IEEE HealthCom 2015 aims at bringing together interested parties from around the world working in the healthcare field to exchange ideas, discuss innovative and emerging solutions, and develop collaborations. eHealth is defined as the cost-effective and secure use of information and communications technologies in support of health and the related fields, including health-care related services, surveillance, literature, education, knowledge and research, both at the local site and at a distance. It will make personalized medicine possible and affordable in the near future. The adoption of e-Health technologies in medical fields creates huge opportunities; however, a number of challenges still need to be addressed to build reliable, secure, and efficient networks or platforms with great flexibility.

Prospective authors are cordially invited to submit their original contributions covering completed or ongoing work related to the e-Health area. The topics include but are not limited to:

Medical, Biomedical and Health Informatics

Electronic medical records (EMR) and electronic prescription

Data preprocessing, cleansing, management and mining

Data quality assessment and improvement

Medical imaging

Computer-aided detection, hypothesis generation and diagnosis

Evidence-based medicine
