Workshop: Web-based Applications in Health Care & Biomedicine

Workshop Call for papers:

Web-based applications provide the power of desktop and server applications with the flexibility and accessibility of the web. Using web browsers, users can securely access applications from anywhere within the reach of the company intranet or extranet. The workshop intends to explore research, design and evaluation of web-based information systems and database applications in health care area. Studies from leading researchers and practitioners focusing on the current challenges, directions, trends and opportunities associated with health care organizations and their strategic use of Web-enabled technologies will be presented. Managing health care information systems with web-enabled technologies is an excellent vehicle for understanding current and potential uses of Internet technology in the broad areas of health care and (bio)medical applications.
