DMAH 2022 : The Eighth International Workshop on Data Management and Analytics for Medicine and Healthcare

-- Call for Papers --

The Eighth International Workshop on Data Management and Analytics
for Medicine and Healthcare (DMAH 2022)
In Conjunction with VLDB 2022
Sydney, Australia - virtual event
September 9, 2022
https://sites.google.com/view/vldbdmah2022/

The format of the workshop is to be decided, but a virtual format will be provided for remote participation.

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.

This workshop welcomes papers that address fundamental research issues
for complex medical data environments, data management and analytical
methods, systems and applications.

Topics of interest include, but not limited to:

Big data management for medical data;
Blockchain for healthcare;
Biomedical data integration;
Biomedical knowledge management and decision support;
Semantics and interoperability for healthcare data;
Clinical natural language processing and text mining;
Predictive modeling for diagnosis and treatment;
Visual analytics for medical data;
Medical image analytics;
Data privacy and security for healthcare data;
Hospital readmission analytics;
Medical fraud detection;
Social media and Web data analytics for public health
(public health 2.0);
