[Ieee_vis] [VAHC at VIS2023 - DL 17/07] Final Call for Papers

[Arleo, Alessio]

Dear colleagues,

 

this is the *FINAL* Call for Papers for the Workshop on Visual Analytics in

Healthcare (VAHC) (in conjunction with IEEE VIS 2023)

Website: http://www.visualanalyticshealthcare.org

 

The submission deadline is July 17, 2023, creating an opportunity to

showcase late-breaking research results on Visual Analytics in Healthcare.

 

CALL FOR PAPERS:

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

The 2023 Workshop on Visual Analytics in Healthcare (VAHC 2023) is the 14th

annual workshop that provides an opportunity for participants to discuss

state-of-the-art interactive visual data analysis techniques and review how

such techniques can be applied to healthcare data. The primary objective of

the workshop is to bring together leading VIS designers, scientists, medical

experts, and visionaries to discuss: a) interactive data visualization

techniques that can be applied to healthcare data, b) areas of healthcare

that need more attention from visualization and visual data analysis

research, and c) emerging research trends, visualization techniques,

software applications, benchmarks, and open datasets. The workshop will

enable presenters to showcase their ongoing work through oral presentations

and system demos, either as video supplemental material or live demos during

the workshop to be arranged with the organizers for maximum visibility. In

years past, demos of prototype and/or production visual analytics software

have been particularly well received, and paper submitters are encouraged to

submit a companion demo proposal.

 

BEST PAPERS:

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

VAHC assigns Best Paper and Honorable Mention awards. The awards entail a

certificate and recognition on the VAHC website. This year, we also plan to

invite authors of high-quality papers to submit a revised and extended

version to an internationally recognized scientific journal (t.b.a. soon).

The topic of this special issue will be ?Interactive Visualization of Health

Data for Digital and Personal Health?. The review process will seek to

assign the same reviewers for previously accepted VAHC papers. Watch out for

details in our second call for papers.

 

TOPICS AND SCOPE:

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

We welcome discussions of the use of visual approaches, interaction design,

statistical methods, and machine learning for healthcare data analysis.

Participants may address the needs of various user groups, including (but

not limited to) patients, clinical researchers, epidemiologists, public

health analysts, physicians, hospital-based quality assurance officers, and

insurance claim analysts.

 

The 2023 Workshop on Visual Analytics in Healthcare will cover a range of

topics on the design, implementation, deployment, evaluation, and

abstraction of visual analytics methods, including (but not limited to):

Clinical care

   - Prescription drugs and drug-drug interactions 

   - Multi-omic datasets 

   - Longitudinal clinical data 

   - Visual data mining of EMRs

  - Specific treatment contexts, emergency department, patient safety,

mental health.

   - Clinical workflows

   - Outcome forecasting or prediction

   - Explainable AI and ML in healthcare 

Digital health and personal health

   - Mobile health

   - Wearable devices' data control and processing

   - Telehealth and telemedicine

   - Personalized medicine

Patient-related applications:

   - Patient-generated health data

   - Understanding of patient behavior and experience 

   - Patient education  

   - Physician-patient communication 

Public health data:

   - Pandemic forecasting and tracking  

   - Learning from crises with visualization 

   - Public health surveillance systems

 

 

PAPER SUBMISSION AND FORMAT GUIDELINES:

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

VAHC 2023 will have a new paper format!

We will accept short papers with up to six pages plus one page of references

(6+1).

 

We encourage a diverse range of submissions and demonstrations from

academia, healthcare organizations, and industry in any of the short paper

types listed below:

Application papers (format: 6+1)

Research papers (format: 6+1)

Positions and system demo papers (format 2+1) 

Posters (format: 2+1 abstract and A0 poster)

 

Accepted application papers and research papers will be published in the

IEEE Xplore digital library. Accepted system demo papers and posters will be

included in the VAHC proceedings and made available via IEEE VIS for digital

download. We remind you that at least one author of each accepted paper is

expected to be in person at the workshop to present. 

All accepted types of submissions will have the chance for an oral

presentation.

 

Demo: Every system demo paper may be accompanied by a video demo submission

 

All material will be submitted via the Precision Conference System (PCS):
