CallWorkshop WAIH

Workshop on Advanced Interoperability in Health

Call for Contributions

WAIH aims to facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue across fields such as health information standards, large-scale genomics, and enterprise health data systems. With a focus on scalability, semantic alignment, and secure integration, the workshop supports the development of advanced health infrastructures that serve both clinical practice and biomedical research. By addressing the complexity of integrating diverse systems, WAIH contributes to the evolution of health data ecosystems capable of supporting precision medicine and next-generation healthcare delivery.

As healthcare becomes increasingly data-driven, interoperability between clinical and genomic systems remains a critical challenge due to fragmented standards, evolving technologies, and privacy constraints. WAIH responds to these issues by aligning with the core themes of EDOC and CBI (enterprise-level systems, semantic coherence, and secure information flow). The workshop invites participation from researchers, practitioners, and policymakers working on biomedical informatics, enterprise architecture, and data governance. It aims to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange across academia, industry, and regulatory sectors, driving innovation and coherence in health data interoperability.
