Data4SmartHealth
The mission of Data4SmartHealth (D4SH), since its first edition in 2020, is to promote knowledge and awareness of artificial intelligence-based methodologies and techniques for analyzing medical data and building health informatics applications.
We are already working on the next edition, which will take place in autumn 2026.
In the meantime, you could be interested in having a look to the previous editions:
- 2020 – Launch: Establishing a Health–AI Innovation Hub
The first edition set the foundation for a collaborative ecosystem dedicated to AI in healthcare. It covered explainable AI, rehabilitation technologies, telemonitoring, and early COVID-19 predictive analytics, and it featured a strategic panel on the future of data-driven medicine. - 2021 – Consolidation and Sector Integration
The second edition strengthened cross-sector cooperation, presenting work on wearable technologies, biotech strategies, clinical data interoperability, and pandemic-related studies. Clinicians, public institutions, and local companies took active roles. - 2022 – Capacity Building Through Tutorials
The third edition addressed a critical need: developing methodological competencies among clinicians and ICT professionals. Four extended tutorials covered AI fundamentals, process mining, clinical neuroscience, and digital behavior-change technologies. - 2023 – Integration with SFSCon: Open-Source and Digital Therapeutics
Hosted as a special track at SFSCon 2023, the fourth edition expanded D4SH’s visibility and technical reach. Talks focused on open-source medical software, IoT-based health solutions, medical imaging, and AI-driven digital therapies. - 2024 – Co-Location with AIxIA: Clinician-Driven Innovation
The fifth edition was co-organized with the 23rd International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AIxIA 2024) and the AIxIA Healthcare Workshop (HC@AIxIA). It introduced a new, problem-driven format: clinicians (psychiatry, diabetology, nuclear medicine, orthopaedics) of the South Tyrol Health Authority presented real diagnostic or treatment challenges, which were jointly analyzed by AI experts during structured working sessions. - 2025 – Focus on Nuclear Medicine and Radiomics
The sixth edition was co-organized with the Nuclear Medicine Service of the South Tyrol Health Authority and concentrated on AI applications in nuclear medicine, specifically radiomics, automated image segmentation, and the creation of integrated imaging-clinical datasets.
