2nd call INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE (AIiH) – Cambridge

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE (AIiH)
8 – 10 September 2025, Jesus College, University of Cambridge, UK
(2nd Call for Papers)
Deadline: 11 April 2025
Submission to AIiH 2025 is now open, with submission deadline the 11th of April 2025. AIiH 2025 is a single track conference with oral and poster presentations and will include 5 keynote presentations and one conference tutorial on LLM. The conference will also feature a plenary session that focuses on responsible AI for Healthcare. This second edition will be hosted in the Jesus College, University of Cambridge.
Authors are invited to submit full-length high-quality papers in both theory and/or application areas that are closely relevant to the conference. Submitted papers will be refereed on their originality, presentation, empirical results, and quality of evaluation. Submissions for special sessions are also welcomed. Special session papers are reviewed in the same way as main sessions (double blind review for full papers and the same page limit) and papers are included in the proceedings for accepted full papers.
Full papers will be published in the Springer LNCS proceedings.
AIiH 2025 also welcomes short abstract submissions to be included as poster or short spot-light presentation at the conference. This is to both enable fast dissemination of promising preliminary findings and encourage attendance by a broader audience of early career researchers (including research students), healthcare professionals, and industrial practitioners. Abstracts will be archived with DOIs.
1. ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
AIiH aims to provide a prominent platform for researchers and practitioners who are devoted to improving healthcare using modern artificial intelligence. We recognise that healthcare applications present complex and sometimes unique challenges across a wide spectrum, from ethics to technical developments, that generic AI methods are often inadequate. By creating this dedicated forum, we encourage discussions and disseminations of efficient and effective AI solutions and technologies for healthcare, and in turn we hope to influence the research, technology adoption, and decision making in healthcare.
The first edition of the conference was held in the beautiful city of Swansea, with delegates from 20 different countries. The papers submitted to AIiH 2024 were thoroughly reviewed by up to four referees per paper and the full papers were published in the Springer LNCS proceedings. The best paper and best poster prizes were selected and awarded at the conference. Two finalists in the best paper category were invited to submit extended version to the Journal of Big Data Mining and Analytics (IF: 7.7). AIiH 2024 also offered 5 bursaries to students in order to encourage wider participation, particularly where financial support was needed. More details about AIiH 2024, including the 9 invited talks and conference proceedings, can be found here: aiih.cc/aiih-2024/

DEVELOPMENT TRACK
 
To encourage open-source release of hardware and software systems, the RoboCup International Symposium has included a development track in recent years. In 2025, the scope of this track includes datasets and benchmarks. We encourage the submission of papers describing open-source hardware and software, tools and frameworks that facilitate development of robotics hardware and software, datasets that enable new robotic capabilities, as well as benchmarks that establish reproducible test beds and performance metrics to advance research. If applicable, contributions to the special track should include evidence of the released system or dataset, and highlight past, ongoing, and/or potential future impacts on the RoboCup community. A review of these contributions will be based on technical merit and benefits to the RoboCup community, and the research topics listed above.
