MEDINFO 2015: eHealth-enabled Health

MEDINFO is the premier international health and biomedical informatics event. MEDINFO 2015 was hosted by SBIS (Brazilian Health Informatics Association) on behalf of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) and took place in the city of Sao Paulo from the 19th to 23rd August 2015.

Under the theme “eHealth-enabled Health”, the world leaders in this field came to Brazil to share knowledge and analyze how eHealth and Biomedical Informatics were contributing to address some of the most challenging problems in health care, public health, consumer health and biomedical research. Researchers, clinicians, technologists and managers were invited to contribute and share experiences on the use of information methods, systems and technologies to improve patient safety, enhance care outcomes, promote patient-centered care, facilitate translational research, enable precision medicine and improve education and skills in health informatics.

This was an historical event as MEDINFO was hosted in South America for the first time. Inclusiveness was of Spanish and Portuguese languages in tutorials and simultaneous translation in sessions held in the main auditorium.
