HIBES 2012 - 2012 International conference in Healthcare Informatics and Biomedical Engineering Systems, HIBES 2012

Our clinical environments are influenced with health informatics achievements like digital health records, digital images, automated medication handling, work lists, to mention a few, to support health professional in most

areas of health care; community health, primary care and hospitals.
However, Information and Communication Technology is not only replacing manual tasks but more than that since the new forms of interaction and coordination between professionals emerge. The doctors and nurses of today will access the electronic record for information rather than consult a colleague, go to the web for images rather than to the radiology department, or call up the messaging system rather than go to the ward for updates and instructions. Health professionals meet a new reality with new opportunities ? but also new challenges. Databases, networking, graphical interfaces, intelligent decision support systems and specialized programming languages are just a few of the technologies currently used in medical informatics. Mobility and ubiquity in healthcare systems, standardization of technologies and procedures, certification, privacy are some of the issues that medical informatics professionals and the ICT industry in general need to address in order to further promote ICT in healthcare. In the case of medical rehabilitation and assistive technology the use of ICT has had important results in the enhancement of the quality of life, contributing to a full integration of all citizens in the societies they are also part of.
2012 International conference in Healthcare Informatics and Biomedical Engineering Systems ( HIBES 2012) will be held in Bali Indonesia from 2-3 August, is a forum for debating all these aspects. Furthermore, this conference is also a meeting place for those interested in understanding the human and social implications of technology, not only in healthcare systems but in other aspects of human-machine interaction such as accessibility issues.
The purpose of the International conference in Healthcare Informatics and Biomedical Engineering Systems (HIBES 2012) is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the application of information and communication technologies (ICT) to healthcare and Biomedical Engineering.
HIBES 2012 encourages authors to submit papers to one of the main topics indicated below, describing original work, including methods, techniques, advanced prototypes, applications, systems, tools or survey papers, reporting research results and/or indicating future directions. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference by one of the authors and published in the proceedings. Acceptance will be based on quality, relevance and originality. There will be both oral and poster sessions.
