Brown University and IBM Research are co-hosting the 3rd NorthEast Computational Health Summit (NECHS 2019) focused on the latest developments in Personal and Population Health in the Digital Era
The goal of the summit is to foster communication and collaboration among clinicians, medical informaticists, and computational researchers in the northeastern United States.
Submission Guidelines
Submission is now closed.
We invite submissions of abstracts describing all aspects of research relating to the latest developments in Personal and Population Health in the Digital Era. This encompasses relevant tasks in data mining, data analytics, data science, natural language processing and machine learning as well as explanatory models.
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 should be in IMRaD format - Introduction, Methods Results and Discussion - and are limited to a total of 1 page, including all content and references
For each accepted paper or poster, at least one author must attend the conference and present the paper/poster.
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.
