As such, the conference will have a multi-tier approach: going from implant sensors to ubiquitous patient monitoring environments and technologies from in-hospital to in-home.

• The event is endorsed by the European Alliance for Innovation, a leading community-based organisation devoted to the advancement of innovation in the field of ICT.
• All accepted papers will be published by ACM and made available through ACM Digital Library, one of the world’s largest scientific libraries.
• ACM SIGBio is technically co-sponsoring Mobihealth 2015. The proceedings will appear in the ACM DL.
• Proceedings are submitted for inclusion to the leading indexing services: DBLP, Google Scholar, Thomson Scientific ISI Proceedings, EI Elsevier Engineering Index, CrossRef, Scopus, as well as ICST’s own EU Digital Library (EUDL).
• Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr. med. Steffen Leonhardt with the talk “The car as a location for medical diagnosis”
