    Despite the substantial percentage of GDP spent on healthcare per year, preventable medical errors are still inevitable due to fragmentation of medical information. The nascent field of health informatics is beginning to collaborate with transdisciplinary teams to address some of these issues and provide solutions for effective healthcare and wellness in both academe and industry. Informatics based solutions have not only changed the way in which information is collected and stored but also played a crucial role in the management and delivery of healthcare. We are envisioning a transformation from 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.

    This workshop is organized to develop a platform for authors to discuss fundamental principles, algorithms or applications of intelligent data acquisition, processing and analysis of healthcare data. We are particularly interested in knowledge discovery and data mining papers, in which the approaches are accompanied by an in-depth experimental evaluation with real world data. Topics of interest include but not limited to:

    Healthcare knowledge abstraction, classification and summarization

    Effective Information retrieval for healthcare applications

    Semantic Web, linked data, ontology, and healthcare

    Text mining for biomedical literature and clinical notes

    Natural language processing and text mining for biomedical literature, clinical notes, and health consumer texts

    Computational support for patient-centered and evidence-based care

    Disease profiling and personalized treatment

    Virtual patient modeling for learning, practicing and demonstrating care practices

    Medical recommender systems

    Consumer and clinician health information needs, seeking, sharing, and use

    Data augmentation and combination for evidence-based clinical decision making

    Biomarker discovery and biomedical data mining

    Mental and physical health data integration

    Continuous monitoring and streaming technologies for healthcare

    Intelligent medical devices and sensors

    Localized data for improving emergency care

    Computer-aided diagnosis

    Computer support for surgical intervention

    Pharmaco- and pharmacy informatics systems

    Systems for Telemedicine

    Visual analytics for healthcare

    Healthcare workflow management

    Global spread of disease: models, tools and interventions

    E-communities, social networks, and social media for patients and caregivers

    Virtual and augmented reality for healthcare
