The primary objective of<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>the workshop is to bring together leading VIS designers, scientists, medical<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>experts, and visionaries to discuss: a) interactive data visualization<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>techniques that can be applied to healthcare data, b) areas of healthcare<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>that need more attention from visualization and visual data analysis<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>research, and c) emerging research trends, visualization techniques,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>software applications, benchmarks, and open datasets. The workshop will<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>enable presenters to showcase their ongoing work through oral presentations<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>and system demos, either as video supplemental material or live demos during<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>the workshop to be arranged with the organizers for maximum visibility.
