[Ieee_vis] 12th Workshop on Visual Analytics in Healthcare - DL July 19th 2021

[Arleo, Alessio]

#######  2021 Workshop on Visual Analytics in Healthcare (VAHC 2021) ####

====== CALL FOR PAPERS, POSTERS, AND DEMONSTRATIONS ======
The 2021 Workshop on Visual Analytics in Healthcare (VAHC 2021) is the 12th
annual workshop that provides an opportunity for participants to discuss
state-of-the-art data visualization techniques and review how such
techniques can be applied to healthcare data. The primary objective of the
workshop is to bring together leading scientists, medical experts, and
visionaries to discuss: a) interactive 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
techniques, software applications, and datasets. The workshop will enable
presenters to showcase their ongoing work through oral presentations and
system demos. In years past, demos of prototype and/or production visual
analytics software have been particularly well received, and paper
submitters should also consider submitting a companion demo proposal.

====== 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 a variety of users, including clinical
researchers, epidemiologists, public health analysts, pharmaco-vigilance
experts, physicians, hospital-based quality assurance officers, insurance
claim analysts, and patients.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
• Visualization of public health data
• Design principles of dashboards for public health programs
• Visual analysis and exploration of longitudinal clinical data
• Visual data mining of electronic medical records (EMRs)
• Visualization of drug-drug interactions
• Visual analytics for hospitals and emergency departments (ED)
• Outcome forecasting or prediction
• Visual analytics for patient safety
• Visual analytics in radiology
• Visualization of personal health or patient-generated data
• Improving physician-patient communication with visual analytics
• Visual analytics for medical knowledge discovery
• Human-computer interaction with EHRs
• Rigor and reproducibility
• Evaluation of visual analytics systems
• Visualizations for COVID-19
• Pandemic tracking and forecasting
• Learning from medical crises with visualization
COVID-19 Submissions: The COVID-19 pandemic has inspired a wide variety of
visual approaches for gaining insight into outbreak trends, epidemiological
forecasts, patient characteristics, social media data, and numerous other
related aspects of this global phenomenon. COVID-19 submissions are highly
encouraged. If there is sufficient interest, a special session related to
COVID will be included in the workshop schedule.

====== PAPER SUBMISSION AND FORMAT GUIDELINES ======
VAHC 2021 will have a new paper format! We will accept short papers with
four pages plus one page of references (4+1). In addition, authors are
encouraged to add additional figures to an appendix (A) section at the end
of the manuscript. This allows authors to present more of their interesting
visualization results at greater resolutions, resulting in the paper format
"4+A+1".

This year, VAHC will also have revised paper types! 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: "4+A+1")
• Research papers (format: "4+A+1")
• Position and challenge papers (format: "2 up to 4+A+1")
• System demo papers (format "2 up to 4+A+1" with an online video)

Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Xplore digital library.
Authors of accepted papers and abstracts can choose not to publish their
paper on IEEE Xplore.
Accepted short papers will be included in the VAHC proceedings and made
available via IEEE VIS or digital download.

Demo: Every short paper may be accompanied by an optional video demo
submission.

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