IEEE BIBM 2024 Workshop
Information Systems for Health Emergencies
and Patients Oriented Research
(IS-4HE&POR)
***Deadline Extension***: 24-October-2024 (!)
Introduction to Workshop
The workshop on Information Systems for Health Emergencies and Patients Oriented Research (IS-4HE&POR) addresses Biomedicine and Health Informatics subjects associated with health emergencies and responses, along with digital applications directed to the patient’s safety and quality of life. While patient-based research is critical, vital in many cases, health emergencies are highly impacting the fragile equilibria within the healthcare supply chains.
In this way, the development of scientific and technological tools (e.g., AI-powered imaging, predictive analytics of outbreaks), in conjunction with flexible manufacturing and biotechnological platforms (e.g., vaccines, prophylactics drugs), allow either enhanced responses from the vigilance/reporting digital systems, improved supply of drugs and medical devices, or better performance of healthcare systems. For that, recent advances in IS that support emergencies responses or mitigate patient’s daily risks are highly appreciated.
The IS-4HE&POR workshop is also promoting an industry track, with important partners presenting pilots and demonstrating the implementation of innovative ideas.
Research Topics Included in the Workshop
All workshop accepted papers and posters will appear in the IEEE Conference Proceedings (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/conhome/1001586/all-proceedings)
Selected articles will be invited to submit an extended version to be published after the review process in special journal issues, within the proposed thematic areas: (ongoing…)
