We also encourage surveys of available technologies, and reporting on user experiences. Example topics include:
- Sensors and mobile devices for continuous patient monitoring
- Actuators and prompters for rehabilitation and behavior modification
- Mobile and wearable technologies for next generation drug trials
- Intelligent prosthetics
- Medical data-mining from health records
- Privacy architectures for medical records
- Applications for first responders including paramedics and emergency rooms
- Hospital work-flow management
- Intelligent implantable devices for applications in hearing, pain management, etc.
- Devices to monitor dietary intake and/or caloric expenditure
- Technologies for collaborative and/or competitive exercise support groups
- Issues in healthcare technology standards, interoperability, security, usability, cost, etc
Submissions should be 4,000 to 6,000 words long and should follow the magazine's guidelines on style and presentation. All submissions will be peer-reviewed in accordance with normal practice for scientific publications. Submissions should be received by 5 September 2006 to receive full consideration.
In addition to full-length submissions, we also invite work-in-progress submissions of 250 words or less (submit to mmraz@computer.org) These will not be peer-reviewed but will be reviewed by the Department Editor, Anthony Joseph, and, if accepted, edited by the staff into a feature for the issue.
