In view of the current situation around COVID-19, the organizers would like to use the chance arising from this crisis and make MedAI 2020 an important forum for the discussion of AI approaches to fight the pandemic.

We therefore invite researchers and users for paper submissions (8 -15 pages) that strengthen the continuing effort to bring AI into medical application, with a specific emphasis on approaches to fight COVID-19. We expect submissions from all areas of Artificial Intelligence in medicine, in particular but not limited to:

• Medical data processing and analysis
• Medical imaging
• Health data mining and modelling
• Computer-Aided Diagnosis
• Precision Medicine
• Medical device control
• Health monitoring
• Clinical decision making
• Medical robotics
• Ambient assisted living
• Telemedicine and e-health
• Faster drug development
• Smart care
• Hospital organization
• Tracing apps
• Big data processing
• Privacy and security issues

Artificial intelligence has undergone enormous developments in recent years and is rapidly finding its way into medicine. AI is becoming relevant for all areas, from prevention to diagnostics and therapy, rehabilitation and care. First clinical applications exist already, but there are still many research questions to be solved for a broad deployment. In view of the COVID 19 pandemic, AI has gained enormous additional importance, as there are a number of promising approaches for combating this worldwide crisis.

This event is organized by EAI.

EAI – European Alliance for Innovation is a non-profit organization and a professional community established in cooperation with the European Commission to empower the global research and innovation, and to promote cooperation between European and International ICT communities.
