The conference provides an opportunity to medicine teachers and students to meet medical informatics professionals, as well as experts involved in the multimedia support of education. Apart from general topics, such as e-learning, telemedicine and modern ICT, the 6th year of the conference is focused particularly on mLearning and mHealth into medical education.
