Human-Centered AI & NLP: Bridging Research and Real-World Practice

Welcome to the 9th Healthcare Text Analytics Conference, which is held in Brighton from 8 to 10th of June 2026. As in previous years, HealTAC 2026 will bring the academic, clinical, industrial and patient communities together to discuss the current state of the art in processing healthcare free text and share experience, results and challenges.

We invite contributions that address any aspects of processing healthcare narrative and speech, including methodological advances, ethical issues, design and deployment challenges and integration with other healthcare data on large-scale. This year’s topic is "Human-Centered AI & NLP: Bridging Research and Real-World Practice". The call for contributions is available here.

The draft programme will be made available here.
