Title: Intelligent eHealth Systems for Personalized Medical Care
Date and time: Monday 5 September 2005, 13.45 - 17.45
Nano Experts Running this Workshop
Chair: Dr Harald Reiter (Philips Research Laboratories, Aachen, Germany), and
Dr Loukianos Gatzoulis (DG INFSO, European Commission, Belgium.
Abstract
Within the next few years, healthcare systems will start undergoing a fundamental change towards the provision of personalised care and the extension of care beyond hospitals and care institutes. The convergence of ICT, micro-, nano- and bio- technologies holds great promise for healthcare. Intelligent textiles and wearable monitoring systems, implantable micro- and nano-systems, neuro-stimulating implants, Lab-on-a-Chip, informatics and genomics are some of the key technologies in realising the vision of personalised medical care.
The workshop focused on the potential opportunities for healthcare arising from this convergence of ICT, bio- and nano- technologies. It included presentations from the EU-funded projects WEALTHY, MYHEART and HEALTHY AIMS, as well as additional presentations on multidisciplinary topics. The objective was to reflect upon, suggest and discuss visions for potential research directions in future research programmes.
