Description and Objectives
Health data covers a broad range of data influencing people's health, e.g. their monitoring, analysis, and prediction. In general, it includes several types of data such as environmental data, individual data gathered, for example, via fitness trackers and especially clinical data. These data are often distributed over several data storages, and they are collected from many concurrent health care processes.
The routine clinical data are considered precious, and their secondary use is considered beneficial for policymakers, public health officers, scientists, clinicians, citizens and industry. Different initiatives, including European Health Data Network and Clinical Trial Data initiative, initiated by the European Commission and the EFPIA (European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations), are searching for better solutions for utilising citizens' health data. However, due to the semantic heterogeneity and the distributed storage of health data, we still do not have a unified approach and use divide-and-conquer approaches instead. Facilitating big-data analytics depends on optimized data sharing and data reuse, which are still lacking despite different interoperability standards in the medical domain.
HEDA 2022 aims to bring together academics, practitioners and other interested attendees for presentations, and discussions in the domain of health with special focus on health data modelling, health processes description and analytics. The aim is to create a broader community to explore the potential for open secondary use and analytics of citizens' health data and develop and evaluate the solutions to make it happen. We emphasise here the central role of citizens, as data holders, whose privacy, active consent and control must be ensured when processing the health data in a global context.
HEDA 2022 invites paper submission, including position and work-in-progress papers, about unpublished research covering all aspects of health data modelling, interoperability and analytics.

Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- Full papers describing new results, page limit 10 to 14 pages
- Posters (short papers) describing ongoing projects page limit 6 to 8 pages
Papers should be submitted in electronic form (PDF) using the CEUR style (see https://ceurws.wordpress.com/2020/03/31/ceurws-publishes-ceurart-paper-style/)
Submissions should include title, authors' addresses, E-mail addresses, keywords and an abstract. For your submission in PDF format please use the online conference management system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=heda22
Just create a new account and then upload your paper. (Later you will be able to see your reviews there.)
The papers will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the PC. Accepted contributions will be included in the workshop proceedings, which will be available at the workshop and published by CEUR workshop proceedingss online.
Some of the best papers from the workshop will be invited for publication in a volume of the journal sub line of Lecture Notes in Computer Science entitled Transactions on Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency (ToPNoC). The papers are expected to be thoroughly revised and they will go through a totally new round of reviewing as is standard practice for journal papers.
