*Call for Papers*
1st International Workshop on Deriving Value from Big Data in Healthcare in conjunction with IEEE BigData 2015 http://knoesis.org/bigdata2value15/ October 29 — November 1, 2015, Santa Clara, CA, USA —————————————————————————————————— *Overview* Data related insights is expected to generate more than $300 billion a year in the US health-care system. Healthcare data is multimodal spanning EMR data, genomic, metabolomic, proteomic, environmental, behavioral, and physiological data generating massive heterogeneous data stream. As an example, Increased proliferation of low-cost sensors has resulted in doctors gaining access to data from patient’s life as never before e.g., Pediatricians treating asthma may get data on environmental triggers using sensors. Quantified Self movement exemplifies an increasing interest of using commonly available low-cost sensors are increasingly being used to monitor physical and physiological observations. This data has created unprecedented opportunities in deriving valuable insights potentially saving lives, saving billions, and improving quality and well-being of people. The Deriving Value from Big Data in Healthcare workshop aims to provide an interdisciplinary forum for data scientists and clinical researchers to exchange ideas and share information on their latest investigations on deriving value from biomedical and healthcare data. We invite novel techniques and algorithms for deriving value from this heterogeneous Big Data in healthcare. *Topics of Interest* The topics of the workshop include but not limited to: - Clinical data, mainly the patient records from clinical institutions, such as electronic health records (EHR), medical imaging, trial data, etc. - Genotype data, the genetic makeups of the individuals, such as DNA and protein. - Social media data, which is the information the individuals posted on online social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, PatientsLikeMe, etc - Environmental sensory data, which are the information sampled from the surrounding environment where the individuals are living in, such as air pollution and humidity information - Behavioral and sentiment data, which could be the data recorded by the wearable devices on patient’s activities - Mobile data, which are sampled from individuals’ mobile devices - Big data clinical modelling - Healthcare data integration and unification, which are platforms designed to integrate healthcare data resources - Cloud based healthcare data storage and reporting *Important Dates* - Paper submission: September 3, 2015 - Author notification: September 25, 2015 - Camera ready of accepted papers: October 5, 2015 - Workshop: October 29, 2015 *Submission* High quality original submissions are solicited for oral and poster presentation at the workshop. Papers should not exceed a maximum of 10 pages, and must follow the IEEE BigData format requirements of the main conference (IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscript Formatting Guidelines). All submissions will be peer-reviewed, and all accepted workshop papers will be published in the proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press.
