WHAT IS IEEE?
The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) is an international technical-professional organisation that was
created in 1884 in the USA and is dedicated to advancing the theory and practice of engineering in the fields of electricity,
electronics and computing. It is a non-profit organization that works towards increasing prosperity on a worldwide level,
promoting value- producing engineering based on technological development, integration and sharing of applied knowledge for
the benefit of humanity and professions.
The IEEE will be essential to the global technical community and to technical professionals everywhere, and will be universally
recognized for the contributions of technology and of technical professionals in improving global conditions.
WHAT IS IEEE HEALTHCOM 2013?
IEEE HEALTHCOM 2013 (e-Health Networking Applications and Services) is fully sponsored by the IEEE Communications
Society. It aims at bringing together interested parties working in the health care field from around the world to exchange ideas,
to discuss innovative and emerging solutions, and to develop collaborations. E-Health is defined as the cost-effective and
secure use of information and communications technologies in support of health and the related fields, including health care
related services, surveillance, literature, education, knowledge, and research, both at the local site and at a distance. It will
make personalized medicine possible and affordable in the near future. The adoption of e-Health technologies in medical fields
creates huge opportunities yet lots of challenges still need to be accomplished to build reliable, secure, and efficient networks
or platforms with great flexibility.
