IEEE ICDH 2022 Call for Papers
The 2022 IEEE World Congress on Services will be held in a hybrid mode with physical presence in Barcelona, Spain. SERVICES 2022 is solely sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society under the auspice of the Technical Committee on Services Computing (TCSVC). Conferences under the 2022 IEEE World Congress on Services include IEEE CLOUD, IEEE EDGE, IEEE ICDH, IEEE ICWS, IEEE QSW, and IEEE SCC.
Call for Papers
IEEE International Conference on Digital Health (ICDH) is a prime international forum for both researchers and industry practitioners to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of digital health technologies, emerging research topics, and the future of digital health. ICDH aims to bring together leading researchers, community leaders and visionaries from academia and industry, end-users, and healthcare professionals, in the area of digital health to share their research, practical experience, and visions of the future of sustainable health and social care transformations. Significant opportunities of research and development of the digital health ecosystem have been leading to new tools, techniques, analysis and automation of health care delivery models seeking improved outcomes for all related stakeholders including the patients and the health providers.
ICDH will include a broad range of issues and concerns, including, but not limited to, the following topics:
System Infrastructure and Operation- Infrastructure of digital distributed and connected digital healthcare services
- Digital Services to improve the health delivery outcomes in emergency room and ICU
- Real time monitoring of patients’ status, health information and vital signs using Internet of Things (IoT)
- Mobile health (mHealth) services and applications that include the use of mobile devices to collect community and clinical health data, and delivery of healthcare information to practitioners, researchers and patients
- Digital health systems, software and services for medication adherence, improving patient and provider communication before, during and after hospital discharge
- Digital health technology to reduce disparity and increase inclusion of under-served and vulnerable communities
- Patient/user-side design for digital health care that may address user needs, social isolation, assisted living for older adults and individuals with special needs, emergencies
- Digital health systems and tools for health care professional training and workforce development
- Training healthcare workers on the use of digital systems
- Archival and publication of healthcare information
- Therapeutic algorithms and disease/condition-specific intervention service design (e.g., diabetes, obesity, COPD, dementia, post cancer treatment, allergies, mental health)
- Empirical study on savings in unit and total cost realized by patient and community engagement
- Health economics of services-oriented care delivery systems
- Crowd-sourcing and social media analysis for predicting and monitoring infectious disease outbreaks and planning and managing care and supply delivery
- Medical image analysis
- Analysis of electronic medical records
- Standardizing provider-side and user-side digital health, FHIR resources, profiles and extension for digital health
- Delivery pathways co-design and provider/patient acceptability
- Services to comply with privacy and security regulation in health care system such as HIPAA
- Security and privacy of digital health systems and service
- Computational analysis of molecular biology
- DNA-RNA sequencing

- Every “Work-in-Progress” paper can include up to 3 pages (including main contents and references). WIP papers present high-innovative ideas favouring innovation and potential impact.
- Please note that the above page limits will be applied without exception. Papers violating the page limit will regretfully be desk rejected.
File format: Limit the size of a single PDF file to be 6MB
All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. Accepted papers with confirmed registration and committed presentation will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. TCSVC will provide a cash prize of USD 400.00 to every Best Paper and Best Student Paper at IEEE SERVICES 2022. Recipients of "Best Paper", "Best Student Paper", and special paper awards will be presented with award certificates and cash prizes in the to-be-recorded Awards session of the conference. The authors of selected papers will be encouraged to submit extended and enhanced versions of their papers to the IEEE Transactions on Services Computing (TSC) and other suitable journals.
Submitted papers are REQUIRED to be formatted using the IEEE Proceedings template. Unformatted papers and papers beyond the page limit will not be reviewed.
Important Dates (Anywhere on Earth) NOTE - NEW DEADLINES
Paper submissions due: April 1, 2022
Final notification to authors: May 15, 2022
Camera-ready paper and registration due: (UPDATED) June 10, 2022
Review Policy
IEEE Policy and professional ethics require that referees treat the contents of papers under review as privileged information not to be disclosed to others before publication. It is expected that no one with access to a paper under review will make any inappropriate use of the special knowledge, which that access provides. Contents of abstracts submitted to conference program committees should be regarded as privileged as well, and handled in the same manner. The Conference Publications Chair shall ensure that referees adhere to this practice.
Organizers of IEEE conferences are expected to provide an appropriate forum for the oral presentation and discussion of all accepted papers. An author, in offering a paper for presentation at an IEEE conference, or accepting an invitation to present a paper, is expected to be present at the meeting to deliver the paper. In the event that circumstances unknown at the time of submission of a paper preclude its presentation by an author, the program chair should be informed on time, and appropriate substitute arrangements should be made. In some cases it may help reduce no-shows for the Conference to require advance registration together with the submission of the final manuscript.
