Important Announcement: ICIMTH 2020 becomes an E-CONFERENCE (no physical presence is required) due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The modification of the traditional Conference to an E-Conference is due to force majeure of the Covid-19 pandemic to safeguard the participants from travelling.

The quality of the papers will be kept to the same standard as in previous years since the submission and the reviewing process is similar ensuring the objectivity and quality.

In addition, this year we will be introducing the following changes to the benefit of the participants:

• Reduction of registration fees.
• Full papers and posters will be published in the conference proceedings
• Open Access for the first time is introduced in the ICIMTH series of conferences
• The SHTI series of IOS Press (https://www.iospress.nl/bookserie/studies-in-health-technology-and-informatics/) is indexed by MEDLINE/PubMed; Web of Science: Conference Proceedings Citation Index - Science (CPCI-S) and Book Citation Index - Science (BKCI-S); Google Scholar; Scopus; EMCare.

Virtual auditorium will be available to allow full paper presentations, panel discussions, workshops interactions, and the presentations of the distinguished keynote speakers. Posters will be uploaded and will be available during the entire conference period.

It goes without saying that we would prefer to having to organize a traditional conference where the human contact and the cultural experience goes hand in hand; but in these unforeseen circumstances for the entire humanity, it is the best we can offer to keep alive the dissemination of the scientific accomplishments and excellence in an environment that may have as the only advantage the elimination of the cost of travelling and accommodation.
