Invited Session on Intelligent Systems for Healthcare 2nd KES
International Symposium on 15-16 July 2009, Italy Aims and Scope Healthcare
encompasses a wide number of models, services and systems that are continuously
changing together with healthcare environments. The role of intelligent
systems, in this field, is not only to organize and handle the information
mining and distribution, but also to make human-computer interaction processes
simple and effective, in one word, usable. In accordance with their goal, IT
systems can be designed around the patient, rather than around the healthcare
practitioners, such as doctors, technicians, and nurses. In both cases, they
have to simplify the way users can visualize, edit and interact with medical
data. This invited session at KES-IIMSS 2009 provides a forum for researchers
and practitioners to present and discuss advances in the research and
development of usable intelligent systems and their application in this field.
Topics of Interests usable user interfaces for medical environments; usable healthcare devices and instruments; intelligent multimodal interactive systems; medical data visualization and analysis; knowledge-based virtual and augmented reality; collaborative and distributed health care; healthcare education systems; security practices in healthcare systems; ontologies for healthcare; intelligent data mining for healthcare; decision support systems for healthcare. Chairs Giuseppe De Pietro (ICAR-CNR, Italy) Luigi Gallo (ICAR-CNR - University of Naples ‘Parthenope’, Italy)
