The Automotive Industry in Turmoil—Chiplets to the Rescue?
The automotive industry is at a technological inflection point as increasing system complexity, performance demands, and cost pressures expose the limitations of traditional monolithic SoC‑based ECU architectures. The transition toward centralized, high‑performance, server‑like vehicle computing motivates the adoption of alternative design approaches. This white paper summarizes insights from the IEEE…
Research on Marine Standardization Practices
Intelligent marine equipment, marine data communication, and marine energy are the focus of this report. The global and national progress of marine standardization is reviewed, existing problems and challenges are analyzed, and countermeasures to promote high-quality development of marine standardization are put forward. These fields are highly compatible with IEEE’s…
Establishing Trust Technology Standards for Connected Health Applications and Devices
This white paper examines a layered approach to protecting patient and healthcare‑worker information across clinical, operational, and administrative systems. Many healthcare organizations rely on a combination of certificate‑based security, network‑level filtering technologies, authentication and authorization mechanisms, and device‑level protections to support compliance with applicable privacy and security frameworks. Recent FDA…
Global Data Quality and Governance as the Cornerstone of AI Decision Support in Healthcare
Artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is only as trustworthy as the data it learns from and the context in which that data is used. This white paper explains why global data quality is the foundation for decision support in Healthcare AI applications and outlines the practical steps that health systems,…
Aspects and Challenges of Patient-Controlled Electronic Health Records
As governments increasingly adopt digital health services and digital access becomes ubiquitous through internet and mobile technologies, differing approaches to personal health record (PHR) systems have become more apparent. Across countries and economic regions, successful implementation and widespread adoption have led to the emergence of de facto models that reflect…
Interoperable Semantic Architectures for Traditional, Complementary, and Integrative Medicine In Electronic Health Record Systems
This white paper addresses the challenge of integrating traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine (TCIM) into modern electronic health record (EHR) systems. While current EHRs support biomedical interoperability, they often lack structured, machine-interpretable mechanisms for capturing TCIM diagnostic frameworks, interventions, and therapies. Building on IEEE Industry Connections definitions of EMRs and…
Ethical Principles for Engineering Digital Services for Children
Prior work on the ethics of engineering digital products and services for children has led to a patchwork of proposed principles. There appears to be limited ethics education embedded within traditional digital engineering curricula, which may be one of several factors relevant to understanding the risks and harms children and…
