Caring is Sharing — Exploiting the Value in Data for Health and Innovation
Modern information and communication technologies make it easier for individuals to be involved in their own health and social care. They also facilitate contact between individuals and service providers and deliver more efficient tools for healthcare staff. Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises to bring even more benefits in the future, with more effectiveness and the provision of decision support. This book presents the proceedings of the 33rd Medical Informatics Europe Conference, MIE2023, held in Gothenburg, Sweden, from 22 to 25 May 2023. The theme of MIE2023 was ‘Caring is Sharing – Exploiting Value in Data for Health and Innovation’, stressing the increasing importance of sharin...
Evolutionary Biology of Tumor Initiation and Progression
Cancer is characterized by heterogeneous cells with capacity for self renewal, and selective pressures in the microenvironment which constantly change the cell population. This "descent with modification" is consistent with Darwin's definition of evolution, and accordingly, cancer progression can be captured from an evolutionary angle. However, there is also a clear difference between cancer progression and biological evolution. First, contrary to the evolution of complex organisms, cancer originates from cells of multicellular organisms that escape their constraints and behave like unicellular organisms. Therefore, from the beginning, cancer cells have complex genomes that contain abundant genetic materials which they can use to change their phenotype by dynamic rearrangements and modifications. Secondly, epigenetic effects promote cancer evolution in contrast to the evolution of life. Some tumors develop with minimal genetic alterations, and cell plasticity contributes to both initiation and progression in various tumors. However, an evolutionary theory that encompasses these characteristics of cancer remains to be developed.
ICT for Health Science Research
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is used in healthcare and health science research in application domains such as clinical trials and the development of drug and medical devices, as well as in translational medicine, with the aim of improving prevention, diagnosis, and interventions in health and care. This book presents accepted papers from the 2019 European Federation of Medical Informatics conference (EFMI STC 2019), held in Hanover, Germany, from 7 – 10 April 2019. More than 90 submissions were received, from which, after review, the Scientific Program Committee (SPC) accepted 50 full papers to be included in this volume of proceedings. In addition, 16 poster presentatio...
Challenges of Trustable AI and Added-Value on Health
Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare promises to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and screening, support clinical care, and assist in various public health interventions such as disease surveillance, outbreak response, and health system management. But the increasing importance of AI in healthcare means that trustworthy AI is vital to achieve the beneficial impacts on health anticipated by both health professionals and patients. This book presents the proceedings of the 32nd Medical Informatics Europe Conference (MIE2022), organized by the European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI) and held from 27 - 30 May 2022 in Nice, France. The theme of the conference was Challenges of Tr...
Exploring Complexity in Health: An Interdisciplinary Systems Approach
The field of health is an increasingly complex and technical one; and an area in which a more multidisciplinary approach would undoubtedly be beneficial in many ways. This book presents papers from the conference ‘Health – Exploring Complexity: An Interdisciplinary Systems Approach’, held in Munich, Germany, from August 28th to September 2nd 2016. This joint conference unites the conferences of the German Association for Medical Informatics, Biometry and Epidemiology (GMDS), the German Society for Epidemiology (DGEpi), the International Epidemiological Association - European Region, and the European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI). These societies already have long-standing e...
Symbolic and Quantiative Approaches to Resoning with Uncertainty
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th European Conference on Symbolic and Quantitative Approaches to Reasoning with Uncertainty, ECSQARU 2013, held in Utrecht, The Netherlands, in July 2013. The 44 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 89 submissions. Papers come from researchers interested in advancing the technology and from practitioners using uncertainty techniques in real-world applications. The scope of the ECSQARU conferences encompasses fundamental issues, representation, inference, learning, and decision making in qualitative and numeric uncertainty paradigms.
Data Integration in the Life Sciences
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Data Integration in the Life Sciences, DILS 2015, held in Los Angeles, CA, USA, in July 2015. The 24 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. They are organized in topical sections named: data integration technologies; ontology and knowledge engineering for data integration; biomedical data standards and coding; medical research applications; and graduate student consortium.
Public Health and Informatics
For several years now, both eHealth applications and digitalization have been seen as fundamental to the new era of health informatics and public health. The current pandemic situation has also highlighted the importance of medical informatics for the scientific process of evidence-based reasoning and decision making at all levels of healthcare. This book presents the accepted full papers, short papers, and poster papers delivered as part of the 31st Medical Informatics in Europe Conference (MIE 2021), held virtually from 29-31 May 2021. MIE 2021 was originally due to be held in Athens, Greece, but due to the continuing pandemic situation, the conference was held as a virtual event. The 261 papers included here are grouped into 7 chapters: biomedical data, tools and methods; supporting care delivery; health and prevention; precision medicine and public health; human factors and citizen centered digital health; ethics, legal and societal aspects; and posters. Providing a state-of-the-art overview of medical informatics from around the world, the book will be of interest to all those working with eHealth applications and digitalization to improve the delivery of healthcare today.
