Call for Papers

Scope of Interest：

High-quality hospitals and medical resources are mostly in big cities. Remote areas are lack of these infrastructures and resources. Technology development is to make human life more convenient, but not to distinguish people according to their living places or any other characters. However, up to now, in digital-technology developments such as fifth generation (5G), less attention has been paid to the remote areas. In order to alleviate the difference between big cities and remote areas, some technologies with a purpose of providing people living in remote areas with high-quality health services, are thus of great significance. One of these technologies is the 5G and beyond technology-enabled remote health systems.

The goal of this Workshop in IEEE WCNC is to invite researchers from academia, industry and government to publish their latest efforts, to identify and discuss technical challenges, solutions, legislations and recent advances related to 5G remote health systems. It is designed to attract papers that will address the key challenges of 5G remote health systems. Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers in any of, but not limited to, the following or related topics of interest:
