Healthcare & ICTs - Background
Quality of public health and availability of healthcare amenities are considered as one of the prime yardstick of measuring levels of development and social well being of communities across the world.
Advent of information communication technologies (ICTs) are increasingly opening up newer avenues for efficient management and delivery of healthcare services for people. Spanning from basic health diagnostic to electronic medical records archiving; complex analysis or forecasting of health hazards or even performing critical surgical procedures - technology is leveraging healthcare at all fronts. More than anything else, technology is ready to make health services ‘ubiquitous’ and ‘on time’.
Burgeoning population pressure, inadequate number of medical doctors and paramedical health workers, concentration of healthcare facilities in urban centres, unorganized private health service delivery initiatives and paucity of government financial resources are prime challenges in improving public health status in India vis-à-vis the developing world.
eHealth India 2007 will address all such issues and even beyond – by engaging top notch policy makers, public health specialists, technology barons, industry experts, development investors and the civil society through power packed conferencing, workshops and a vibrant exhibition.
Event Objective
eHealth India 2007 will be a deft attempt to bring forth challenges in development of health policies and technologies, explore service needs and remedies, investigate markets and business opportunities and deliberate complex issues pertaining wide-scale IT deployment in healthcare industry.
The event will also focus on analysing situations in India and the developing world with reference to developed nations, by way of engaging people, practitioners and stakeholders across the region to explore opportunities of policy interventions, research agenda, technology solutions and emerging market potential.
