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
Submissions
Submitted papers must be solely the work of the author(s), must
not have been previously published elsewhere, and must not be
under consideration for publication elsewhere. We strongly
encourage interdisciplinary work involving end-users, health
professionals, care providers and/or clinicians. We also encourage
sharing of research tools and reproducible data as supplementary
materials.
Four types of main track submissions:
(1) Full Research Papers: These papers describe original research
contributions to the field of digital health. A research paper
should clearly describe the problem, the state of the art with
respect to the problem, the proposed solution and the validation
and evaluation of the solution. (8 pages)
(2) Work-In-Progress: We also call for short research papers,
which are intended to report WIP and early stage projects without
complete validation and evaluation. (3 pages)
(3) Health Professional Track: Health professionals are invited to
submit their experiences. This submission follows the format of
Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusions. (3
pages)
(4) Industrial Track: We invite technology- and product -focused
submissions by the digital health technology industry. (2 pages)
All contributions will be subject to a rigorous peer-review
process, with an emphasis on originality, practicality and overall
quality. Every paper will be reviewed by at least three committee
members.
In addition to the four tracks, we will also organize the
following sessions.
Posters and Demos: DHAASS will accept submission of Poster or Demo
proposals, describing research results or ongoing research
projects. Posters and Demos will be displayed/showcased in a
dedicated area at the conference, and presented in the
Posters/Demos session. (1 page)
Tutorials: DHAASS will host half-day or full-day sessions toward
the digital health literacy. We welcome healthcare
specialists/technologists, who are eager to share their
expertise/know-hows with participants from other disciplines
and/or students, to submit tutorial proposals. (1 page)
Panel Proposals: DHAASS will provide multiple opportunities for
exchanging and discussing ideas with renowned experts from the
digital health academia and practice. We call for proposals for
panels on digital health related topics. (1 page)
Digi-Healthon: DHAASS will provide students and others with a
design sprint-like event to address given digital health problems
and present their solution ideas/prototypes for competition.
During this two-day event, the participants are expected to
deliver innovative but useful software/hardware for digital health
practitioners. The specific problem and design constraints will be
set by the track chair at the beginning of the competition and the
winners will get prizes. This submission follows the format of 1)
Team name, 2) Team members (maximum of 5) with their short bios
and 3) Motivation to partipate. It is higly recommended that the
team members’ backgrounds are diverse (e.g., computing, medicine,
nursing, etc.). (1 page)
