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.
Following five successful workshop editions, two years ago ICTS4eHealth became an International IEEE Conference, and we are now proud to announce the third edition of this popular conference dedicated to ICT solutions for e-Health, especially based on Cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), and Computational Intelligence.

Talk: Artificial Intelligence for Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus is a group of heterogeneous, civilization diseases. It is 8th common cause of death. It manifests with elevated blood glucose, which continuously damages various organs and contribute to a development of additional diseases. To treat an advanced form of the disease, we need to manage blood glucose level with insulin. As the management is actually a hard problem, artificial intelligence can explore many decisions to find the most effective ones, which is unfeasible for a patient without a smart device. Actually, there are three areas, in which the artificial intelligence can help – glucose level predictor, artificial pancreas construction and metabolic simulator. Using selected studies, we will present state-of-the-art, artificial-intelligence approaches to each of these three topics to demonstrate how to deal with the design, implementation and verification.

SS-TAAIMHA: Technological Advancements in Artificial Intelligence for Medical and Healthcare Applications
The healthcare service system is essential in the medical field, which has enormous demands on human existence. In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has seen rapid development and is being used extensively in the domains of computer science and engineering. As a result of recent developments in machine learning and deep learning, artificial intelligence has become a hot topic across all academic disciplines. The purpose of this special session is to provide a forum in which researchers and practitioners that employ unsupervised or supervised learning based on AI models for any clinical tasks can present and discuss their latest work and exchange ideas for improving the use of AI in healthcare.
