The 2nd IEEE Conference on Healthcare Informatics, Imaging, and Systems Biology
(HISB): Analyzing Big Data for Healthcare and Biomedical Sciences
UCSD, La Jolla, California, September 27-28, 2012
Personalizing medicine and improving healthcare relies on new biologic discoveries, algorithms, information systems, and technologies from multiple fields. The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers in healthcare informatics, medical imaging, and human systems biology to not only present the state-of-the-art research in their fields, but also create synergies among the community to close the loop in the biological analysis of health and disease, detect patterns through advanced imaging and monitoring devices, and analyze their relationships with wellness and clinical outcomes.
We solicit original, high-quality submissions that address innovative research and applications along the tracks of (1) healthcare informatics and mobile health, (2) imaging informatics, and (3) bioinformatics and human-based systems biology. Authors of accepted paper can opt towards publication of their paper in IEEE Explorer (EI indexed), or to publish only the abstract in the HISB Proceedings (so that the paper can be submitted to a journal). The goal is to feature the best work in the conference and get feedback from the audience. Selected papers will be invited for submission to the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association (JAMIA). Below is a non-exhaustive list of topics.
Conference Chair: Dr. Lucila Ohno-Machado, UC San Diego
Scientific Program Co-Chairs:
Health Informatics: Dr. Christopher Chute, Mayo Clinic; Dr. Michael Matheny, Vanderbilt University
Imaging: Dr. Sameer Antani, NLM/NIH; Dr. Daniel Rubin, Stanford University
