Mission
e-Health is one of the major research topics that have been attracting cross-disciplinary research groups. The deployment of new emerging ICT technologies for Health, especially based on Cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), and Computational Intelligence, is attracting the interest of many researchers.
The use of Cloud computing, IoT technologies, and methods typical of Soft Computing and Computational Intelligence have been very prominent recently and can be of great help in finding good solutions to many practical healthcare applications.
For instance, health monitoring, health data storage, health data collection, mobile health, pervasive health, healthcare monitoring, telemedicine, context-aware computing, ubiquitous computing, processing health data in the cloud, securing health data in the cloud and Assistive Technology (AT) are areas of interest that are being addressed using cloud computing and IoT techniques. On the other hand, several challenging issues have raised due to the adoption of such emerging technologies. These include the quality of health data, the ability to retrieve information and use it in health context, as for example in tasks related to machine learning, knowledge discovery, decision support, regression, forecasting, optimization, feature selection, and additionally privacy and security issues of health data while being processed in the cloud, availability of health data, models of context and tele-monitoring of contextual applications.

Call for Special Session Proposals
The Steering Committee of IEEE ICTS4eHealth 2025 invites and welcomes you to submit proposals for exciting Special Sessions which should mandatorily include paper submission on topics relevant to the conference areas.
The Special Session intends to address current and future research and application topics, through experts in the field and may include, other than the paper presentation, discussions, and interactions among participants.
If you intend to propose and organize a special session, please submit a proposal by sending an email to
Title of the Special Session A brief description of the area of concern (approx. 100 words), with special focus on why this is considered to be an interesting and significant topic. The name and contact information of two or more Special Sessions chairs, who are willing to promote and organize a sufficient amount of quality submissions to the Special Sessions. Please also indicate the short bio of the organizers.
Once approved, it is the duty of the organizers to publicize the Special Session among researchers and practitioners in the field and attract a sufficient number of papers. Papers submitted to Special Session will undergo the same review process as regular papers. The Special Session organizers are responsible for managing the review process, assuring at least three reviews per paper. This includes the creation of a Special Session Technical Program Committee.
Before starting the review process, Special Session organizers must explicitly declare papers which present a conflict of interest for them. Any conflict of interest will be managed by the ICTS4eHealth organizers.
A minimum of 8 submitted papers, with an acceptance rate of 50% maximum, is required for each session.
- Submission deadline for Special Session Proposals:

Bologna, Italy
Capital of the Metropolitan city and of the Emilia-Romagna region, Bologna is located between the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines and the heart of the Po Valley. Due to its position between North and South, East and West, the Adriatic coast as well as cities such as Venice, Florence, Milan, and Rome can easily be reached from Bologna.
City of art, culture, and commerce, with a streamlined trade-fair organization and a well-known manufacturing and motor tradition, Bologna is famous for its almost 40 km of arcades, the longest in the world.
Also called “The Learned” for its old University, and “The Fat” for its food tradition, the city is also a “UNESCO creative City of Music” and has one of the largest and most well-preserved medieval historical centers, full of restaurants, taverns, theaters, and shops.
