MIT and IBM Research are co-hosting the 2nd NorthEast Computational Health Summit (NECHS) focused on the latest developments and applications of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare. The goal of the summit is to foster communication and collaboration among clinicians, medical informaticists, and computational researchers in the northeast.
The summit will feature invited keynotes as well as submitted papers and posters on various aspects of computational health including deep learning, observational studies, predictive modelling, translational informatics, patient engagement, health behavior and digital health. The summit will conclude with an interactive panel following by a networking session.
Submission Guidelines
We invite submissions of abstracts describing all aspects of research relating to design and implementation of AI solutions in healthcare. This encompasses relevant tasks in data mining, data analytics, data science, natural language processing and machine learning as well as explanatory models. The primary emphasis is on advances in the science and application of AI in healthcare.
Submitted abstracts will go through a peer review process and will be selected for either podium or poster presentations by the review committee. Some poster presentations will also be selected for a short oral spotlight presentation prior to the poster session.
Submissions are limited to a total of 1 page, including all content and references.
While we are seeking to showcase new work, our summit does allow submission of papers that are under review or have been recently published in a conference or a journal.
