Come join us at MobiHealthInf !!
22 - 23 January, 2010 - Valencia, Spain
By bringing people interested and working in engineering of mobile and
wireless computing, social sciences, management and medicine in the same
room, the MobiHealthInf workshop is becoming a interesting innovative
way to look at technologies and how we use them so that they mobilize
health related information and help us improve healthcare provision.
In 2010 the MobiHealthInf workshop, which runs parallel to the
BIOSTEC/HealthInf conference, will take place in Valencia, Spain between
22 and 23 of January.
You can come and present a paper on any of the workshop topics. This
will be published if accepted after peer review and according to the
Biostec Conference guidelines.
We will also have the pleasure of having to distinguished keynote
Speakers:
Ignacio Basagoiti, Medical Director, technologies for Health and
Wellness, ITACA, Spain discussing the Theme: “The Revolutionary Power of
Information”
Sergio Guillen, Director of TSB, Spain, On the Theme: “From Ideas to
Projects in Informatics”

The Second International Workshop on Mobilizing Health
Information to Support Healthcare-related Knowledge Work - MobiHealthInf
2010
22 - 23 January, 2010 - Valencia, Spain
In conjunction with the 3rd International Joint Conference on Biomedical
Engineering Systems and Technologies - BIOSTEC 2010
Scope
International workshop on Mobilizing health information to support
healthcare-related knowledge work - MobiHealthInf 2010 aims to created
bridges between diverse technical areas of mobile and wireless
computing, software and hardware (like sensors) advancement, electronic
health record developments and those areas related to IS more broadly
like IS implementation studies management of IS, Computer-supported
collaborative working (CSCW) and Knowledge management/work over a common
idea, that of mobilizing health information to improve healthcare
provision. The idea is to study each individual contribution paper (more
than one is acceptable in any topic) collectively trying to identify how
it relates with moving from "classic" clinical information systems to
clinical knowledge work tools.
While much research in health informatics has focused on desktop-based
infrastructures, the advent of wireless and mobile computing poses new
challenges to those in health organizations wishing to get the best out
of these new technologies. One of the challenges is on how to integrate
Mobile Information and Communication technology (MICT) into existing
Clinical/Hospital information systems. Another is how to integrate
novelties from areas of sensors, remote monitoring, as well as data-
mining and data-sharing capabilities into coherent and novel health
information systems. By choosing to focus on information/knowledge
use/sharing - thus mobilizing of health information - rather then just
the technological solutions or the organizational/managerial issues only
this workshop will serve as a arena of discussion for socio-technical
enhancements of health information systems that are better capable of
supporting the critical knowledge work functions in healthcare.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- - Wearable computing
- - Sensors
- - Information extraction (crawlers; expert data mining)
- - Mobile and ubiquitous computing in health
- - Hospital/clinical information systems
- - Information sharing
- - Knowledge creation and diffusion with IT
- - Social aspects of health IT
- - Remote working
- - Computer-mediated working from home
- - Networks studies (social and technical)
- - Computer-support collaborative working
- - Virtual work
- - Virtuality
- - Virtual teams
- - Conceptual contributions in the above topics
