ICSH 2015 (International Conference for Smart Health 2015

Advancing Informatics for healthcare and healthcare applications hasbecome an international research priority. There is increased effort totransform reactive care to proactive and preventive care, clinic-centric topatient-centered practice, training-based interventions to globally aggregatedevidence, and episodic response to continuous well-being monitoring andmaintenance.

ICSH 2015 (International Conference forSmart Health 2015)is intended to provide a forum for the growing smart health research communityto discuss the principles, algorithms and applications of intelligent dataacquisition, processing, and analysis of healthcare data.

The conference proceedings will be published by Springer LectureNotes in Computer Science (LNCS). The electronic conference proceedings will beprovided at the time of registration. The published proceedings will be sent toeach registrant later by organizers. Selected papers will also be consideredfor IEEE IntelligentSystems and ACMTransactions on ManagementInformation Systems.
