The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the application of artificial intelligence and soft computing methodologies to:

 • Knowledge Management of Health Data;
 • Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery in Healthcare;
 • Machine and Deep learning approaches for Health Data;
 • Decision Support Systems for Healthcare and wellbeing;
 • Optimization for healthcare problems;
 • Regression and forecasting for medical and/or biomedical signals;
 • Health Care Information Systems;
 • Wellness Information Systems;
 • Medical Signal and Image Processing and Techniques;
 • Medical Expert Systems;
