- Real-time data analytics and mobile technologies for emergency and humanitarian contexts
- Big data analytics and for public health surveillance and epidemic intelligence
- Crowdsourcing and participatory surveillance
- Web 2.0, online medical/patient communities
- Persuasive technology
- Smart Health and intelligent ubiquitous technologies for health and wellbeing
- Social Computing for Health
- Tracking/wearable and mobile technology
- Personalization and profiling, recommender systems for health
- mHealth for global health in low and middle-income settings
- Citizens Science for Health
- Digital Prevention and Interventions
- Semantic Web, Knowledge Management/Extraction
- E-learning, training and serious games for health

Working on a PhD in Digital Health? Come get invaluable advise from a panel of top academics and practitioners!
The PhD Student Track is designing to provide high quality feedback to doctoral students by offering an
opportunity to students to present their work to a group of mentors and peers. Students currently pursuing a
PhD in a field related to digital health are invited to submit progress reports of up to 2 pages. They should
clearly outline the project, its novelty and significance, and provide at least one result from ongoing work.

*** FORMAT AND OUTPUT ***
Posters and demos will be introduced in an oral session (only a few minutes per authors) and presented in the interactive session on Monday 3rd July 2017 allowing networking and discussions over a glass of wine. PhD Track takes place on Sunday 2nd July 2017 and will include presentation of the research and mentoring in a supportive environment.

Posters, demos, and submitted PhD reports at this call will NOT to be published in the ACM proceedings but featured on the website and in the abstracts book distributed at the conference. At least one co-author must register for the full conference to be included in the programme.
