Description of the special session/workshop:
- This special session mainly focusing the state-of-the-art Healthcare Technologies, Medical Imaging, Biomedical Signal Processing, Computational Intelligence and Bioinformatics are used to monitor specific diseases/disorders of patients. The objective is to initiate conversations among technologists,engineers, scientists, and clinicians to synergize their efforts in producing low-cost, high-performance, highly efficient, deployable secured IoT systems in different medical applications. However, the main challenge in smart healthcare is how to manage with respect to critical applications, where a number of connected devices generate a large amount of medical data. This large volume of data, often called big data, cannot readily be processed by traditional data processing algorithms and applications.
Scientific and original research papers are invited in the following theme areas for oral presentations during the conference. We anticipate that the special session will open new entrance for further research and technology improvements in this important area.
