3rd IEEE International Workshop on eHealth Systems and IoT Technologies (eHealth-IoT 2026)

Goal of the workshop

This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to explore one of the most significant and evolving topics in recent years: the use of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in healthcare. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated innovation in this field, driving the development of new technologies and solutions. By creating a platform for open discussion and collaboration, the workshop encourages participants to share ideas, present innovative proposals, and build partnerships that can shape the future of eHealth systems and IoT applications.

Workshop theme

In recent years, the integration of digital technologies into healthcare has attracted increasing interest from the research community. Among these, Internet of Things (IoT) technologies have gained significant attention for their ability to enable real-time and remote monitoring of patients’ health.

Global initiatives toward a sustainable economy, coupled with the demands highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic, have accelerated this trend. Notably, solutions like home healthcare have emerged, allowing governments to preserve hospital resources for the most critically ill patients. These advancements have created new opportunities for researchers to explore innovative approaches, such as monitoring healthy individuals to prevent future illnesses or reducing hospitalizations for low-risk conditions.

This workshop will spotlight cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research and commercial advancements in the field of healthcare and the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). We will explore emerging technologies and challenges, aiming to promote sustainable solutions such as secure and innovative architectures, intelligent systems for chronic disease management, home care applications, AI-based frameworks, edge computing and intelligence techniques, and applications of Distributed Ledger Technologies. By examining these developments, the workshop seeks to highlight the latest trends and opportunities that are shaping this transformative field.
