Workshop Scope
With the recent technological advances in mobile device and technologies, the impact on mHealth becomes significant. This workshop in mHealth is held to provide a dedicated platform specifically designed for international authors to present their results and papers in this exciting emerging technology area.
The scope of mHealth is changing rapidly. Now it contains the use of computer, communication and networking software and hardware technologies, such as mobile phones (Apple iPhones, Google Android phones, etc.), personal digital assistants (iPod) , tablets (iPads), patient monitoring devices, a variety of communication devices and transmission technologies (Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, GPS, satellite), for providing health services to patients and needed people. mHealth includes software and data applications based on mobile devices and technologies. People have developed new areas of mHealth applications which can support wider or specialized patient and health services, making impressive healthcare capabilities and delivery in the areas.
This workshop aims at papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of mHealth. Authors are invited to submit original technical papers covering but not limited to the topics of interest listed below.
