In the recent years, technology has had an accelerating impact on the field of medicine and healthcare. We could observe, in particular, a proliferation of personal health monitoring devices and wearables, such as activity bracelets. These technologies supported by newest developments in data analysis, such as big data and deep learning, have a substantial impact on daily life of many people. They increase awareness of daily activities, help improve sport performance, and can lead to early detection of certain diseases.
The workshop on Biomedical & Health Engineering and Data Analysis - BEDA’2018 - provides an open forum for researchers in domains of Biomedical Engineering, Health Technologies, Personal Monitoring Devices, and Data Analysis to communicate high-quality and timely research results. The primary focus is on practical applications, but highly relevant theoretical papers are also of interest.
