IEEE MedAI 2023 : The First IEEE International Conference on Medical Artificial Intelligence

CALL FOR PAPERS - MedAI 2023
===================================================================
The First International Conference on Medical Artificial Intelligence (MedAI 2023)
November 18-19, 2023
Beijing, China
http://www.cloud-conf.net/medai/2023/
===================================================================

We are pleased to announce the launch of a new international conference series, Medical Artificial Intelligence or MedAI, dedicated to the interdisciplinary research field at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and medicine. The aim of this conference is two-fold: (1) to showcase successful applications of AI techniques in solving challenging biomedical problems, and (2) to foster more extensive and deeper interactions and collaborations between medical researchers and practitioners with challenging medical issues and AI researchers who are eager to identify complex real-life problems for their techniques or to start developing novel algorithms to solve challenging medical issues. Such issues may range from molecular-level challenges, such as diagnostic issues, information extraction, analyses, and modeling from massive medical data, to mining electronic medical records, knowledge-based treatment plan recommendation, and further to robotics to conduct complex surgeries.

We invite original contributions on innovative AI theories and methodologies for medicine, AI-inspired biomedical technologies, and complex biomedical issues that can benefit from AI techniques or may pose new challenges to AI. The interested topics include any crossing between a medicine & healthcare area and an AI area below, but are not limited to the table of related areas.
