This collection of chapters focuses on the use of recently developed computational techniques to analyze data in the context of health, including healthcare as well as public health. Data is used in a broad sense and can be generated by a variety of sources (e.g. community-based surveys, wearable devices, or mobile phone sensors) or be of different types (e.g., unstructured, semi-structured, or structured). Our interest is in transforming data into insight for professionals, ranging from clinicians to policymakers. Insight may be provided by learning models from the data, inferring user behaviours, or designing decision making systems. The topic covered in this book include, but are not
limited to:

•Algorithms for Natural language processing and clinical pattern
recognitions
•Behavioral, Environmental, and Public Health Informatics
•Biological Network Modeling and Analysis
•Biomedical Imaging and Data Visualization
•Clinical and Health Decision Support Systems
•Content-based image retrieval
•Data breach prevention and security
•Data inference, mining, and trend analysis
•Healthcare communication networks
•Health information systems and convergence of health
•Healthcare modeling and simulation
•Knowledge discovery and decision support
•Mobile Health and Sensor Networks
•Predictive Modeling and Analytics in Healthcare
•Public health management solutions
•Sensor based mHealth apps
•Text Mining of Biomedical Literature and Clinical Notes
