Application of Biomedical Informatics

Dear Colleagues,

Biomedical informatics is an interdisciplinary field that involves studying and pursuing effective uses of biomedical data, information, and knowledge for scientific inquiry, problem solving, and decision making, driven by efforts to improve human health. The purpose of this Special Issue is to demonstrate the development and potential of important applications and technologies of biomedical informatics. The main focus of this Special Issue will be on the proposal of applications or techniques of biomedical informatics that may be associated with artificial intelligence, biomedical signal and image processing, medical device, medical system, biomedical translation, health big data, biomedical privacy and security, genetics, public health, health information management, preventive medicine, or precision medicine. This Special Issue aims to serve as an international platform of important references for researchers to survey and summarize the most recent developments in biomedical informatics. Potential topics include but are not limited to:

• Artificial Intelligence in Biomedicine and Health Care
• Preventive Medicine
• Health Big Data
• Biomedical Privacy and Security
• Medical Devices and Systems
• Public Health and Health Information Management
• Techniques and Systems of Biomedical Translation, Genetics, and Precision Medicine
• Biomedical Sensing as well as Biomedical Signal and Image Processing
• Biomedical Expert Systems and Clinical Decision Support Systems
