CALL FOR INDUSTRY PARTICIPATION

eHealth 2009 is not just an academic conference - it's a unique opportunity for academia, industry, and healthcare organizations to meet.

Academics, businesses, and healthcare organizations are three groups of people who rarely meet, but have so much to gain from sharing ideas. eHealth 2009 will give you a chance to network not only with leading researchers from academia, but with representatives, policymakers, and commissioners from healthcare organizations such as the WHO, the NHS, the ECDC, and the Departments of Health from other nations.

Scope

Building on a very successful eHealth 2008 conference, the aim of eHealth 2009 is to bring together experts from academia, industry and global healthcare institutions to stimulate cutting-edge research discussions, share experience with real-world healthcare service providers and policy makers as well as provide numerous business opportunities.

Despite substantial budgets spent on eHealth in recent years, existing healthcare services do not sufficiently address the issue of patient privacy, trust, or quality-assurance, nor the potential in e-learning and web mining for delivering 21st-century healthcare systems for European citizens. The key topic of eHealth 2009 will be investigating a realistic potential of the Internet in providing evidence-based healthcare information and education to patients and global users.

Topics

The main conference program consists of over 65 high quality papers.
