The international Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics (BHI2015 or ICBHI2015) is a special topic conference and a common initiative by the International Federation of Medical and Biological Engineering (IFMBE) and IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (IEEE- EMBS). BHI2015 will be held in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, China, 8-10 October 2015. The main theme of the BHI2015 is “The Convergence: Integrating Information and Communication Technologies with Biomedicine for Global Health”. Biomedical and Health Informatics became a fast-evolving interdisciplinary field and advancing health informatics has been identified as a grand challenge for engineering in the 21stcentury. Maintaining and improving human health in this century will require systems engineering approaches to translate care practices and integrate local, Regional, national and global health information networks. The BHI2015 will provide a unique forum to examine enabling technologies of sensors, devices and systems that optimize the acquisition, transmission, processing, storage, retrieval, use of biomedical and health information as well as to report novel clinical applications of health information systems and the deployment of m-Health, e-Health, u-Health, p-Health and Telemedicine. Members of the biomedical, life sciences and engineering communities are encouraged to attend this highly multidisciplinary and convergence meeting.
