The January 2011 Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine includes selected papers from Information Technology in Biomedicine (ITAB 2009), held in the month of October in Cyprus. The overall objective of ITAB 2009 was to cover the state of the art in Information Technology Applications in Biomedicine, under the theme 'Citizen centered e-health systems in a global healthcare environment'. The Issue contains paper by Karagiannis and colleagues that investigates the performance of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) on ECGs. The paper by Stylianides introduces a novel, open source middleware framework for communication with medical devices and an application using the middleware named intensive care window (ICW). Cunningham and colleagues propose a home-based tool designed to monitor and assess peripheral motor symptoms. Loizou and colleagues introduce the use of multiscale AM FM texture analysis of multiple sclerosis (MS) using MR images from the brain. 15 1 3 10 Cited By :1
