Telemedicine and Mobile Medical Units
(TMMMU 2019)

in conjunction with

IEEE International Conference on E-health Networking, Application & Services (Healthcom2019)
14-16 October 2019 // Bogotá, Colombia

Scope
Regional disparities, the lack of specialists and specialized equipment can be overcome by multidisciplinary mobile medical units that will have the merit of providing citizens living in disadvantaged regions, the necessary equipment and using telemedicine, indispensable specialists.
Among the existing mobile medical units we can mention mainly the screening units, emergency units, radiology trucks and mobile hospitals.
Every day, the mobile unit can set up in a village to cover each week a fairly large geographical area.
These mobile units can solve cheaply and immediately the shortage of equipment and medical specialists by combining mobility with telemedicine.
The workshop aims to raise the authorities' awareness of this kind of solutions and to encourage scientists to make these units more efficient.

This workshop will focus on the major challenges in Telemedicine and Mobile Medical Units. We seek papers addressing the following issues, but are not limited to

Topics
• Participatory design
• Implementation studies
• Assessment of the effectiveness of telemedicine
• Economic evaluation of telemedicine
• Clinical telemedicine practice
