ESCTAIC aims at streamlining the patient treatment processes in ER, OR and ICU through innovative technological and computing solutions. This year's motto is "From Vision to Product", i.e. not only innovative ideas, but also the steps that are required to bring them into use. A special focus will be on:

• Medical devices, Standards and Regulations
• Decision & Process Support
• Telemonitoring & Teletherapy
• Physiological Models and Decision Theory
• Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics
• Simulation & e-Learning
• Learning the learner or teaching the teacher
