society.
The topic can be analyzed from many points of view, and MIE2012 will provide a unique platform for fruitful exchange of ideas and experiences among the actors and stakeholders of ICT supported healthcare. Both methodologies and examples of applications are the base for the discussion, and all of us will learn not only from success stories in the field, but also from failures. The opinion and experiences of both the designers/planners and the addresses/users of e-health systems are of great importance when the target is the global improvement of the quality of life, at personal and public level. For this reason we do encourage health professionals, policy makers, and also patient/citizen associations to take an active part in the conference and share their knowledge.

The Health Informatics Society of Australia (HISA) is pleased to invite you to participate in HIC 2012, Australia’s Health Informatics Conference, to be held from 30 July – 2 August 2012 at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre.
With the primary theme of Health Informatics – Building a Healthcare Future through Trusted Information, HIC2012 will focus on consumers, practitioners, researchers and industry.
The momentum behind e-health and health informatics is soaring and there is much international attention being focused on the Australian e-health community – our research, developments and implementations. The foundations for an e-health led transformation of healthcare are already with us. The Federal Government’s investment in personally controlled electronic health records, lead implementation sites, telehealth delivery and the building of a National Broadband Network attests to this momentum. Indeed, the PCEHR will be launched 30 days before the conference and will no-doubt be a topic heavily discussed during HIC.
