<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">We cordially invite
you to submit your contribution to the Eighth IEEE International Conference
on Healthcare Informatics (ICHI 2020) that will take place June 15-18,
2020 in Oldenburg, Germany. </span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">ICHI 2020 is a
premier community forum concerned with the application of computer science,
information science, data science, and informatics principles, as well
as information technology, and communication science and technology to
address problems and support research in healthcare, medicine, life science,
public health, and everyday wellness. The conference highlights the most
novel technical contributions to stakeholder-centered technology innovation
for benefiting human health and the related social and ethical implications.
</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">We strongly encourage
authors to submit their original contributions describing their algorithmic,
methodological or empirical contributions, and theories relevant to the
broader context of health informatics. Submissions can focus on one or
more specific aspects of theory, design, development, evaluation, or deployment.
ICHI 2020 has three tracks for paper and poster submissions: analytics,
human factors, and systems:</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Analytics track:
In the Analytics track, we invite submission on novel methods for exploring
and analyzing healthcare data such as biomedical pattern recognition, biomarker
discovery, disease profiling and personalized treatment, natural language
processing and text mining, recommender systems, clinical phenotyping,
visual analytics, explainability, and epidemiological modeling. </span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Human Factors
track: Contributions in the realm of Human Factors might include empirical
studies of health-related information use and needs, socio-technical studies
on the implementation and use of health information technology, studies
on health informatics in the context of community impact and implications,
descriptions of innovative user-centered design solutions, and studies
of public policy on leveraging health informatics infrastructures. </span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Systems track:
The Systems track welcomes submissions related to the design, development,
deployment, and evaluation of high-performing privacy-preserving and secure
software or hardware systems. </span>

<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">ICHI uses double-blind
reviewing for full and short papers, submissions should therefore be anonymized
and all references and links disclosing the authorship should be blinded
appropriately. </span>

will be published in IEEE Xplore and indexed in other Abstracting and Indexing
(A&I) databases. Accepted papers have an oral presentation slot at
the conference. Selected papers will be invited to submit the extended
version to the Journal of Healthcare Informatics Research and a fast track
review will be conducted for the extended papers.</span>
