3rd IEEE International Conference on Biomedical and Health
Informatics
The 3rd IEEE EMBS International Conference on Biomedical &
Health Informatics (BHI’16) of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and
Biology Society hosted an electronic paper submission process for
the conference. It was the responsibility of the submitting Author
to ensure the document was viewable and without errors that would
prevent the Conference from including the paper in the Digital
Proceedings or Website. In the event a paper was submitted that
could not be viewed or printed properly, the Conference elected to
only publish the abstract of the paper in the Proceedings.
All conference papers were peer-reviewed by experts chosen by
the BHI Conference Editorial Board for all contributed and Special
Session papers.

WELCOME MESSAGE
3rd IEEE International Conference on Biomedical and Health
Informatics
Dear Colleague: We are pleased to welcome you to the 3rd IEEE
International Conference on Biomedical Health Informatics. Health
Informatics is identified as one of the 14 Grand Challenges of The
21st Century by USA National Academy of Engineering. Biomedical and
Health Informatics (BHI) is the interdisciplinary field that
studies and pursues the effective uses of biomedical data,
information, and knowledge for scientific inquiry, problem solving,
and decision making, motivated by efforts to improve human health.
Therefore, with the healthcare cost surging in almost all nations
around the globe, it is critical to speed up the Biomedical and
Health Informatics to improve health care with lower cost. The
mission of IEEE BHI 2016 is to continually foster this fast growing
community by bringing together more academic researchers,
clinicians, industrial representatives, research funding agencies,
and government policy makers to identify top challenges and
priorities, to present high quality research findings, and to share
successful stories around the central theme “Integrative
informatics for precision and preventive medicine.” This conference
is devoted to translational healthcare, specially for precision and
preventive medicine, that encompass both the integration and
intersection of engineering, medicine, and healthcare, as the
realization of innovative and high-impact ideas in healthcare can
be better achieved through the involvement of multiple disciplines.
This year, BHI 2016 is also co-located with the Healthcare
Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Annual
Conference & Exhibition in Las Vegas, NV, USA. The conference
is organized into six main topics: Health/Medical Informatics,
Bioinformatics, Sensor Informatics, Imaging Informatics, Public
Health Informatics, and Theoretical Foundation of Informatics. It
will cover diverse topics from cutting-edge biomedical and
healthcare technology research and development, clinical
applications, to biomedical education. We have a superb group of
keynote speakers, workshops, special sessions, and oral and poster
sessions. A great deal of effort was done to make sure that all
sessions are highly interactive and of interest to our
participants. We want to take this opportunity to thank the members
of various BHI committees. Their hard work created the robust
program that you can enjoy in these three days. We would also like
to thank all the participants that choose this venue to present
their current research work. Networking is one of the most
interesting facets of IEEE BHI 2016 conference we have dedicated
part of the program to social events that are going to give you a
lot of opportunities to make personal contacts. We are looking
forward to seeing you in Las Vegas! On behalf of the 2016 IEEE
Biomedical Health Informatics Conference Organizing Committee!

Plenary & Keynote SPEAKERS
3rd IEEE International Conference on Biomedical and Health
Informatics
RUSS B. ALTMAN, MD, PHD
Chairman, Department of Bioengineering, Stanford University
Dr. Altman is a professor of bioengineering, genetics, &
medicine (and of computer science by courtesy) and chairman of the
bioengineering department at Stanford University. His primary
research interests are in the application of computing technology
to basic molecular biological problems of relevance to medicine. He
is currently developing techniques for collaborative scientific
computation over the internet, including novel
user interfaces to biological data, particularly for
pharmacogenomics. Other work focuses on the analysis of functional
microenvironments within macromolecules and the application of
algorithms for determining the structure, dynamics and function of
biological macromolecules. Dr. Altman holds an M.D. from Stanford
Medical School, a Ph.D. in medical information sciences from
