Coimbra, Portugal
30 March – 1 April 2015
We
would like to welcome you to Coimbra, a beautiful city in
Portugal, and its University recently recognized as World
Heritage by UNESCO.
Scope
and objectives
Recent
advances in medicine allow us to live longer and healthier
lives. These advances have been made possible through the
joint contribution of very different scientific fields.
Healthcare is nowadays better understood as a
multidisciplinary field, with increasing number of challenges
that can be better tackled by joint collaboration of
researchers with different scientific backgrounds.
The
challenges that Healthcare is facing have not only to do with
the ability of providing better services to all (treatments,
preventive medicine, better diagnosis tools), with an
increased focus on improved personalized treatment options,
but also with the need to tackle an increased pressure felt by
Healthcare systems: increased number of patients, some of them
requiring expensive treatments, with a consequent increase in
the workload for health institutions that most of the times
have to deal with important budget restrictions.
The
Conference will provide
a forum in which researchers coming from different scientific
disciplines can discuss and share their experience regarding
methodological approaches to tackle different Healthcare
challenges. Contributions from operational research,
industrial engineering, medicine, medical physics, management,
computational biology, bioinformatics, health economics among
others are welcomed.
