Great Health IT Conference Coming Up!

There are lots of conferences that take place in the USA and around the world on healthcare IT and medical device ecosystems — terrific gatherings like HIMSS and various other venues that cater to more about “what” you should be doing and not “how” to do the best implementations. If you’re a practitioner, engineer, project leader, or someone who’s responsible for actually creating software or hardware in the medical domain you’ll want to consider attending the IEEE International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems in Bristol England June 27 through 30. A sister conference, HealthGrid, is taking place at the same time (what would now be more aptly named “Health Cloud”).

A call for papers is open until April 20.

It’s a pretty technical conference that covers some wide areas of interest; take a look at the topics that are likely to be covered:

• Software Systems in Medicine
• Computer-Aided Diagnosis
• Knowledge Discovery & Data Mining
• Knowledge-Based Systems and Techniques
• Decision Support Systems
• Medical Devices with Embedded Computers
• Signal and Image Processing in Medicine
• Medical Image Segmentation & Compression
• Machine Vision in Medicine
• Medical Robotics
• Network and Telemedicine Systems
• Medical Databases & Information Systems
• Web-Based Delivery of Medical Information
• Multimedia Biomedical Databases
• Content Analysis of Biomedical Image Data
• Handheld Computing Applications in Medicine
• Bioinformatics in Medicine
• Pervasive Health Systems and Services
• e-Health
