INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE (AIiH)
26 – 28 August 2026, Imperial College London, UK
(2nd Call for Papers)
Deadline: 10 April 2026
Submission to AIiH 2026 is now open, with submission deadline the 10th of April 2026. AIiH 2026 is a single-track conference with oral and poster presentations and will include four keynote presentations and one conference tutorial on translation. This third edition will be hosted in Imperial College London.
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.
AIiH 2026 also features 8 Special Sessions, which covers a wide range of topics that deserve special interests.
Full papers will be published in the Springer LNCS proceedings.
AIiH 2026 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.
In September 2025, we welcomed delegates from 27 different countries to attend this second edition of the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare (AIiH 2025), which is hosted in September 2025 in the Jesus College, University of Cambridge, UK. A total of 83 full-length papers (12 pages plus to 2 pages of references) and 102 short abstracts (up to 5 pages in length) were received by the April deadline. AIiH 2025 continued to adopt the double-blind peer review policy for full-length papers. Each paper received at least 3 reviews, with an average of 3.6 reviews. Abstracts received 2 or 3 expert reviews per submission. A total of 60 full-length papers were selected for publication in the proceedings and 46 abstracts (excluding late-breaking abstracts) are digitally archived online with DOIs. Contributing authors are from 27 countries, which reflects the international nature of the conference. The best paper and best poster prizes were selected and awarded at the conference.
