Healthcare enterprises are producing large amounts of data through electronic medical records, medical imaging, health insurance claims, surveillance, and others. Such data have high potential to transform current healthcare to improve healthcare quality and prevent diseases, and advance biomedical research. Medical Informatics is an interdisciplinary field that studies and pursues the effective use of medical data, information, and knowledge for scientific inquiry, problem solving and decision making, driven by efforts to improve human health and well being.

The goal of the workshop is to bring people in the field cross-cutting information management and medical informatics to discuss innovative data management and analytics technologies highlighting end-to-end applications, systems, and methods to address problems in healthcare, public health, and everyday wellness, with clinical, physiological, imaging, behavioral, environmental, and omic - data, and data from social media and the Web. It will provide a unique opportunity for interaction between information management researchers and biomedical researchers for the interdisciplinary field.


Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
• Regular Research Papers: These papers should report original research results or significant case studies. They should be at most 18 pages.
• Short Papers: These papers may summarise work-in-progress or extensions to previous research papers. They should be at most 6 pages.
• Extended Abstracts. The extended abstracts will present novel research directions or identify challenging problems. They should be at most 2 pages.
Please format your paper based on Springer LNCS template.
To submit a paper, go to the DMAH2019 submission system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dmah2019 ). Only papers submitted via the DMAH2019 submission system will be considered for review.
