Dear Colleague,
We thank you very much for your support in one or more of our pHealth conferences as well as related events of the European Federation of Medical Informatics (EFMI). We would like to direct your attention to the coming pHealth 2021 Conference, virtually happening from 8-10 November 2021 at the University of Genoa, Genoa, Italy.
The 2021 edition of pHealth will emphasize the interrelated aspects of pHealth, i.e. personalized, participative, preventive, predictive precision medicine (5P medicine) in health and social services. In that context, mobile technologies, micro-nano-bio smart systems, bio-data management and analytics, artificial intelligence and robotics for personalized health, the Health Internet of Things (HIoT), systems medicine, public health and virtual care. It also addresses new potential risks for security and privacy as well as safety chances and challenges, trustworthiness of partners and processes, the motivation and empowerment of patients in care processes, and health systems challenges in developing countries. The multilateral benefits of pHealth technologies for all stakeholder communities give enormous potential, not only for medical quality improvement and industrial competitiveness, but also for managing health care costs and, last but not least, improving patient experiences. One important topic of the 2021 event will address digital health ecosystems in the context of 5P medicine.
The pHealth 2021 committees strive towards the possibility of including workshops and related pre-conference Summer Schools for graduates and PhD students in the field. The event is hosted by the Department of Informatics, Bioengineering, Robotics and System Engineering (DIBIRS) of the University of Genoa, one of the largest universities in Italy.
