Healthcare & Life Sciences Industry Connections Activities

Openly Collaborate and Incubate Solutions to Drive Trusted Adoption of New Tech Applications

The IEEE Industry Connections (IC) program helps incubate new standards by facilitating collaboration among interested stakeholders as they hone and refine their thinking on rapidly changing technologies. Check out the available Healthcare & Life Sciences related activities.

Interdisciplinary Approach to Mental Health Improvement

The goal of this activity is to enhance mental health through interdisciplinary integration by gaining insight into the potential causes of mental health problems, building consensus, and improving mental health.

AI for Improved Public Health and Climate-Resilient Health Systems

Demonstrates GenAI’s role in advancing healthcare by fostering community engagement and digital autonomy.

Technology Standards for the Aging (AgeTech)

Develop proposals for IEEE standards to address aspects such as terminology, usability, metrics, and more for AgeTech products and services.

Zero Trust Cybersecurity for Health Technology Tools, Services, and Devices

The goal of this activity is to build conventional, general-purpose zero trust micro segmented IT infrastructure and guidelines in healthcare, that are aligned with IEEE standards.

Enabling a Smart and Equitable Agriculture Ecosystem with Accessible Tech and Data Tools

Assess data challenges and opportunities that involve data collection in producer planning and operations. The desired outcomes include the understanding of producer and supply chain data management needs to support better data sharing and integration across the lifecycle of production.

Ethical Assurance of Data-Driven Technologies for Mental Healthcare

Exploring how ethical assurance—supported by ethically sound and rigorous standards—can promote trust in the use of digital technologies for mental healthcare and support transparent communication between stakeholders.

New Frontiers in the Continuum of Care for Connected Health

Working to develop solutions that increase access to telehealth for underserved and unconnected populations while protecting patient privacy and security.

Clinical Trial Technology Modernization Network (CTTMN)

Looking at the use of open technologies, patient data ethics and governance, KPIs on optimization of time and cost for recruitment and auditing trials of patients, and other issues to harmonize uses of technologies (AI, Blockchain/DLT, IoT/sensors, and VR/AR, etc.) to conduct remote patient trials.

Neurotechnologies for Brain-Machine Interfacing

Reviewing Brain-Machine Interfacing (BMI)/Brain Computer Interface (BCI) standards and deployments. Identifying gaps in existing standards and creating a plan to address the gaps.
