Healthcare 4.0

The term “Healthcare 4.0” has been introduced inspired to Industry 4.0, i.e. a well-known industrial concept leveraging personalization and virtualization across different industrial domains. At its core strategy, it empowers industries to evolve from manufacturers to service providers, allowing growing amounts of personalization as a service to client. Similarly, in the health domain, Healthcare 4.0 extends the concept of Industry 4.0 in a scenario where patients and healthcare professionals are strictly correlated with the organization, the methodology and the technology. A patient-oriented system based on data sharing amongst the varied players can lead to improved healthcare delivery.

The innovative challenge for the forthcoming years is to make the hospital organization an integrated center able to provide the patient with a personal care service, involving the patient as an active subject. Several research fields are involved, such as the bioinformatics, the healthcare informatics, the cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things (IoT), the artificial intelligence, the robotics, the cloud computing and the information security, to cite a few. Furthermore, the Healthcare 4.0 is closely linked with precision medicine , which aims at identifying the genetic-, environmental- and lifestyle-based approaches effective for patient therapy.

This workshop aims at bringing together and discussing in the field of Healthcare 4.0, the recent advances in computation methods and applications of bioinformatics, biomedicine and health informatics, with reference to approaches fostering precision medicine.
