Introduction

The IFMBE WG on Health Informatics and eHealth, and the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Lab of Computing Medical Informatics & Biomedical-Imaging Technologies invites you to the 3rd ICBHI which will take place in Thessaloniki on 18-21 November, 2017.
It is expected that ICBHI 2017 can catalyze the personal health systems development methodology  thus achieving convergence and integration mechanisms of the above mentioned main scientific areas for the enabling of precision medicine. The need for managing the new findings and capabilities, as well as integrating competencies and thematic areas are absolutely necessary for the area of biomedical and health informatics.
Taking into account the current needs in the biomedical and health informatics area, the conference is expected to streamline in two main axes. The first axis would include biosensors, mHealth/uHealth components and systems, biorobotics, electroceuticals and micro-bio-nano recording, bioparametric estimation and filtering. The second axis would involvencluding machine learning, multiparametric analytics, bioinformatics, big biodata / biomedical computing, medical decision support, patient safety informatics, interoperability and security. Approaches that can be used for integrating these two streams linked to precision medicine applications will also be addressed.
The conference will feature a scientific challenge which shall revolve around the recent high interest in coordinated care theme. The interest is highly related to the increase in aged population and the high numbers of multimorbid patients. It is focused on cardio-respiratory problems related with multi-morbid COPD patients. The goals of the challenge would focus on detection of wheezes and crackles in respiratory sounds. The scientific challenge rules will follow the Physionet challenge rules.

The ICBHI 2017 shall award to four student papers the sum of $500 per paper entering the best paper student competition as well as a waiver of the registration fee.
