International Scientific Symposium DigiHealthDay 2020

13 November 2020, Pfarrkirchen, Germany
DigiHealthDay @DIT-ECRI is going to be a daylong action-packed event targeting primarily academia - from established researchers, to young scientists and students. Following the theme "How are digital technologies transforming health and care around the world", the symposium will explore modern Digital Health and its role in tackling global health problems from a uniquely international perspective, with a special focus on Digital Health Education.

The meeting is supported and endorsed by the local and international partners: International Society for Telemedicine and eHealth (ISfTeH), International Health Informatics Association (IMIA), European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI), German Telemedicine Society (DGTelemed), and Bavarian Telemedicine Alliance (BTA), as well as local and regional authorities.

DigiHealthDay will feature a mix of keynotes by world-renowned speakers, oral and poster scientific presentations, audience-centered panel discussions, student thesis and project presentations, company expo, and of course, networking possibilities.

Additionally, a series of pre-conference DigiHealth Workshops (educational events by local and international experts addressing a range of topics in Digital Health) will be organized at DIT-ECRI in Spring-Summer 2020.

You are invited to contribute by publishing and presenting your research work at the DigiHealthDay 2020. Original full-text scientific papers on different topics related to Digital Health will be peer-reviewed by a panel of experts. Accepted papers will be published in the electronic Journal of the International Society for Telemedicine and eHealth (JISfTeH), as well as in print.

Whether you are curious about the latest advances in Digital Health, looking for inspiration for your business, or simply keen on meeting like-minded professionals from around the world - DigiHealthDay @ DIT-ECRI is just for you.
