  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;

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.
