Health Informatics is identified as one of the 14 Grand Challenges of The 21st Century by USA National Academy of Engineering. Biomedical and Health Informatics (BHI) is the interdisciplinary field that studies and pursues the effective uses of biomedical data, information, and knowledge for scientific inquiry, problem solving, and decision making, motivated by efforts to improve human health. Therefore, with the healthcare cost surging in almost all nations around the globe, it is critical to speed up the Biomedical and Health Informatics to improve health care with lower cost.In 2012, IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (IEEE-EMBS) has launched a Special Topic Conference “IEEE-EMBS International Conferences on Biomedical and Health Informatics (BHI)” with more than 330 registered attendees. Building upon the success of BHI’2012 in Shenzhen China, the second BHI’2014 conference will be held in Valencia, Spain during June 1st- 4th, 2014.Main topics of BHI 2014 will be, but not limited to:
Information technologies for healthcare delivery and management
Health data acquisition, management and visualization
Healthcare knowledge management and decision support
Healthcare modeling and simulation
Data analytics, data mining and machine learning
Health information systems
Healthcare communication networks and environments
Interactions with health information technologies
Bioinformatics
Imaging Informatics
Networking is one of the most interesting facets of IEEE BHI 2014 conference we have dedicated part of the program to social events that are going to give you a lot of opportunities to make personal contacts while enjoying the great offer of culture, fun, food and tourist attractions at Valencia.
