ISHIMR 2018 will bring together a multidisciplinary audience of researchers in the general area of e-health, health information management and health informatics, people with clinical responsibilities, care organizations, and businesses that operate in this field. The symposium will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of research and technological innovations. We therefore welcome the submission of full papers (for oral presentation) and research abstracts (for poster presentations). The meeting will also host a doctoral consortium and demo market.
