[Infovis] [VAHC 2023 - DL 24/7] Submission Deadline Extension

[Arleo, Alessio]

Dear colleagues,



With the following we would like to inform you that the submission deadline for the 2023 Workshop on Visual Analytics in Healthcare (VAHC 2023) has been moved to July 24th 23:59 AoE! We hope this gives you an extra 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:
