10-12 November 2010, Fremantle, Perth, Western Australia.
Australia will host Global Telehealth 2010, the 15th Annual Scientific Meeting of the International Society for Telemedicine and eHealth (ISfTeH). This meeting has become well established as the major international telehealth conference and will come to Australia for the first time in 2010.
Concurrently, the meeting will also be the first annual scientific meeting of the Australasian Telehealth Society, which was founded in 2008.
The conference, to be held in Perth's unique waterfront community of Fremantle, is expected to attract delegates and speakers from many of the 30 national societies comprising ISfTeH, as well as a large delegation from Australia and New Zealand. Members of telehealth organisations from Asia-Pacific nations should find this meeting particularly attractive. The interdisciplinary nature of the telehealth community attending will ensure wide cross-section of viewpoints. Prominent international speakers will be invited to address the meeting, and papers submitted will be peer-reviewed to maintain the highest standard, with expected publication in a major international journal. The meeting will feature the largest commercial exhibition of telehealth products ever held in Australasia.
Contributions are sought addressing current research and practice in Telehealth, including:
- Clinical applications of telemedicine
- Teleconsultation and telecollaboration
- Teleprocedures and robotic surgical methods
- Telecare and remote patient monitoring
- Tele-education and training
- Evaluation and benefits of telehealth
- Web services for telehealth
- Mobile telehealth and wireless
- Telehealth software and systems
- Telehealth technologies and methodologies
- Telehealth for remote areas
- Telehealth in emerging countries
- Telehealth policy and governance
- International trends and perspectives for telehealth
