The International Council on Medical and Care Compunetics (ICMCC) was founded in 2004 to create the infrastructure necessary for business-to- business and business-to-customer applications of information and communication technology in the medical and care domains. This text features a collection of papers delivered at ICMCC symposia in 2005. Following an overview of the ICMCC and the social implications of ICT in medicine and health, 36 contributions are organized into sections on HIV and ICT, virtual hospitals, e-health, EC e-health projects, imaging, telehomecare, information/knowledge management, and patient empowerment. A sampling of topics: a home integral telecaresystem for HIV/AIDS patients, incorporating the sense of smell into haptic surgical simulators, development of an expert system for classification of medical errors, context aware tele-monitoring and tele-treatment services, a software system for clinical monitoring, and autism knowledge sharing. No subject index. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The International Council on Medical and Care Compunetics (ICMCC) wants to emphasize the computing and networking synergies in medicine and (health)care. The term compunetics was introduced to present the union of computing and (social) networking. ICMCC wants to bring together as many aspects of medical and care compunetics as possible by forming a Global Knowledge Center. The availability of information works on both the BTB and the BTC level, as the structure will aim at both the consumers and the professionals (caregivers). Patients / consumers will be able to obtain information related to their illness or handicaps, so that they will be more knowledgeable about possible treatments and treatment alternatives. Professionals will be able to find relevant information (medical, technical, scientific) in a fast and efficient way. Industry (and more specifically SME’s) will have access to technical information from a central portal. The shifting paradigm of health from reparative to preventive will enhance the necessity of consumer related information that, when efficiently obtained, can be of great economical benefit. In a world where the need for care is growing rapidly and where it is impossible to expect a growth in the number of caregivers, information is becoming more and more crucial. Not only because an informed patient is an economic benefit, but also because awareness amongst professionals about developments in their own and related fields can save enormous amounts of money. ICMCC will build a global network of professionals in medicine and care. Clinicians, pharmacologists, managers, care practitioners, patients, policy makers, IT specialists will all be represented.
