Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the organizing committee, we are pleased to announce that the 2nd International Conference on Information Technology Application in Medicine (CITAM 2018) which will be held at Duy Tan University, Da Nang, Viet Nam during 20th and 21st September 2018.
This conference will bring together practitioners, researchers and educators from around the world who are currently engaged in Medical Informatics. The main theme of the conference covers various issues and initiatives on utilizing Information Technology for medical applications in both theoretical and practical aspects. Presentations and discussions at the conference will be open to collaboration in multi-disciplinary projects, working papers, data surveys as well as development of advanced computerized tools and applications by researchers and practitioners. Therefore, we would highly appreciate all your participation and support to make the conference a success.
Scope and Interests
New Healthcare and Medicine applications, including combinations of VR, AR, AI and IoT technologies, are changing the Health Industry. Development of this field is very important because it can help save lives and improve the patient experience, which in turn has far-reaching effects for economic, psychological, educational and organizational improvements to the way we work, teach, learn and care for ourselves and each other. It is important to monitor and understand these effects from a safety and societal point of view.
The topics of interest for this session include, but are not limited to the following:
- VR/AR/AI/IoT applications and technologies for Healthcare and Medicine training and education,
- Combinations of VR/AR/AI/IoT for Healthcare and Medicine improvements,
- Empirical studies of VR/AR applications in Healthcare and Medicine use-cases,
- Evaluations of the design of VR/AR/AI/IoT application interfaces and best-practice for interface design,
- Psychological studies of the patient experience of VR/AR/AI/IoT applications for health treatments,
- Ergonomic studies of the VR/AR/AI/IoT applications and equipment for long-term use in Healthcare,
