Scope

​

This multidisciplinary conference adopts a broad, integrative perspective by convening professionals from diverse health-related fields - such as medicine, dentistry, nursing, kinesiology, and other allied health disciplines - together with experts in transversal areas like public and community health, education in the health sciences, health innovation, gender-based approaches to care and research, and emerging digital technologies. It encompasses all activity sectors where Information Technologies and Systems intersect with health, driving forward an inclusive and equitable digital transformation of health systems.

​

General objectives

​

• Foster a collaborative environment that brings together academic institutions, healthcare professionals, educators, innovators, entrepreneurs, and investors to advance health-related innovation, research, and quality of care.

• Promote dialogue and engagement between the scientific community and leading national and international health science and technology institutions, ensuring that research outcomes inform policy-making and public health strategies.

• Facilitate the digital transformation of healthcare practices and systems, enhancing patient outcomes, clinical efficiency, and data-driven decision-making through cutting-edge technologies and evidence-based approaches.

• Encourage the integrated development of various scientific and health disciplines—spanning education, biomedical research, public health, and emerging digital health solutions—to improve citizens’ quality of life and overall societal well-being.

• Inspire and support early-career researchers, including those from Latin countries, to disseminate their work and contribute to global health knowledge, fostering an environment where new doctoral candidates and future leaders in the field can emerge.

• Present and debate research results, case studies, policy briefs, and innovation projects from diverse groups in medicine, public health, nursing, dentistry, information technologies, and related areas, paving the way for interdisciplinary breakthroughs.

Submission and Decision

​

Articles submitted in English (up to a 10-page limit) must comply with the book of the LNNS book series format (see Instructions for Authors at Springer Website / Word Template​). 

​

Submitted papers must not have been published before, not be under review for any other conference or publication and not include any information leading to the authors’ identification. Therefore, the authors’ names, affiliations and bibliographic references should not be included in the version for evaluation by the Scientific Committee. This information should only be included in the camera-ready version, saved in Word or Latex format and also in PDF format.

Only articles submitted in English (Springer) must be accompanied by the Consent to Publish form Volume 1 (paper ID <= 70) /  Consent to Publish form Volume 2 (paper ID > 70) filled out (Signed with the handwritten digital signature), in a ZIP file, and uploaded to the conference management system.

​

All papers will be subjected to a “double-blind review” by at least two members of the Scientific Committee.

Based on Scientific Committee evaluation, a paper can be rejected or accepted by the Conference Chairs. In the latter case, it can be accepted as the type originally submitted or as another type.

The authors of accepted papers will have 15 minutes to present their work in a Conference Work Session; approximately 5 minutes of discussion will follow each presentation.

​​

The authors of accepted poster papers must also build and print a poster to be exhibited during the Conference.

This poster must follow an A1 or A2 vertical format. The Conference can include Work Sessions where these posters are presented and orally discussed, with a 7 minute limit per poster.

​

The authors of the best-selected papers will be invited to extend them for publication in international journals indexed by ISI/SCI and SCOPUS, among others.
