In addition to exciting technical symposia, tutorials and exhibitions, IEEE Healthcom 2019 will feature a series of half and full-day workshops and invites the submission of workshop proposals. The aim of the conference workshops is to emphasize emerging topics not specifically covered in the main symposia. Workshops should highlight current topics related to technical and business issues in health technology, networking and Computing for Health, and should include a mix of regular papers, invited presentations and panels that encourage the participation of attendees in active discussion.
