*************************************************************************************** 3rd International Conference on Innovation in Medicine and Healthcare (InMed-15) 11-12 September 2015, Kyoto, Japan http://inmed15.inmedhealth.org/ ***************************************************************************************
Innovation in Medicine and Healthcare 2015 (InMed-15) will be held at Suzaku Campus, Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto, Japan - organised by KES International, and the Research Center of Advanced ICT for Medical and Healthcare at Ritsumeikan University. We are delighted to invite contributions to InMed-15, featuring a Workshop on Smart Medical and Healthcare Systems. This conference will gather a multi-disciplinary group consisting of researchers and engineers, managers, students and practitioners from the medical arena, to discuss the ways that innovation, knowledge exchange and enterprise can be applied to issues relating to medicine, surgery, healthcare and the issues of an ageing population. Proposals for papers to be presented and published in the proceedings, Special Sessions, Workshops and Exhibitors from industry or research centres, are welcome. ================ Conference Scope ================ Innovation in Medicine & Healthcare is a conference covering innovative approaches to meeting the needs of both practitioners and patients internationally. Papers are invited from both the medical profession and from whose supporting them. Topics (although this list is not intended to be exhaustive) might include:- -Smart medical devices & systems -Innovation in Regenerative Medicine -Gene Therapy -Sensors -Medical Diagnostics and Biomarkers -Service Delivery -Technology Enabled Healthcare Services -Advanced Medical Materials Technology -Telehealth -Regulatory frameworks for new technology -Workshop on Smart Medical Systems We are pleased to announce the Smart Medical and Healthcare Systems 2015 workshop to take place within the Innovation in Medicine and Healthcare Conference.The aim of the workshop is to gather a multi-disciplinary group of experts and interested non-experts consisting of smart systems researchers and engineers, practitioners from the medical arena, managers and students to discuss the ways that intelligent systems and smart technology can be applied to issues relating to medicine, surgery and health care. Contributions are sought on a wide range of applicable topics including the following:- -Intelligent interpretation of x-ray images -Computer axial tomography scans, ultrasound images and other sensor data -Medical data mining; medical informatics; smart patient record systems -Medical sensors and sensor systems; wired and wireless sensor networks; smart monitoring and reporting -Expert and case-based reasoning systems for medical diagnosis and decision support in medicine and healthcare -Robotics surgical and micro-surgical systems; robotic surgical assistants -Robotic artificial joints and joint assistance systems -Integrated medical systems to assist in delivering quality health care during spaceflight and exploration -The use of smart systems to to alleviate problems in the ageing population-Smart medical devices -Neural networks, fuzzy paradigms, genetic algorithms, expert systems in medical and healthcare applications ========== Proceedings ========== The conference proceedings will be published by Springer as book chapters in a volume of the KES Smart Innovation Systems and Technologies series, submitted for indexing in Scopus and Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI) and the Web of Science. ============= Invited Sessions ============= An invited session consists of a presentation session of 6 to 12 or more papers on a specific conference topic, organised as half or full day mini-conference. We invite senior scientists who have a special interest in a specific conference topic to take responsibility for an invited session, gathering papers from a range of research expertise around the world. Researchers who would like to organise one or more Invited Sessions on topics falling within the scope of the conference are invited to submit a proposal for consideration.
