The Symposium on Data Science for Healthcare (DaSH) is a premium forum that
gathers leading researchers, practitioners, policy makers and thought
leaders in
related fields to discuss the latest innovative and visionary ideas, grand
challenges,
and future directions in leveraging big data for healthcare revolution.
DaSH also
provides valuable opportunities for scholars to disseminate their work, and
fosters
collaboration in a multi-disciplinary setting across different sectors for
cross-fertilization.

After two successful events, the third DaSH symposium will be held on

We invite extended abstracts on novel data science approaches to address
healthcare
issues in a broad spectrum, aiming for improving healthcare quality,
reducing cost
and improving accessibility. We encourage both contributions about
system-building
experiences, experimental studies, new applications, as well as visionary
statements.
