The 20th IEEE Healthcom 2018 conference will be held in Ostrava, nowadays one of the fastest growing city for the deployment of IT technologies and smart solutions in central Europe. In respect to our recent history, when Ostrava was called the “iron heart” of our country because of the mining and steel-making plants, we would like to introduce the traditional way of life in our region to you together with the renaissance of our city, now mixing in symbiosis the history with modernity. Our region is famous not only for its beautiful nature, many unique historical places hidden to mass tourism, hospitality and industrial history but also for several famous personalities born close to Ostrava city like Sigmund Freud, Vilem Wunche, Joy Adams and Leos Janacek.
During the conference we would like to focus on several topics connected with E-health networking, applications and systems in biomedical engineering. The 2018 edition of Healthcom conference will also focus on e-Health in smart regions from all possible perspectives, because Ostrava agglomeration will soon become the first smart region in central Europe.

The 2018 conference puts emphasis not only on the quality organization and the benefit of the scientists and experts’ communications and meetings, but also on the cooperation with industrial partners. We will balance the professional side of the conference with unconventional and full-fledged culture and leisure activities.
We hope you will enjoy the 20th IEEE Healthcom 2018 conference, which we organize as a professional meeting which gives every participant the feeling of belonging to an outstanding scientific community but a friendly group as well.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Ostrava.
