INFORMATICS, MANAGEMENT AND
TECHNOLOGY IN HEALTHCARE
Studies in Health Technology and
Informatics
This book series was started in 1990 to promote research conducted under the auspices of the EC
programmes’ Advanced Informatics in Medicine (AIM) and Biomedical and Health Research
(BHR) bioengineering branch. A driving aspect of international health informatics is that
telecommunication technology, rehabilitative technology, intelligent home technology and many
other components are moving together and form one integrated world of information and
communication media. The series has been accepted by MEDLINE/PubMed, SciVerse Scopus,
EMCare, Book Citation Index – Science and Thomson Reuters’ Conference Proceedings Citation
Index.

Preface
The current volume presents the accepted full papers of the ICIMTH (International
Conference on Informatics, Management, and Technology in Healthcare). The Orga-
nising Committee and the Scientific Programme Committee would like to present to
the academic community the scientific outcomes of the ICIMTH 2013 Conference,
which is being held from 5 to 7 July, 2013 in Athens, Greece.
The ICIMTH 2013 Conference is an extended and also a follow-up of the Confe-
rence held in Samos Island, Greece for ten consecutive years where the organising in-
stitutions of the current conference had also assisted and promoted. Hence, we can easi-
ly say that this is the 11th Annual Conference in this series of scientific events, gather-
ing scientists from all continents as well as from the hosting country in the field of
Biomedical and Health Informatics.
The Conference has a major focus on the applications of Biomedical Informatics
from Clinical Informatics, Health Informatics to Public Health Informatics as well as
on ICT applications in the Healthcare domain. Considering that Management and Or-
ganisational Issues play an important role in the implementation phase of Biomedical
Informatics applications, topics related to the above topics are also included as integral
part to the overall theme of the Conference. We are treating the field of Biomedical
Informatics in a very broad framework examining the research and applications out-
comes of Informatics from cell to populations, including a number of Technologies
such as Imaging, Sensors, and Biomedical Equipment.
Therefore, the Conference is open to proposals for full papers, posters, panels,
workshops and tutorials in all aspects of Biomedical Informatics as described above
and as suggested by the Conference acronym of ICIMTH (International Conference on
Informatics, Management, and Technology in Healthcare). However, in this volume we
have incorporated only the papers accepted for full oral presentation, whereas all other
scientific events within the Conference are incorporated within the electronic version of
the proceedings.
At the end of the deadline we have gathered around 135 submissions, from which
after reviewing we have accepted 90 as full papers, therefore, to be included in the vol-
ume proceedings, and 12 poster presentations as well as 2 workshops and 1 panel. All
presentations within the Conference will also be available in an electronic version.
The Organising Committee has selected as venue a luxurious hotel with all neces-
sary facilities for a successful Conference. The location is in the old city of Athens,
where the participants may visit historical museums and sites of Ancient Athens as part
of the ICIMETH 2013 Conference social programme.
It goes without saying that the compilation of the proceedings is a huge task and
this effort could not have been done without the dedication, accuracy, persistence, and
tiresome contribution of our two Assistant Editors, Mr. Parisis Gallos, PhD candidate
and Miss Katia Kolokathi, MSc postgraduate student of the Health Informatics Labora-
tory of the University of Athens.

The Organising Committee working along with the Scientific Programme Commit-
tee is dedicated to organise a successful scientific event and will arrange also to have
an excellent stay for you and your fellows in Athens and enjoy the hospitality, food,
and culture of Greece.
