About IREHI
The International Rural and Elderly Health Informatics Conference (IREHI) purses the objective to bring together, on one site, researchers in computational life science, healthcare professionals, industries, public and community health agencies and agencies committed to improve and transform healthcare in rural areas and for the elderly. IREHI Conference would further enable direct exchanges between researchers and stakeholders from industrialized and developing countries, on health care issues in rural areas and for the elderly people.
IREHI aims at helping to share implementation initiatives conducted in both developed and developing countries, particularly in sub-Saharan African countries, and discuss the conditions of success and constraints, and best approaches for transposing these experiences. It further envisions promoting the implementation of national ICT policy frameworks for the healthcare systems and, thus, contributing to the achievement of UHC objectives. It would encourage to purposely produce white-papers.
It will furthermore help to discuss the interoperability of high-performance tools, conditions and modalities for transferring technical resources at an affordable cost to developing countries in multi-sectorial integration strategy (health – education – agriculture – environment), in order to address specific challenges rural and elderly healthcare are facing.

Doctoral Symposium @ IREHI 2018
The Doctoral Symposium collocated with the International Rural and Elderly Health Informatics Conference (IREHI 2018) will take place on December 4th 2018 at University of Abomey-Calavi in Benin (West-Africa). The proceedings of the Doctoral Symposium will be published by IEEE Xplore. The IREHI 2018 Doctoral Symposium aims at building a worldwide community of doctoral students working on health informatics, especially in rural and elderly health informatics. It will provide the opportunity to present and discuss their research in an international atmosphere and will promote interactions among students and researchers from academia and industry. Selected PhD students from developed and developing countries working in all fields of Health informatics will present their work and receive constructive feedback from a panel of experts from academia and industry. Experienced researchers in health informatics will provide advice to PhD students on various aspects of completing a PhD and carrying out a successful research. Who should participate Students at all stages (at the beginning, at the middle and at the end of their PhD) who are working on a research area or a thesis topic relevant to Health Informatics are encouraged to participate in the Doctoral Symposium. Submission Instructions We are seeking the following types of contributions:
- Short paper (up to 4 pages for technical contents and 1 page for references) related to their ongoing research (authored by student only, include advisor in the acknowledgements); and
- Demos about results obtained in scope of their ongoing research.
Your research paper should contain the following items: 1) a title for your work; 2) an abstract (maximum 200 words); 3) a main description of your research work that covers the technical problem to be solved and related works; 4) the proposed approach with research methodology and work accomplished till date; and 5) Expected contributions of your dissertation research and time plan. All submissions must be original work, and must not have been previously published, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Submissions will be reviewed in a single-blind manner. The documents should be submitted through the conference submission system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=irehi18) selecting the Doctoral symposium track.
