The International Symposium on Health Informatics and Bioinformatics,
(HIBIT), now in its seventh year (HIBIT 2012), aims to bring together
academicians, researchers and practitioners who work in these popular
and fulfilling areas and to create the much-needed synergy among
medical, biological and information technology sectors. HIBIT is one
of the few international conferences on this subject in the world;
therefore international participation from all around the world is
anticipated. HIBIT provides a forum for discussion, exploration and
