1st International Workshop on
Health Care Information Systems

co-located with the International Conference on Applied Informatics

October 13 to 17, 2026 Orlando, United States

Abstract

The continuous evolution of Health Care Information Systems (HCIS) represents a critical frontier in modern medicine, fundamentally altering how clinical data is acquired, managed, and interpreted. However, a significant gap remains between the deployment of clinical engineering infrastructure, the physical realities of biomechanics, and the computational abstraction of biological models. As healthcare environments generate increasingly complex datasets, there is a pressing need for frameworks that translate raw clinical data into actionable, mathematically rigorous diagnostic insights with minimal information loss. This workshop is motivated by the necessity to foster interdisciplinary synergy, ensuring that advanced data analysis techniques and biological modeling are seamlessly integrated into robust clinical information architectures.

Submission

We welcome the submission of original papers that have not been published anywhere else. Papers submitted to this workshop need to follow the CEUR-ART style. We highly recommend to typeset your paper in LaTeX. We distinguish between full papers (10-15 pages) and short papers (5-9 pages). All papers have to be written in English. The inclusion of ORCID is highly encouraged for all authors.

All submitted papers are reviewed by at least 2 experts. This workshop undergoes a double-blind peer review process. The initial submission shall consist of a PDF file with all information identifying the authors removed, including any acknowledgment section. Submissions are handled through EasyChair using the URL https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=whcis2026.

Authors of accepted papers need to provide all source files, i.e., either a .docx file for Word users or all LaTeX source files ( .tex , .bib ) as well as any assets (e.g., figures). At least one author of each accepted paper needs to register at the main ICAI conference (see below).

Proceedings will be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication. Authors of accepted papers have to sign the Author Agreement to Publish a Contribution as Open-Access on CEUR-WS.org. CEUR-WS.org requires authors to physically sign with pencil on paper.

Registration

One author of each accepted paper must register to ensure its inclusion in the conference proceedings. Each registration will allow the publication and presentation of just one paper. Authors must pay an extra fee if they wish to publish and present one additional paper.
