The HealthInf 2009 constitutes an event that aims to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the application of information and communication technologies (ICT) to healthcare and medicine, in general, and to specialised support to persons with special needs in particular.

Databases, networking, graphical interfaces, intelligent decision support systems and specialised programming languages are just a few of the technologies currently used in medical informatics.

Mobility and ubiquity in healthcare systems, standardisation of technologies and procedures, certification, privacy are some of the issues that medical informatics professionals and the ICT industry in general need to address in order to further promote ICT in healthcare.
