Evaluating Telehealth Startup Initiatives
Chair: Bart Collet, HealthStartup Europe, Belgium
Hosted by HealthStartup Europe
The health sectors are ripe for technology-driven change. The internet and
related technology trends are enabling new business models and services,
they are empowering consumers-patients to take a far more proactive role in
taking care of their own health, and they are improving the way healthcare is
practiced and organized. HealthStartup Europe thinks there is tremendous
potential currently to create exciting new health services and to radically
improve the quality, efficiency and accessibility of healthcare. That's why
HealthStartup Europe is supporting digital health startups in Europe.
HealthStartup Europe aims to create a more hospitable environment for
health startups by creating connections between the burgeoning digital
startups scene and the health sectors. At Med-e-Tel, HealthStartup Europe
will put one startup initiative in the spotlight and discuss and evaluate its
potential with entrepreneurs, health care professionals, policy makers and
investors.
The session will provide useful insights to guide investors and entrepreneurs
in their future investment and development decisions in the digital health
sector.

Management of Chronic Diseases - Development of New and Innovative
Assisting Technologies (1)
Hosted by UNIK
Management of chronic diseases is one of the greatest challenges to the
healthcare sector in Denmark as well as in the rest of the world. Join the
Danish Partnership UNIK in a workshop focusing on development of new
technologies for the benefit of persons with a chronic disease as well as for
the public healthcare sector.
How can new technology make disease management easier for both patients
and the healthcare sector? Examples of new technologies on prototype level
for people with COPD will be presented along with a presentation of methods
to secure end user involvement in the developing process. What are the
effects for both patients and healthcare care professionals when digital
personal health is introduced?
The workshop will also focus on challenges in current and future ICT
infrastructures for healthcare services and how to accelerate the deployment
of telemedical solutions. How can we ensure interoperability and still support
SMEs in developing innovative solutions?

University, UK
Presented by TeleSCoPE

The primary objective of TeleSCoPE (Telehealth Services Code of Practice for
Europe) is to develop a comprehensive Code of Practice for Telehealth
Services (i.e. relating to that aspect of telemedicine and telecare delivered in
the home and mediated through ICT).
TeleSCoPE will, through establishing service standards, help establish
relationships of trust between users, patients and providers and contribute to
overall health and well-being. The standards will provide a quality benchmark
for service regulation in member states. Other standards, including technical
(interoperability) and information (privacy, etc.), will be referenced.
The strategic relevance of TeleSCoPE relates to the fit with EU initiatives that
promote healthy lifestyles, healthy workforce, healthy life-years and healthy
ageing, social inclusion and engagement, economic and social development,
ICT application and the coordination of policies and programmes within
member states.
More details of this TeleSCoPE consultation meeting at Med-e-Tel will be
confirmed closer to the event. Join us for a stimulating debate that will help
shape the envisioned Code of Practice and promote telehealth adoption in
Europe in general.

Session régionale de formation:
Retour sur Investissement Réel des Investissements en eHealth
(Note: This regional session is held exclusively in French. All other Med-e-Tel
conference sessions are in English.)
Presenté en collaboration avec Accenture
La session débutera par une formation méthodologique assurée par François
Daue (Directeur Solstisse - Solutions and Strategies for Healthcare) et deux
business cases présentés par Accenture. Ensuite, pour assurer un réel
partage d'expériences, des représentants d'hôpitaux et structures de santé,
de l'industrie, et des autorités publiques et mutualités prendront la parole
pour partager les besoins, les défis, et les réalisations sur le terrain.
La formation donnera des réponses pratiques aux questions suivantes:
o Comment calculer le retour sur investissement réel des
investissements en informatique santé? Toutes les étapes à suivre,
les types de gains et les indicateurs possibles.
o Quels bénéfices puis-je vraiment espérer?
o Quelles sont les solutions qui marchent et celles à oublier?
o Quelles leçons puis-je tirer de l'expérience de mes confrères au cours
des dix dernières années?
o Comment dois-je adapter ma stratégie en tant que cadre hospitalier,
industriel, autorité publique ou professionnel de santé pour
maximiser les bénéfices?

International Workshop on Biomedical Informatics (BmI’12)
Chair: Abdel-Badeeh M. Salem, Professor of Computer Science, Head of Biomedical
Informatics & Knowledge Engineering Research Unit, Faculty of Computer and
Information sciences, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt
The main objective of the International Workshop on Biomedical Informatics
(BmI'12) is to highlight, promote and disseminate new methodologies and
technologies in the field of biomedical informatics. The Workshop aims to
assemble the professionals related to the field of biomedical engineering,

computer science, IT, bioinformatics, biotechnology, electronics,
communication, biological, medical, pharmaceutical and healthcare into a
single arena. "Telemedicine and eHealth" are the main themes of the
workshop.
The BmI'12 will provide an excellent opportunity for sharing experiences,
knowledge and ideas amongst researchers, physicians and informatics
scientists from academia and practitioners.
It is devoted to discussion of current research of the methodologies,
techniques and technologies of artificial intelligence in medicine and
healthcare. In addition, the convergence of artificial intelligence and web
technologies is enabling the creation and implementation of a new generation
of the intelligent medical knowledge-based technology. Such technology will
provide a unique opportunity to distribute learning/education /training across
multiple sites while dramatically reducing travel related costs. Moreover,
these new technologies are opening up huge possibilities for disabled people
to gain better access to education and training.
Organized by the Biomedical Informatics & Knowledge Engineering Research
Unit, Faculty of Computer and Information sciences, Ain Shams University,
Cairo, Egypt, the International Workshop on Biomedical Informatics will
combine stimulating research, presentations and practical examples with
informal networking. The workshop will provide an excellent opportunity to
know about the latest advances, applications and future trends connected to
biomedical informatics and its application in Telemedicine/eHealth.
