We chose New Technologies and Mobility in Health Care as the main theme
of the congress which is going to be held this year. The discipline of Health
Informatics which has been experiencing developmental pains; is also going
through a revolution as a result of the improvements in mobile technologies,
the decrease in the size of devices, the decline in prices, the widespread
use of mobile phones, and the development of integrated devices which can function
as mobile phones. We aim to focus the attention of Medical Informatics community
towards these developments and to create a knowledge sharing and collaboration
environment.
The congress covers the use wireless technologies, Tablet PCs, PDAs, mobile
phones in healthcare, communication with physicians outside hospital, and with
ambulances, remote monitoring and wearable technologies for;

a high quality, effective and efficient service
In addition, current developments in health information systems, electronic
health records, tele-medicine, health information standards, management of
