FHIES 2013
Date: Aug 21, 2013 8:00 am – Aug 23, 2013 5:00 pm
The Third International Symposium on Foundations of Health Information Engineering and Systems (FHIES 2013) will take place at UNU-IIST in Macau, on 21st to 23rd August 2013
The purpose of the symposium series on Foundations of Health Information Engineering and Systems (FHIES) is to promote a nascent research area that aims to develop and apply theories and methods from a variety of disciplines, including those listed above, for the purpose of modeling, building and certifying software-intensive ICT systems in healthcare. A particular objective of FHIES is to explicitly include a focus on healthcare ICT applications in the developing world (in addition to systems used in the developed countries), since unique engineering challenges arise in that special setting. Because humans often play a pivotal role in the process of using such systems, theories from the human factors engineering community may need to be integrated with methods from the technology-oriented domains in order to create effective engineering methodologies for socio-technical systems in the healthcare domain.
