IHI 2012 is the flagship symposium on health informatics promoted by
the Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group on
Health Informatics (ACM SIGHIT). IHI is designed to run as an annual
showcase for exciting and innovative research on techniques and
technologies developed in universities, hospitals, research labs, and
companies all over the world.

IHI 2012 will feature about 140 contributions from 37 countries,
including keynote speeches, regular papers, short papers,
demonstrations, free tutorials, panels, extended abstracts, and
doctoral consortium. Selected regular papers and short papers will be
presented in oral sessions. Other papers and demos will be presented
by the authors in an open setting, specifically designed to encourage
conversation and discussion. The symposium will cover the breadth of
problems faced by the community: health informatics education,
telemedicine, systems for decision support, human-centered design,
information retrieval techniques for health applications,
accessibility to personalized predictive modeling techniques, and so
on. A highlight of the conference is that we will give awards for the
best paper and the best student paper.
