Workshop Overview

Conference Topics

Key topics include advanced research in:

  • Micro and nano sensors.
  • Wearable and implantable systems.
  • Technological trends in ICT solutions for patient self-management.
  • Health and life management and personalised interactions.
  • Business vision and experiences, and implementation viability.

Format

The main Scientific Program will be structured over seven sessions on every key topic and three key note speakers. The Scientific Sessions will follow the format of round tables with invited experts that will debate around the central topic. Open discussion with the floor will be encouraged by the chairman to enable more active intervention of all attendees.

Following on from the success of the previous edition we are going to move forward and leave time in the program for researchers and companies to present free papers, in poster format and demos, enabling peer to peer discussions in a friendly atmosphere.

We have also allocated an exhibition space and facilities for organisations that want to be present with their products and technologies.


Who should attend?

  • Academia and technology research experts.
  • Health care executives.
  • Influential health, business and ICT professionals.
  • Disease management organizations.
  • ICT industry and SMEs with business in medical devices, patient care, health information systems.
  • Payers, providers and policy makers.
  • Physicians, nurses and allied health professionals.

Social Environment

Since networking is one of the most interesting facets of pHealth conference, we have dedicated part of the program to social events that are going to give you a lot of opportunities to make personal contacts while enjoying the great offer of culture, fun, food and tourist attractions of Valencia.
