International Conference for Smart Health (ICSH) 2014

Beijing, China
July 10-11, 2014
http://www.icsh2014.org

Advancing Informatics for healthcare and healthcare applications has become an international research priority. There is increased effort to transform reactive care to proactive and preventive care, clinic-centric to patient-centered practice, training-based interventions to globally aggregated evidence, and episodic response to continuous well-being monitoring and maintenance.

In 2013, the International Conference for Smart Health 2013 was successfully held in Beijing, China. Researchers and practitioners from related fields attended this conference and engaged in active interdisciplinary discussions concerning bio-medical, IT, and policy topics. The International Conference for Smart Health 2014 is intended to provide a forum for the growing smart health research community to discuss the principles, algorithms and applications of intelligent data acquisition, processing, and analysis of healthcare data. The ICSH conference proceedings will be published by Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Selected papers will also be considered for IEEE Intelligent Systems and ACM Transactions on Management Information Systems.
