8th INTERNATIONAL DIGITAL HEALTH CONFERENCE HELD WITH WWW 2018

                                23-26th April 2018, Lyon, France

Conference Aim

Everything is affected by the digital revolution. The opportunities for interdisciplinary digital health research bringing together computer science to dramatically improve health and wellbeing of individuals and populations are extraordinary.

Recent technological advances enabled by creation of real-time big data streams, social media, participatory and context-aware systems and infectious disease modelling are the focus of public health informatics with the aim to achieve an integration with the existing national and international surveillance services. Cutting-edge research into web science, medical ontologies and recommender systems provide further opportunities for development of personalized intelligent systems for public and global health. Serious games, gamification and mhealth interventions empower users in developed world but are accelerating unprecedented access to best evidence, medical advice and healthcare services in developing world.

DH 2018, held in conjunction with the Web Conference 2018, and in cooperation with ACM SIGKDD, will in particular focus on public health computer science covering a wide spectrum of subjects including communities of practice and social networks, analytics and engagement with tracking and monitoring wearable devices, big data, public health surveillance, persuasive technologies, epidemic intelligence, participatory surveillance, serious games for public health interventions and automated early identification of health threats and response.

Submissions

The Proceedings of the Digital Health conference 2018 papers will be peer reviewed by three members of the TPC for relevance, originality, quality and included in the Digital Health 2018 Proceedings, published by ACM

Any paper published by the ACM, IEEE, etc. which can be properly cited constitutes research which must be considered in judging the novelty and relevance. All submitted papers (including extended abstracts) must:

    be written in English;
    contain author names, affiliations, and email addresses;
    be formatted according to the ACM SIGMOD Proceedings template with a font size no smaller than 9pt;
    be in PDF (make sure that the PDF can be viewed on any platform), and formatted for US Letter size.

Main Track and PhD Students Track
Submission types to be published in the ACM DH 2018 proceedings and to be presented orally at the conference (all page limits are final, including the abstract, references, and appendices):

  1.  Long research papers: up to 10 pages;
  2.  Short research papers: up to 5 pages;
  3.  Abstracts from health professionals: up to 2 pages . Medical abstracts may follow the medical paper structure (background, aims, methods, results, conclusions), but this is not essential;
  4.  Progress reports from PhD students: up to 2 pages, having at least one result from the ongoing work (not merely a research proposal). We note that PhD students may also submit long and/or short papers.
Extensions of accepted submissions will have the opportunity to be submitted to the Frontiers in Digital Health<http://journal.frontiersin.org/journal/all/section/digital-health> Research Topic (Special Issue) after the conference. We particularly encourage health professionals to consider this opportunity.
Long research papers, short research papers, abstracts from health professionals, and progress reports from PhD students, if not accepted as such, may be recommended for poster presentation.
Previous work: any paper of 4 pages or more that has been accepted for a journal or conference after peer reviewing, constitutes previous work which will be considered with respect to possible self-plagiarism, and in judging the novelty and relevance of a contribution.
