Symposium on Bio-signal Processing and Networked Sensors in Healthcare

Introduction

The symposium on “Bio-signal Processing and Networked Sensors in Healthcare” will be held in conjunction with the 3rd International Conference on Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information Processing - 2007 (ISSNIP 2007), Melbourne, Australia during December 3-6, 2007. The symposium will focus specifically on intelligent sensors, signal processing and smart systems for healthcare applications from biomedical diagnostic to online patient monitoring. The symposium is running under the umbrella of the ARC Research Network on Sensor Networks (www.sensornetworks.net.au).

The convergence of biomedical sensors, sensor networks and information processing creates exciting opportunities for solving a variety of complex problems in healthcare. The aim of this symposium is to report research and recent developments in applications of scientific principles and technologies to biomedical engineering and healthcare. The program committee is soliciting papers for the following (but not limited) areas:

• Bio-inspired models.
• Biomechanics and biometrics for health applications.
• Bio-signals, signal processing and nonlinear analysis.
• Biosensors, sensor design, sensor fusion for improved diagnosis.
• Computational intelligence (neural networks, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, support vector machines and hybrid systems) for biomedical applications.
• Gait and movement analysis.
• Medical imaging and diagnosis.
• Patient tracking and monitoring.

Areas of application (not limited to):

• Disease diagnosis (cardiovascular, neuromuscular, cerebral, gait, sleep apnea).
• Ageing healthcare (falls prevention in the elderly, stroke, parkinsons and other pathologies).
• Healthcare monitoring systems.
• Human computer interface.
• Rehabilitation.
