HISB 2012 - 2012 IEEE Second International Conference on Healthcare Informatics, Imaging and Systems Biology (HISB)

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 the analyze their relationships with wellness and clinical outcomes.
Authors of accepted paper can opt towards publication of their paper in IEEE Explorer, or to publish the abstract in the HISB Proceedings only (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). 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. A non-exhaustive list of topics appears below.
