----------------------------------------------------------

We cordially invite you to submit your contribution to the Twelfth IEEE International Conference on Healthcare Informatics (ICHI 2024) that will take place June 3-6, 2024, in Orlando, Florida, United States of America.

IEEE ICHI 2024 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.

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. IEEE ICHI 2023 has three main tracks for paper submissions: analytics, human factors, and systems:

Analytics track: In the Analytics track, we invite submissions 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.

Human Factors track: Contributions in the realm of Human Factors may include empirical studies on the use and needs of health information technology in everyday life, socio-technical studies on the implementation and utilization of health information technology in clinical settings, investigations into the community-level impact and implications of health informatics, design and evaluative efforts centered on innovative user-centered health information technology, as well as empirical research on public policies that leverage health informatics infrastructures.

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. In particular, the Systems track invites submissions on the development of large language model (LLM) applications, such as ChatGPT, their utilization in clinical settings, and the strengths and limitations of LLMs in enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of clinical research, education, and practice.

Submission
The conference will accept both regular and short papers. Papers should be submitted following instructions at https://ieeeichi2024.github.io/. Paper submissions must adhere to the IEEE Proceedings Format (details will be published soon). Please see the respective calls for publication opportunities such as posters, demos, the industry track, workshops, tutorials, and the doctoral consortium.

Reviewing
ICHI uses a single-blind, two-layer peer-reviewing process. The final decision will be made by the program chair of each track based on at least three reviews by program committee members and one metareview by senior program committee members.

Presentation and Publication
All submissions 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.

Important Dates
- Submission deadline: January 21st, 2024
- Notification of acceptance: March 7th, 2024
- Camera-Ready copy due: March 30th, 2024
