Secure ehealth conference — call for papers

Call for papers including specific recommendations

Deadline: 1 November 2004 (Author's name(s), title, 15 lines of abstract)

Theme: Secure eHealth
Managing risks to patient's health data

Subtopics:

1. Telecommunication and wireless technologies
2. Ethics and laws for eHealth and telemedicine
3. Long term data preservation and intellegibility
4. Security of community wide health care records

This Working Conference will be held in Dijon in the superb former castle of the Dukes of Burgundy in France. The number of attendees will be restricted to 90.

The objective of the Conference is to prepare recommendations in each of the topics selected. The emphasis will therefore not be on presentation of papers that will be made available electronically before the Conference but on discussion of practical guidelines to be derived from each presentation with respect to our changing world.

There will be three categories of speakers:
* Keynote speakers
* Invited papers (by topic)
* Submitted papers (by PhD or MS students, and by industrial partners)

A "Student Award" (including reimbursement of all justifiable expenses: APEX ticket, registration, accommodation) will be granted to the author of the best paper submitted by a student.

All students will have to provide proof of their status by showing their registration in a University. A letter of recommendation from their mentor/supervisor would be useful.

The general structure of the Conference will be:

Thursday 27 April, 2006
Opening session
Invited speaker(s)
Welcome party
