Call for papers

Welcome to the 6th Edition of IEEE International Conference on ICT Solutions for e-Health (ICTS4eHealth 2026). E-Health is one of the major research topics that have been attracting cross-disciplinary research groups. The deployment of new emerging ICT technologies for Health, especially based on Cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI), is attracting the interest of many researchers. Following the success of five workshop editions and two years as an International IEEE Conference, we are now proud to announce the third edition of this popular event dedicated to ICT solutions for e-Health. The conference will bring together researchers from academia, industry, government, and medical centers in order to present the state of the art in the emerging area of the use of cloud systems in connected health infrastructure and applications, and the use of IoT and AI techniques in the area of e-Health.

Paper Submission

All paper submissions must be done through EDAS by using the link https://edas.info/N35010.

Submission Guidelines

Manuscripts should describe original work and should be no more than 7 pages in the IEEE double-column proceedings format, including tables, figures and references. Download manuscript templates for IEEE conference proceedings from: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html

Note that accepted papers up to 6 pages will be published with no additional charge. Exceeding pages will be charged an additional fee. Papers exceeding 7 pages will not be accepted.

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register to the conference and present the paper. Only registered and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

In IEEE ICTS4eHealth 2026, as well as in IEEE ISCC 2026, all submissions must be done through EDAS.

Paper Publication

Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings of ISCC 2026, of which ICTS4eHealth conference is a co-located event, and will be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore. The ICTSeHealth and ISCC proceedings have been indexed in the past by ISI, DBLP and Scopus. This makes the ISCC conference one of the publication venues with very high visibility and impact in both Computer and Communications areas.

Best Paper Award

A “Best Paper Award” Certificate will be conferred on the author(s) of a paper presented at the conference, selected by the Chairs based on scientific significance, originality and outstanding technical quality of the paper, as assessed also by the evaluations of the members of the Program Committee.

Special Issue

Authors of selected papers may be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for publication as full journal papers in special issues organized in prestigious indexed journals.
