Welcome to AIiH 2026
We are delighted to invite you to take part in the third International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare (AIiH 2026), which will be held in the Imperial College London from Wednesday 26 August to Friday 28 August 2026. The previous two editions of the AIiH series were successfully held in the beautiful city of Swansea in September 2024 and in the University of Cambridge in September 2025.
AIiH aims to provide a prominent platform for researchers and practitioners who are devoted to improving healthcare using modern artificial intelligence. We recognise that healthcare applications present complex and sometimes unique challenges across a wide spectrum, from ethics to technical developments, that generic AI methods are often inadequate. By creating this dedicated forum, we encourage discussions and disseminations of efficient and effective AI solutions and technologies for healthcare, and in turn we hope to influence the research, technology adoption, and decision making in healthcare.
The conference welcomes submissions of novel research work in the following areas, but not limited to:
- Ethics of AI in Healthcare
- Predictive Analytics in Healthcare
- AI driven proactive care and predictive intervention
- AI driven early diagnosis and prevention
- Machine and deep learning approaches for health data
- AI-aided signal processing
- AI-aided medical imaging (CT, MRI, ultrasound, histopathology, etc.)
- Medical image analysis and processing
- Digital and virtual pathology / neurology
- AI in Pharmacology: drug discovery and drug development
- AI driven Digital Twinning in Oncology/Medicine
- Precision Medicine and AI
- AI for drug screening and discovery
- AI led personalised healthcare
Conference Proceedings
AIiH 2026 continues working with Springer in publishing its conference proceedings. Accepted full-length papers of AIiH 2025 and AIiH 204 are published in Springer LNCS series.
The conference also welcomes submission of short abstracts, which will be archived on zonodo.org (with DOIs) together with previously accepted short abstracts.
Best Paper Special Issue
The winners of the Best Paper Award and the runner-up(s) will be invited to submit extended versions to the journal of Big Data Mining and Analytics (BDMA). BDMA has an impact factor of 6.2 and publishes state-of-the-art big data research and their applications, including healthcare.
This prestigious best paper award is to recognise the outstanding scientific quality of the work presented at the AIiH. The work must show outstanding scientific rigour, major novelty, and comprehensive comparative analysis. It is awarded based on Programme Chairs’ and reviewers’ recommendations. Presentation quality is also taken into consideration. The winners of AIiH 2025 can be found here and those of AIiH 2024 can be found here. The AIiH 2026 special issue is to be available in early 2027.

This special session brings together researchers and clinicians working at the intersection of hyperspectral imaging, computational modelling, and AI for diagnosis, with an emphasis on translational impact and deployment in real clinical settings. CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT MORE
This special session explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionising Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis by addressing challenges such as delayed detection and reliance on subjective assessments. It highlights recent advances in AI-powered tools, including machine learning models for analysing multimodal data (e.g., speech, facial expressions, and neuroimaging), while addressing key considerations like interpretability, ethics, and equitable access. CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT MORE
This special session will showcase state-of-the-art research across the full digital biomarker pipeline: (i) discovery and validation from high-frequency, multimodal time series; (ii) causal inference and counterfactual reasoning to improve interpretability, generalisability, and clinical utility; and (iii) predictive modelling for early detection, prognosis, and treatment response monitoring.
