The 7th International Conference on Appropriate Healthcare Technologies for Developing Countries (AHT) 2012
Call for Papers deadline: 28 March 201218-19 September 2012. Dexter House, London, UK
Dear Mr Lamb
Don't miss this opportunity to take part in the 7th International Conference on Appropriate Healthcare Technologies for Developing Countries (AHT) 2012.
Submit your paper online at www.theiet.org/aht2012 by 28 March 2012
The vast majority of medics practicing in less developed countries are reliant on imported medical technology. But about 75% of complex and expensive medical devices stand idle at their destinations due to lack of capacity, infrastructure, trained personnel or distribution channels. Medical devices and technology need to be developed to be both affordable and meet the needs of local people. A focus on reverse innovation is fundamental to achieving fit for purpose products.
This international event brings together healthcare technologists, clinicians, researchers and public bodies from around the world to explore effective engineering solutions to meet the healthcare problems of developing countries.
Benefits of submitting
- successful authors will have the opportunity to present their paper at the conference in front of a key audience of international healthcare professionals from both industry and academia
- all selected papers will be published in the conference proceedings
- papers will also be indexed on IET Inspec and IEEE Xplore, giving your work visibility after the conference among the wider engineering community
- the opportunity to share your ideas and receive feedback
- with the permission of the author, film the presentation for publication on IET.tv
Technical scope
The scope of the event includes, but is not limited to, topics in the following areas:
- Innovative technologies for patient and laboratory equipment
