The third edition of MobiHealth proposes to continue and extend the focus areas of the first two editions. The essence of the conference lies in its interdisciplinary nature, with original contributions cutting across boundaries but all within the ambit of the application of mobile communications (technologies, standards, solutions, methodologies, …) to the improvement of human health. As such, the conference will have a multi-tier approach: going from in-body sensor devices to ubiquitous patient monitoring environments.

The main themes will include (but are not limited to):

Advances in sensor devices for biomedical monitoring  
Intra-body communication issues (propagation & transmission)  
Body Area networks (architectures, protocols, scheduling, …);  
Heterogenous and in-/on-/out- networks;  
Wearable, outdoor and home-based applications;  
Data collection and management at hubs, mobile devices and gateways;  
Energy management and optimisation issues in biomedical devices and networks;  
Decision support algorithms for data analysis;  
Healthcare telemetry and telemedicine;  
Remote diagnosis and patient management;  
Accuracy, reliability, security, protection, identity, privacy, of diagnoses  and data;  
All-pervasive wireless systems for health applications;  
Factoring in the environment (hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living,…).
