Message from Nethealth workshop chairs

Abstract

Welcome to the 4th Workshop on Networked Healthcare Technology (NetHealth′14). There is a clear consensus that our current healthcare models are not well suited for our future generations, in that they cannot be scaled up in a cost-effective manner for the growing healthcare needs. To promote a rich dialogue between different constituents of healthcare, NetHealth 2014 will adopt a new workshop model of conversation between leaders from both medical and engineering communities. The aim of the one-day workshop is to promote a deeper dialogue leading to actual collaborations.
