The first International Symposium on Digital Health was successfully held in May 2019. Experts, scholars and pioneers from both academia and industry attended the Symposium and shared their expertise and global vision in Digital Health in this 5-day event in Hong Kong.

Welcome.

Digital Health has been steadily gaining attention as a relatively new field for improving public health due to recent technological advancements.  Many healthcare applications and insights have emerged, especially by harvesting the strengths of big data or machine learning.  As such, this symposium strives to promote interdisciplinary research on Digital Health by bringing experts from both healthcare and engineering sectors together to share their innovations on different aspects of the field, including eHealth, mHealth and other emerging areas such as big data and artificial intelligence.
