Technical professional organisation IEEE has announced a joint effort between IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA), IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (IEEE-EMBS) and the Intelligent Health Association (IHA). These organisations are working cooperatively to advance development and promotion of interoperable, standards-based solutions, and to introduce new educational programs within the global healthcare ecosystem. The shared initiative is helping to further IEEE's goal of fostering innovation in eHealth environments.
Under the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the organisations are collaborating on a variety of educational and other related activities. Among these collective endeavours are a series of sessions presented during IHA's 2015 "How Disruptive Technologies are Enabling the Healthcare Revolution" Workshops held on April 12 at Chicago's Roosevelt University, prior to the 2015 HIMSS Annual Conference where IEEE is exhibiting (Booth # 6956, North Hall). This series of intensive workshops focused on the Internet of Things (IoT), wearables, and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies in the health community.
