Welcome from the Chair

Dear Colleagues,

It is with great enthusiasm that we announce the 2nd International Electronic Conference on Healthcare (IECH2022). The conference is organized by the MDPI open access journal Healthcare (Impact Factor 2.645) and will be held online from 17 February to 03 March 2022.

Healthcare is the maintenance or improvement of health. An efficient healthcare system can contribute to a significant part of a country's economy, development, and industrialization. This conference will provide leading scientists working in the field with an online platform on which to share their latest research and engage in exciting discussions. The main topics and sessions of the conference are:

  • Artificial Intelligence: Prof. Tin-Chih Toly Chen (live-streaming on 17 February 2022);
  • COVID-19 Update (Diagnostics and Vaccines): Prof. Roberto Verna (live-streaming on 03 March 2022);
  • Regenerative Medicine: Dr. David Harris (live-streaming on 22 February 2022)
  • Sport Performance: Dr. Alyx Taylor (live-streaming on 23 February 2022).

This online event will bring together researchers from all over the world with no concerns of travel or other related expenditures. Participation and “attendance” to the IECH2022 are free of charge.

The conference invites submissions for abstracts that will be reviewed by the conference chair and committee. The authors of accepted contributions will be invited to submit a conference paper along with a slide or poster presentation of their work. All participants will have the opportunity to examine, explore, and critically engage with research findings published in Sciforum during the conference.

Moreover, during the conference, a number of internationally renowned speakers will share their current state-of-the-art research, through a series of pre-recorded talks and free live-streaming sessions, which will also include a Q&A session to allow audience participation.

The accepted proceedings papers from the conference will most likely be published in a dedicated issue of the MDPI journal Medical Sciences Forum. Please note that before publication, Proceedings Series Journals will review accepted papers using the powerful text comparison tool: iThenticate. This procedure aims to prevent scholarly and professional plagiarism. Articles with a high repetition rate and lack of novelty will not be published in the conference proceedings. In addition, all participants will be encouraged to submit an extended full manuscript to Healthcare with a 20% discount on the Article Processing Charges (APC).

We hope that you will join this e-conference to exchange ideas, start fruitful collaborations, and make this conference edition a success.

Kind regards,
Prof. Dr. Roberto Verna
Chair of the 2nd International Electronic Conference on Healthcare
