Multimedia Tools and Applications - Call for Papers: Supporting Medicine and Healthcare with Multimedia Tools [1235]
This special issue hopes to provide an effective platform for discussion related to state of the art problems and solutions connected with relevant medical applications of multimedia.
This topic has become timely due to three main positive events: 1) the presence of innovative and effective multimedia tools and models; 2) the development of new powerful hardware; 3) the comparison of a huge amount of public data sets, also for medical applications, which will allow to test and compare next generation of tools and applications in medicine.
Possible topics could be as follows:
- Active and Healthy Ageing Systems and Data Analytics
- Analytics and Solutions in Public Health
- Big data Analytics in Healthcare
- Bioinformatics
- Biomedical Signal and Image Processing and Computer Vision in Medicine or Healthcare
- Multimedia tools for clinical decision support, clinical research and epidemiology
- Content Analysis of Biomedical Image Data
- Databases and blockchain in Medicine or Healthcare
- e-Health
- Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in Healthcare
- Knowledge Represenation in MEdicine or Healthcare
- m-Health
- Medical education using ICT
- Telemedicine Systems
- Software Systems in Medicine
- Technology Enhanced Medical Education
- Technology in Clinical and Healthcare Services Research
- Web-Based Delivery of Medical Information

Submission Guidelines:
Authors should prepare their manuscript according to the Instructions for Authors available from the Multimedia Tools and Applications website (this opens in a new tab). Authors should submit through the online submission site at https://www.editorialmanager.com/mtap/default.aspx (this opens in a new tab)and select "SI 1235 - Supporting Medicine and Healthcare with Multimedia Tools" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. Submitted papers should present original, unpublished work, relevant to the topics of the track. All submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of relevance, significance of contribution, technical quality, scholarship, and quality of presentation, by at least three independent reviewers. It is the policy of the journal that no submission, or substantially overlapping submission, be published or be under review at another journal or conference at any time during the review process. Please note that the authors of selected papers presented at CBMS 2023 are invited to submit an extended version of their contributions by taking into consideration both the reviewers’ comments on their conference paper, and the feedback received during presentation at the conference. It is worth clarifying that the extended version is expected to contain a substantial scientific contribution, e.g., in the form of new algorithms, experiments or qualitative/quantitative comparisons, and that neither verbatim transfer of large parts of the conference paper nor reproduction of already published figures will be tolerated. The extended versions of CBMS papers will undergo the standard, rigorous journal review process and be accepted only if well-suited to the topic of this special issue and meeting the scientific level of the journal. Final decisions on all papers are made by the Editor in Chief.
