Preface
This workshop is the eleventh in a series of highly productive workshops on CBR in the Health
Sciences (CBR-HS). Previous CBR-HS workshops were held in Trondheim (ICCBR-03), Madrid
(ECCBR-04), Chicago (ICCBR-05), Öludeniz/Fethiye (ECCBR-06), Belfast (ICCBR-07), Trier
(ECCBR-08), Seattle (ICCBR-09), Lyon (ICCBR-12), Saratoga Springs (ICCBR-13), and Frankfurt
(ICCBR-15). The goals of this workshop are to:

   •  provide a forum for identifying important contributions and opportunities for
      research on the application of CBR to the health science,
   • promote the systematic study of how to apply CBR to the health sciences, and
   showcase applications of CBR in the health sciences.

This workshop is of interest to anyone working in CBR in medicine, in bioinformatics
applications, or on providing technological assistance to enable independent, healthful living
for those with physical limitations or chronic health concerns. Moreover, people who are
interested in CBR methodological issues, and wish to evaluate the possibility of applying their
research to this particular domain, could attend the workshop. Participants of the previous
workshops on CBR in the Health Sciences are targeted audience, and we also hope to draw in
additional participants. We aim to educate CBR researchers who are new to the health
sciences domain about its problems and promises, while providing experienced researchers
the opportunity for peer contact, discussion and feedback.

Workshop Topics focus on:

    •   Analogical reasoning in health                •   Theoretical frameworks for CBR in
        sciences                                          medical reasoning
    •   Integration of CBR in health care             •   CBR in bioinformatics
        environments                                  •   CBR and evidence-based medicine
    •   CBR in medical decision-support               •   CBR in health social networks
        systems                                       •   CBR in mHealth, eHealth, and
    •   CBR in medial imaging                             wearable health
    •   CBR and bio signals                           •   CBR and personalized medicine
    •   CBR in enabling technologies for              •   CBR for health and wellness
        those with physical disabilities or               Cognitive approaches to applying
        chronic health problems                           CBR to medicine
    •   CBR and knowledge discovery in
        medicine and the health sciences
