<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Conference Aim<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
