---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: divya ramachandran <divyalalitha(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 5:08 PM Subject: Workshop on Networked Healthcare Technology (NetHealth) WORKSHOP ON NETWORKED HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY (NetHealth) January 4, 2011 in Bangalore, India -- Co-located with COMSNETS 2011 http://www.comsnets.org/nethealth.html ** Papers due October 15 ** The world's pressing healthcare needs may benefit from judicious application of networked information technology. Future networked information systems will support, for example, clinical workflow, remote diagnosis and consultation, e-prescribing, and mobile data collection and surveillance, disease outbreak identification and patient participation in their own wellbeing and care. Mobile-computing technology may be particularly helpful in improving access to healthcare (geography, monetary and informational), by encouraging personal health management, and by enabling patient and provider mobility. Wearable medical devices are emerging, to measure essential vital signs like pulse, respiration, ECG, blood glucose level, and patient mobility. Handheld devices support clinicians in urban hospitals, and portable diagnostic kits allow remote healthcare teams to more easily reach rural villages. The widespread availability of mobile phones, and recent experiments with low-cost, long-range broadband wireless networks, bring connectivity to all these opportunities. We encourage papers that present novel ideas for networked computing technology in support of healthcare, and which are likely to invoke thoughtful discussion at the workshop. Research papers should focus on all aspects of networked healthcare technologies. Of interest, though not exclusively, are the following topics: - remote diagnosis and remote consultation - clinical applications of mobile or networked healthcare - mobile and wearable medical sensing applications - design of wearable and home-care health devices - sensor networks for public health monitoring and surveillance - networked mobile technology for rural healthcare - security and privacy in healthcare application - experience from technology deployments - usability of mobile health applications and devices - applications to emergency response and disaster response - cost-efficient and energy-efficient networking for remote healthcare - remote access to electronic health records Papers should be limited to 6 pages in IEEE format, not submitted concurrently elsewhere in any form, and present new contributions regarding either technology or experience in deploying technology. Papers should be submitted via EDAS. Paper/poster/demo submission deadline 15 October 2010 Notification of acceptance 21 November 2010 Camera ready submission 19 December 2010 Workshop 04 January 2011 PC chair : Satish Rath, Wipro Technologies PC members : Sangeeta Bhattacharya, Intel labs K.

Title: OpenMRS developer training in India Discussion contents: "Thought some of you could be interested in this. Joaquin ___________________________________________________________________ Founder, eHealth Systems Chile Research Fellow, Harvard Medical School/Partners In Health Moderator, GHDOnline.org<http://www.GHDOnline.org> ________________________________ From: dev(a)openmrs.org [mailto:dev@openmrs.org] On Behalf Of Darius Jazayeri Sent: Tuesday, September 07, 2010 1:14 PM To: openmrs-devel-l(a)LISTSERV.IUPUI.EDU Subject: [OPENMRS-DEV] OpenMRS developer training in India Hi All, We are going to be holding an OpenMRS developers training in Shimla, India (about a 7-8 hours drive away from Delhi airport), approximately from November 19-28. The idea is that this will be an advanced developer training. Attendees should already know the basics of OpenMRS development, and should have a project that they're working on. We'll focus on those specific projects, how they can best profit from features on the upcoming OpenMRS road map, and how work on those projects can move the whole OpenMRS enterprise forwards. More information will be forthcoming, but as I understand it many of you will need to be applying for visas ASAP. If you want to attend, email Sundeep Sahay (sundeep.sahay _at_ gmail.com<http://gmail.com>) and myself (djazayeri _at_ pih.org<http://pih.org>). -Darius ________________________________ Click here to unsubscribe<mailto:LISTSERV@LISTSERV.IUPUI.EDU?body=SIGNOFF%20openmrs-devel-l> from OpenMRS Developers' mailing list" -- View this post online: < http://www.ghdonline.org/tech/discussion/openmrs-developer-training-in-indi… > Unsubscribe or change your email notification settings: <http://www.ghdonline.org/users/thomas-odeny/edit/> Contact the GHDonline team: <http://www.ghdonline.org/contact/> You can reply to this discussion by responding directly to this e-mail; it will be shared with all community members and posted as is.
