The Second IEEE SERVICES Workshop on Big Data for public health
policy
making
In conjunction with the IEEE SERVICES 2020, October 19-23, 2020,
Beijing,
China
https://conferences.computer.org/services/2020/workshops/bigphp2020.html
****************************************************************************

As acknowledged by the World Health Organization, by a number of
governmental institutions, and patient associations, the effective
management of health-related problems depends on and requires
appropriate
public health policies. A public health policy may have a
significant effect
on the prevention and early diagnosis and early treatment of
several diffuse
and debilitating conditions including, for instance, cognitive
decline. On
the other hand, health policies can be also focused to target
personalized
medicine and home healthcare, exploiting the knowledge obtained
from the
collectivity tuning it for a specific situation.
The management of such health problems and their consequences
through public
health policies can benefit from the analysis of heterogeneous
data (e.g.,
collected from modern IoT sensors as well as from standard
clinical trials).
Big Data Analytic techniques enable the investigation of specific
health
problems, their possible relations to other comorbidities and
contextual
factors, and patterns of such relations.
The workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry
presenting novel
research on all theoretical and practical aspects concerning the
adoption of
Big Data Analytics in the context of evidence-based public health
policy
making. The workshop targets innovative techniques and solutions
for
supporting policy makers and clinicians in: i) taking decisions
based on
evidence and on ii) simulating scenarios aimed at predicting
evolutions of
health diseases at epidemiological level. It also aims to
investigate
security and privacy concerns related to the analysis of health
data and the
possible impact that security and privacy measures may produce on
the
achievable quality of analyses and the effectiveness of health
policies. The
workshop aims also to investigate: i) the modelling and adoption
of advanced
Artificial Intelligence models for policy making based on
simulations and
open data and ii) the possible trade-off between the design and
implementation of health policies that may require years to
produce their
expected results and solutions able to rapidly produce tangible
results.
The workshop will bring together researchers of different
disciplines,
policy makers and clinicians, from academia and industry, all
sharing a
common goal: to go beyond the frontier of today's public health
policy
making process by envisioning how to exploit the full potential of
Big Data
Analytics in ways compliant with the principles and needs of
modern
societies, like satisfying security and privacy requirements.
Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to:
- Data driven public health policy making models
- Model based Big data solutions for health-related policy making
- Decision support systems for clinicals and policy making
- Innovative Big Data as a service architecture for health
- Security aspects of Big Data analytics threating sensible data
- Privacy aware Big Data models and analytics in health scenarios
- AI models for health-related policy making
- Mixing simulations and open data for health policies predictions
- Advanced reaction-oriented policy models for health
- IOT sensing capabilities for health
- IOT sensing and policies for personalized medicine
