SCOPE

Medical communication is a fast-growing interdisciplinary field of study that underlines the use of computer and communication technology to help assisting healthcare professionals in the process of diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, medication prescription, referral, information retrieval and communication, documentation and transactions. The rapid evolution of medical communication and the arise of a plethora of underlying technology challenges make it vital for researchers to stay abreast of current advances and emerging trends. Throughout the last years, healthcare-related components and devices have been constantly cited in the MIT technology review (http://www.technologyreview.com/tr10/) among the Top 10 Emerging Technologies. With respect to intrinsic characteristics of such devices in terms of processing, memory, storage, and energy capabilities, new protocols, standards, and models are needed to implement efficient communication platforms allowing accurate and real-time transmission of the collected medical data.
