Contribution types

Extended abstracts

Extended abstracts will describe either methodological or application work that has not been previously presented in a conference. Contributions should consist of up to 2 pages, excluding references and a study context section, and should be prepared based on the template provided below.

Please note that each submission will have to include a Study Context explaining any ethics consideration and approvals, funding, stakeholder involvement (e.g. patients and public), availability of data and methods, conflicts of interest, collaborators, etc. The study context does not count towards the page limit.

Authors will specify their preferred way of presenting their contribution: as an oral presentation, flash/lightning talk, poster or demo. As in previous years, there will be a post-conference open call to submit a journal-length paper for further peer review and publication in Frontiers in Digital Health.

Contributions should consist of up to 4 pages (excluding references and study context) and will be treated separately from the other submissions.
