The 2025 International Workshop on Health Informatics Education (HI-Edu 2025)
in Conjunction with the 13th IEEE International Conference on Healthcare
Informatics ICHI 2025
June 18-21, 2025, Rende, Italy
Overview
Advancements in biotechnologies and health information technology have ushered in a new era of generating and collecting digital health-related data. The widespread adoption of electronic health record (EHR) systems, smart devices, and social media has produced enormous amounts of data. To harness the wealth of information within this data, there is an imminent demand for a well-trained cadre of Health Informatics (HI) professionals and researchers, who can effectively manage, explore, analyze, and interpret healthcare data for health care services. To meet this need, many new HI education programs have emerged in the last decade. Here health informatics is a broadly defined term, which may cover fields such as medical informatics, data science, health information management, public health informatics, dental informatics, nursing informatics, pathology informatics, and health care administration, to name just a few.
Researchers and educators have also devoted significant time and efforts in identifying the most effective approaches for providing high-quality HI education to equip HI graduates with the skills and knowledge needed to successfully overcome the challenges they face in their careers. However, as an interdisciplinary field, HI education exhibits various patterns and practices worldwide with various challenges. Moreover, the vast volume of health data presents unprecedented opportunities and challenges for training with hands-on experiences with real-world data for solving real-world problems.
To shape the future of health informatics education, the 2025 International
Workshop on Health Informatics Education (HI-Edu 2025) will
provide a unique platform for close interactions
among educators, researchers, students, scholars, and industry professionals
who are interested in HI education. HI-Edu 2025 will be a one-day workshop that
consists of a keynote speech, an invited talk, podium talks, and poster
presentations.
We are calling for full papers (regular and short papers) and abstracts
on novel approaches, work in progress, and original state-of-the-art projects
in HI education activities, HI education program development, HI education research,
tools and resources for HI education, and cases studies.
