2017 International Conference on Healthcare Science and Engineering (Healthcare�17) June 1 � 3, 2017, Zhengzhou, China http://healthcare.ha.edu.cn/2017

Call for Papers The traditional healthcare industry is undergoing a major paradigm shift due to the rapid advances, developments, and deployments of wearable, mobile, digital, machine learning, and big data technologies. These technologies have brought tremendous benefits and opportunities to the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of human diseases for a better quality of life, but meanwhile also present unprecedented performance and security challenges in the entire process of data collection, processing, analysis, synthesis, and visualization. The 2017 International Conference on Healthcare Science and Engineering (Healthcare�17) provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners from academia, industry and government in computer science, data analytics, medical informatics, biomedical engineering, and other engineering disciplines involving healthcare, as well as healthcare professionals, to share and exchange their knowledge and progresses of current research issues, technologies, and ideas in healthcare. This forum is focused on recent advances and developments of wearable, mobile, digital, machine learning, and big data technologies in the broad healthcare domain. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: � Big data analytics for healthcare � Machine learning techniques for healthcare � Security, confidentiality, and privacy in eHealth and mHealth � Visualization techniques for healthcare � eHealth virtual communities and collaborative techniques � Social computing and networking in healthcare � Smart and ubiquitous technologies for health and wellbeing � Tracking/wearable and mobile technology � Intelligent decision support systems in healthcare � Systems for disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment and management � Healthcare informatics and information systems � Internet medical services and applications � Telemedicine, telehealth, and telecare � Mobile healthcare applications � Systems and methods for Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) � Healthcare system management, improvement & reform � Infrastructures and facilities for healthcare Accepted papers will be recommended for publication in the special issues of several SCI-indexed journals including Journal of Healthcare Engineering and International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks.
