He completed his studies and obtained his PhD from the Electronic and Electrical Engineering Department Loughborough University, UK in 1994. Since then he held several academic and research academic posts in UK and Canada including senior lectureships in the Universities of Portsmouth and Brunel University in UK and was also an associate Professor in the Universities of Ryerson, Toronto and adjunct Professor in the University of West Ontario in Canada. He was the 2008 Leverhulme distinguished visiting fellow at the Centre for Global e-health Innovation University of Toronto and the University's Health Network, Canada.
Professor Istepanian is a Fellow of the Institute of Engineering Technology (Formerly IEE) and Senior Member of the IEEE. He is investigator and co-investigator of several EPSRC and EU research grants on wireless telemedicine and other research or visiting grants from the British Council and the Royal Society, the Royal Academy of Engineering and Leverhulme Trust. He was also the UK lead investigator of several EU -IST and e-Ten projects in the areas of mobile healthcare, as well as a member on several experts and grants review committees. More recently he was a member for the Canada Foundation for Innovations experts' panel for their strategic healthcare projects.
He currently serves on several IEEE Transactions and international journals' editorial boards including IEEE Transaction on Information Technology in Biomedicine (since 1997), IEEE Transactions on NanoBioScience and IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, the International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications and Journal of Mobile Multimedia. He has also served as guest editor of several special issues of the IEEE Transactions including IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine (on seamless mobility for healthcare and m-health systems, 2005) and the IEEE Transactions of NanoBioScience (on Microarray Image Processing, 2004).
He was the co-chairman of the UK/RI chapter of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology in 2002. He is recipient of the 2009 IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology outstanding IEEE Transactions paper on m-health systems. He also served as expert and reviewer on numerous funding bodies in UK and Canada. Also invited keynote speaker in several international conferences in UK and USA and Canada including, the Harvard and Partners Telemedicine conference on 'Optimising Care Through Communication Technologies' (Boston-2005) and the second International Conference on Smart homes and health Telematics, ICOST (Singapore-2004) and the 'Building on Broadband Britain' Conference (London-2005). He was also on the technical committee of the IEEE HealthComm International Workshops (Nancy, France2002), (Los Angeles, 2003) and (Seoul, 2005). He also served on the technical committee and chaired several national and international international conferences in UK (IET) and Canada including IEEE conferences including the Telemed conferences of the Royal Society of Medicine, London, the 2000 World Medical Congress, Chicago and the IEEE- Engineering in Medicine and Biology International Annual Conferences (IEEE-EMBS 97, 98, 99, 06, 07, 08)
He has published more than 170-refereed journal and conference papers and edited three books including chapters in the areas of mobile communications for healthcare, m-health technologies and biomedical signals processing
