Distributed and Parallel Databases invites papers for a special issue
on Data Management and Analytics for Healthcare.
Scope
Healthcare enterprises are producing large amounts of data through
electronic medical records, medical
imaging, health insurance claims, surveillance, and others. Such data
have high potential to transform current healthcare to improve
healthcare quality and prevent diseases, and advance biomedical
research. Medical Informatics is an interdisciplinary field that
studies and pursues the effective use of medical data,
information, and knowledge for scientific inquiry, problem solving
and decision making, driven by efforts to improve human health and
well-being. This special issue seeks original and high-quality
research articles cross-cutting information management and medical
informatics to discuss innovative data management and analytics
technologies highlighting end-to-end applications, systems, and
methods to address problems in healthcare, public health, and
everyday wellness, with clinical, physiological, imaging,
behavioral,environmental, and omic- data, and data from social media
and the Web. Topics of interest include, but not limited to:
* Big data integration for biomedical data;
* Data cleansing for noisy and missing data;
* Medical data and knowledge management and decision support;
* Data management technologies for medical data;
* Semantic Web and ontologies for biomedical applications;
* Medical natural language processing and text mining;
* Data mining and knowledge discovery from medical data;
* Algorithms to speed up the analysis of big medical data;
* Innovative visualization for query and analysis of medical data;
* Medical image mining;
* Medical information retrieval;
* Data privacy and security for healthcare data;
* Hospital readmission analytics;
* Medical fraud detection;
* Social media and Web data analytics for public health;
* Data analytics for pervasive computing for medical care.
