scientific conference eHealth 2016
Starting in 2016, the primary language of the scientific conference will be English
The eHealth conference series is organized by the Austrian Working Group of Health Informatics and eHealth since 2007. Since 2013, it takes place within the framework of eHealth Summit Austria, a major health ICT event organized by HIMSS Europe (Health Information and Management Systems Society). Each year, this event attracts up to 300 participants from academia, industry and health care organizations. This year, we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of this conference. In keeping with its motto, "Health Informatics meets eHealth", the eHealth conference series provides a platform for researchers, practitioners, decision makers and vendors to discuss innovative health informatics and eHealth solutions so as to improve the quality and efficiency of health care.
Starting in 2016, the primary conference language will be English in order to address the increasingly international focus of eHealth and to acknowledge the importance of cross-border health ICT. A special topic for eHealth2016 will be “Predictive modeling in health care – from prediction to prevention”. Future ICT systems need to include methods of machine learning and predictive analytics in order to provide actionable information to health carers and to support preventive health care concepts.
