IEEE ICDH 2023 Call for Papers

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:

Models and architectures of digital health and integrated digital health care services
Therapeutic algorithms and disease/condition-specific intervention service design (e.g., diabetes, obesity, COPD, dementia, post cancer treatment, allergies, mental health)
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
Standardizing provider-side and user-side digital health, FHIR resources, profiles and extension for digital health
Delivery pathways co-design and provider/patient acceptability
Crowd-sourcing and social media analysis for predicting and monitoring infectious disease outbreaks and planning and managing care and supply delivery
Digital health systems and tools for health care professional training and workforce development
Digital health technology to reduce disparity and increase inclusion of under-served and vulnerable communities
Digital health systems, software and services for medication adherence, improving patient and provider communication before, during and after hospital discharge
Digital Services to improve the health delivery outcomes in emergency room and ICU
Services to comply with privacy and security regulation in health care system such as HIPAA
Mobile health (mHealth) services and applications which include the use of mobile devices in collecting community and clinical health data, delivery of healthcare information to practitioners, researchers and patients
Real-time monitoring of patient vital signs and the direct provision of care (via mobile telemedicine) for training and collaboration of health workers.
Health economics of services-oriented care delivery systems
Empirical study on savings in unit and total cost realized by patient and community engagement
Security and privacy of digital health systems and service

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.
