FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS



3rd International Conference on Global Telehealth - GT2014

(to be held jointly with ICT4Health Conference 2014)

Durban, South Africa 10-11 November 2014

“Integrated, Innovative, Scalable and Sustainable Solutions”

http://gt2014.org



Venue:

Subtropical Durban, with its spectacular beaches, beautiful inland
valleys and sugar country, blend of many cultures and cuisines, and a
wide range of local tourist attractions to suit all tastes, is the
host city for the 3rd Global Telehealth Conference, 10-11 November
2014.  The luxurious Southern Sun Elangeni and Maharani Hotel complex
located in a prime beachfront setting offers an inspiring location for
the gathering of thought leaders and researchers, to share current
work and discuss international trends in Telehealth and eHealth.

Scope:

Telehealth, including Telemedicine and Telecare, has experienced rapid
increase in adoption worldwide.  Deployment of new information and
communications technologies, and enabling systems and infrastructure,
offer many avenues for implementation of Telehealth solutions.
Widespread initiatives by public and private sector health providers
along with government reimbursement and regulatory support are
transforming formerly small scale activities into widely adopted
solutions, improving access and quality of healthcare globally.  The
Telehealth domain of interest covers a broad scope: from enabling
direct clinical interventions and interactions by real-time or
store-forward processes, to communicating and managing health
information in electronic formats, to patient centred care needs such
as personal monitoring and care team support, and to education, policy
and professional aspects. Mainstream activities in healthcare systems
internationally address these areas, and so this conference provides a
platform for sharing of best practice and directions.  Telehealth is
also acting as a major change driver in global health, particularly in
resource constrained countries.  This is aided by the rapid uptake of
leapfrog technologies such as mobile wireless communications, smart
phones and tablet computers, and new models of healthcare delivery.
The conference will give emphasis to this sector and invites
participation from Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.

Contributions are sought addressing current research and practice in
Telehealth, including (but not limited to):



• clinical applications of telemedicine

• teleconsultation and telecollaboration

• teleprocedures and robotic surgical methods

• telecare and remote patient monitoring

• tele-education and clinical training

• evaluation and benefits of telehealth

• smart homes and assistive technologies

• mobile, web and wireless applications

• telehealth software and systems

• telehealth technologies and methodologies

• telehealth for rural or remote areas

• telehealth in resource limited settings

• telehealth policy and governance issues

• international trends and perspectives for telehealth




Submissions:

Original unpublished contributions in all fields of Telehealth (and
closely related areas of eHealth) are invited.  These may be offered
as Full Papers (maximum 8 pages or approx 4000 words, not previously
published) subject to expert peer review by an international programme
committee of technical experts, or as Short Papers (maximum 2 pages or
approx 1000 words) also subject to peer review.  It is intended that
Full Papers will appear in a commercially published and indexed e-book
in the IOS Press series “Studies in Health Technology and Informatics”
and may selectively be considered for invited journal publication in
an extended form. Short Papers will appear in separate proceedings to
be distributed to delegates at the event.

Submissions must contain a clear statement of aims, methods, results
and conclusions for the work reported.  Papers will be judged on
originality, significance, technical quality, relevance to the
conference, and presentation.  Submission of a Full Paper or Short
Paper will imply an undertaking that, should it be accepted, at least
one author will register and attend the conference to present the
work. Submissions should be prepared in Word or LaTeX using the IOS
Press book formatting instructions and style files available at
http://www.iospress.nl/service/authors/latex-and-word-tools-for-book-authors/
