eHealth 2009: 2nd International Conference on electronic healthcare
Patients or Users - who are we developing services for?
http://www.electronic-health.org/
23-25th September 2009 - Istanbul, Turkey

CONFERENCE AIMS
Building on a very successful eHealth 2008 conference, the aim of
eHealth 2009 is to bring
together experts from academia, industry and global healthcare
institutions to stimulate cutting-
edge research discussions, share experience with real-world healthcare
service providers and
policy makers as well as provide numerous business opportunities.

Despite substantial budgets spent on eHealth in recent years, existing
healthcare services do not
sufficiently address the issue of patient privacy, trust,
quality-assurance nor the potential in
e-learning and web minding for delivering 21st century healthcare system
for European citizens.
The key topic of eHealth 2009 is investigating a realistic potential of
the Internet in providing
evidence-based medical advice and quality-assured education for patients
to improve wellbeing
of European and global citizens.
