Introduction
There has been a dramatic increase in the utilization of wireless technologies in healthcare systems as a consequence of the wireless ubiquitous and pervasive communications revolution. The emerging information and wireless communication technologies in Health and Healthcare lead to eHealth systems, also known as E-healthcare, which have been drawing increasing attention in the public and have gained strong support from government agencies and various organizations. The advances in wearable computing, bioengineering, wireless sensors networks, mobile devices and wireless communications have paved the way to new definitions of eHealth systems, moving from original telemedicine systems to the integration of existent specialized medical technologies with pervasive technologies. In order to make future eHealth systems a reality, a strong cooperation among several diverse research areas in engineering is vital. These areas include research in
bioengineering, Body Area Networks (BANs), wearable sensors, microprocessors, wireless communications, wired communications, data mining, data processing, security, and many other diverse areas. The design of eHealth systems comes with a set of newly emerged challenges due to requirements for accuracy, security and privacy of electronic health information, strict regulatory compliance, low network latency, low packet loss, high availability, small device size with power constraints, and multi-hop short-distance communications.
Objective of the Book
Providing a book about the research challenges associated with the successful and realistic implementation of future E-Healthcare is both timely and looked-for. The objective of this book is to explore the developments and current/future challenges in the successful deployment of future E-Healthcare Systems. The book will combine the research efforts in different disciplines from pervasive wireless communications, wearable computing, context-awareness, sensor data fusion, artificial intelligence, neural networks, expert systems, databases, security and privacy. To the best of our knowledge, there has not been a book in the field of E-healthcare that combines all the up to date research challenges associated with the successful implementation of such systems.
Target Audience
The primary target audiences of this book are those who are interested in E-healthcare systems and related issues including scholars, researchers, developers and postgraduate students. In particular, the book will be a valuable companion and a comprehensive reference for graduate students who are taking a course in bioengineering or pervasive wireless communication systems. To provide greatest reading flexibility, the book will be organized in self-contained chapters. In general, this book is intended to assist researches in academia and industry to tackle the challenges in future E-Healthcare systems including accuracy, reliability, security and privacy. For researchers in the medical industry, this book helps them handle the challenges that await them on the road by implementing a "worth-full" and cost-effective pervasive and ubiquitous wireless communication system. Moreover, this book introduces them to the major innovations achieved by academia
that might be valuable in their endeavors.
Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
Wireless communications in healthcare
Security, privacy and legal issues in e-healthcare
Autonomic Sensor Networks for Healthcare
Middleware for e-health
Wireless Sensor Networks for Healthcare
Energy Efficiency in health monitoring
RFID applications in e healthcare
Artificial intelligence and expert systems
Wireless multimedia platforms
User interface, usability and acceptability
Wearable and Implantable sensors for healthcare
Healthcare applications for clinicians
Cyber physical systems for patient monitoring
Home monitoring and ambient assisted applications

Wireless Body Area Networks
Data fusion and context elaboration
System architecture and networking protocols
Semantic Web in Healthcare
Medical data analysis and management
Standards and frameworks
Modeling and performance evaluation
Submission Procedure
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before June 15, 2010, only a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. A typical proposal will include a 1 page summary of the chapter followed by a short table of contents of the proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by July 1, 2010 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by Sept. 15, 2010. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project.
