Background
Health informatics is a multidisciplinary field that covers all data related to healthcare. Digital health and big data create the need for advanced analytics methods that allow experts to model health systems at an unprecedented level of detail and to begin understanding the underlying mechanisms. The field of Information Visualization is the study of (interactive) visual representations of abstract data to reinforce human cognition. Data visualization supports analytical reasoning about complex and largescale datasets using a combination of interactive visualization-based user interfaces and computational analysis. The application of Information Visualization techniques into health informatics promotes the exchange of ideas, interactions, and collaborations between the related communities towards health diagnostics and personalized medicine.
Aims and scope
The current workshop aims at attracting the interest of researchers in the fields of Information Technologies, Computational Biology, Bioinformatics and Medical Sciences towards the development of a framework of Interactive Visualization Methodologies that comply with ethical requirements and are provide novel and useful solutions to problems of data management and understanding
