Second IEEE Digital Health as a Service Symposium
In conjunction with 2020 IEEE World Congress on Services
Beijing, China, July 8-9, 2020
Please join us in the second IEEE Digital Health as a Service Symposium
(DHAASS) which will be organized within the 2020 IEEE World Congress on
Services (IEEE SERVICES), The Congress will take place July 7-11, 2020,
in Beijing, China (https://conferences.computer.org/services/2020/).
DHAASS, which will be held July 8-9, 2020, aims to bring together
leading researchers, community leaders and visionaries from academia and
industry, end-users, and healthcare professionals, in the area of
digital health to share their research, practical experience, and
visions of the future of sustainable health and social care transformations.
About DHAASS
Looking at the health and integrated care system through services’
spectacles reveal significant opportunities for engaging digital health
to affect an ecosystem shift in which a new health delivery model is
unleashed. Engaging multiple and new roles, including communities and
individual patients in their own integrated healthcare services delivery
is one of the promising opportunities which can be made possible by the
microservices structuring of the health and care system . Broadly
speaking, related discovery, composition and provision of healthcare
services will need to be based on cutting-edge computer technologies and
digital media/data so that quality factors including timing,
granularity, scale, cost-effectiveness, safety, security, privacy, and
precision are integral parts of the healthcare value chain ecosystem.
Digital Health services can include, among many other innovative
methods, preventive and predictive capabilities of machine learning
based data analytics, actionable recommendations based on in-situ
monitoring and assessment of an individual’s real-time physical and
cognitive performance, trade-off analysis between cloud-based versus
edge-based sensory data streaming and data analytics.
Scope
DHAASS will embrace a broad spectrum of issues and concerns, including,
but not limited to, the following topics related to digital health as
services:
• Microservices models and architectures of health and integrated care
services
• Disease/condition-specific provider microservice design (e.g.,
diabetes, obesity, COPD, dementia, post cancer treatment, allergies,
Ear, Nose and Throat Conditions (ENT))
• Patient/user-side microservices design (user needs, social isolation,
assistive living for older adults and individuals with special needs,
emergencies)
• Standardizing provider-side and user-side microservices. FHIR
resources, profiles and extension for digital health as a service
• Microservices-based delivery pathways co-design and provider acceptability
• Informatic, cybernetic and mediatic digital health platforms
supportive of implementing microservices architecture
• Community crowd-sourcing for delivery of health and care microservices
• Microservices crowd-sourcing platforms
• Worker training and selection, reputation management, and micropayments
• Mediation technology for peer group support (peer-sourcing)
• Qualifying and activating user-side microservice requests:
eligibility, fairness, properness, among other qualifications including
irrational service user models (e.g., a dementia patient requesting the
microservice repeatedly and forgetfully)
• mHealth services and applications which include the use of mobile
devices o in collecting community and clinical health data, delivery of
healthcare information to practitioners, researchers and patients,
• for real-time monitoring of patient vital signs and the direct
provision of care (via mobile telemedicine)
• for training and collaboration of health workers.
• Health economics of microservices-oriented care delivery systems o
Scalability issues for adopting digital health as services
• Empirical study on savings in unit and total cost realized by patient
and community engagement

guidance for a wide array of patients. Research community and industry
are now connecting medical care with technology developers, vendors of
wireless and sensing hardware systems, network service providers, and
data management communities.
The symposium encourages research and breakthrough ideas in areas of
smart and connected health such as networking, pervasive computing,
analytics, sensor integration, privacy and security, socio-behavioral
models, and cognitive processes and system and process modeling. The
forum will increase more awareness of the constraints arising from
clinical and medical needs, barriers to change, heterogeneity of data,
semantic mismatch and limitations of current cyber physical systems and
an aging population.
The SCH symposium seeks inter-disciplinary collaborative research that
lead to new fundamental insights; and encourages empirical validation of
new concepts through research prototypes, ranging from specific
components to entire systems. It will open collaborations between
academic, industry, and other organizations to establish better linkages
between fundamental science, medicine and healthcare practice and
technology development, deployment and use.
