Is your work a fit? Check before you submit

  1. Confirm that the work addresses health or biomedical informatics.
  2. Choose the submission type, whether paper, poster, panel or workshop, and follow its format.
  3. Check whether the work belongs in an emerging-technology or AI track with a later deadline.
  4. Report evaluation methods and results clearly, and confirm formatting rules on the official MEDINFO page.
  5. Prepare a complete, co-author-approved paper or proposal before 4 December 2026.

Why This Conference Matters

Health systems worldwide are adopting digital records, data platforms and artificial intelligence, and the informatics community plays a central role in making these tools safe, usable and equitable. MEDINFO is the flagship world congress of the field, bringing together researchers, clinicians, technologists and policymakers. Holding it in the Middle East for the first time, in a hybrid format, widens participation and offers authors a broad international audience for evaluations, methods and implementation experience.

Who Should Submit

Academic backgrounds

  • Medical and health informatics
  • Health data science
  • Computer science and artificial intelligence
  • Clinical medicine and nursing informatics
  • Public health informatics

Institutions and sectors

  • Universities and informatics research groups
  • Hospitals and health systems
  • Health technology companies
  • Government health agencies and standards bodies

What Reviewers Typically Value

  1. Rigorous evaluations of informatics tools in real clinical or public health settings.
  2. Methods that improve interoperability, data quality or the reuse of health data.
  3. AI studies that address validation, bias, explainability or integration into workflows.
  4. Implementation lessons that are transferable across health systems and resource settings.

Ideas You Could Develop

Evaluating a clinical decision support alertA before-and-after study measuring how a decision support alert changes prescribing behaviour and clinician workload.
Interoperability in a regional data networkA paper describing the design and evaluation of standards-based data exchange between health facilities.
Fairness audit of a predictive modelA study assessing the performance of a clinical prediction model across demographic subgroups.

  • A citable abstract or proceedings paper.
  • Contacts for collaboration, employment and future funding.
  • A step towards a full journal article.

What happens after you submit

  1. Acknowledgement: the abstract system confirms receipt; keep the submission number.
  2. Review: the scientific committee scores abstracts against the track criteria.
  3. Decision: accepted abstracts are assigned to an oral, poster or e-poster session.
  4. Registration: presenting authors usually must register by a stated date.
  5. Publication: accepted abstracts or papers may appear in the conference proceedings or journal supplement.

What the Organisers Are Looking For

The congress seeks papers, posters, panels and workshops across health and biomedical informatics, with later deadlines for emerging-technology and AI tracks. Strong submissions typically present evaluated work, describe methods and context clearly and explain implications for health care, research or policy. Submission types, track deadlines and formatting requirements should be confirmed on the official MEDINFO 2027 abstracts page.
