EHB 2009 - International Conference on e-Health and Bioengineering

17-18 September 2009, Constanta, Romania
The main objective of this second conference, organized by the "Gr.T. Popa" University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Iaşi, the Romanian Society of Medical Bioengineering and "Ovidius" University of Constanta, is dedicated to the e-health and bioengineering in general. Its goals are to promote concepts and advanced hardware and software technologies in the emerging domains of e-health, telemedicine, medical devices/equipment, medical informatics, biomechanics, biomaterials, biotechnologies and healthcare management.

Another objective is to strengthen the interdisciplinary synergy between medical and technical researchers and practitioners, within the generous framework of medical bioengineering, in order to establish and promote advanced scientific concepts, methods and technologies for medical services and healthcare in Romania and enlarged Europe. In this respect, a special attention will be granted in the next years to targeting research to the real needs of patients, through different national and international projects and partnerships.

EHB 2009 represents as well a new "official" occasion to show that telemedicine in Romania and particularly in Iaşi exceeds the level of other more or less theoretical approaches and demonstrative issues. Its maturity was already proven by real time transmission and analysis of some vital biosignals of patients, performed by using the facilities offered by the first Romanian Telemedical Regional Centre located at the Faculty of Medical Bioengineering of the "Gr.T. Popa" University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Iaşi, which was developed by a local team within two research pilot projects - TELMES and TELEMON - financed by the Romanian Ministry of Education and Research.
