Description of the topics

Biomedical and health informatics aims to utilize information technologies to drive progress in biomedicine and healthcare. One of the fundamental issues that biomedical and healthcare researchers encounter today is how to make use of the enormous amount of electronic biomedical and health data.

Healthcare knowledge discovery from the data holds great promise to improve the quality of patient care, prevent potential medical errors, and reduce healthcare cost. In addition, this may enable the practices of medicine to be biomedical and health data-driven and accelerate evidence-based medicine. Establishing a methodology for knowledge discovery and management of large amounts of biomedical and health data has therefore become a main priority in health informatics and biomedicine. To accomplish this objective, both practical applications and theoretical research will be essential.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers from diverse fields including computer science, information science, biomedical informatics, biomedicine, and healthcare to foster knowledge-sharing and exchange of ideas on current research issues and technologies.

Paper Review Policy

The BHI workshop is operated by the program committee (PC). The role of the workshop Chair is to organize the committee. Each PC member is able to select papers for review based on their research interests and availability unlike the traditional review practice in which the Chair assigns papers to PC and they review the papers regardless of their interests. As a result, depending on PC's interests, some papers may not be reviewed by the PC at all. Those papers cannot be accepted and published since they are not even selected for review and thus the workshop cannot evaluate them.
