Care-model-informed Design of New Technologies

Description

This workshop focuses on the upstream design of new healthcare technologies by grounding innovation in the structure of care delivery. It will bring together researchers in statistics, computer science, operations research, and clinical medicine to study how disease trajectories, treatment pathways, monitoring needs, clinician decision points, patient behavior, and resource constraints should shape technology design. A central theme is that effective healthcare technologies require more than accurate prediction or algorithmic sophistication. They require a good understanding of how care is actually organized: when patients are observed, how decisions are sequenced, where uncertainty enters, how clinicians coordinate across teams, and where bottlenecks or unmet needs arise. The goal is to develop care-model-informed principles for designing new technologies, such as AI decision support, monitoring systems, risk stratification tools, and workflow-integrated interventions, that are clinically meaningful, statistically rigorous, and operationally implementable.

Lightning Talks

This workshop will include lightning talks for early career researchers (including graduate students). In order to propose a lightning talk, you must first register for the workshop and then submit a proposal using the form that will become available on this page after you register. The registration form should not be used to propose a lightning talk.

The deadline for proposing is Sunday March 26, 2028. If your proposal is accepted, you should plan to attend the event in-person.

In-Person Registration

Seats are limited at the venue, which means that in-person registration may be capped prior to the workshop start date. If capacity is reached, a waitlist will be imposed, which the registration form will reflect. Early registration is strongly encouraged.

All in-person registrants must wait to receive an invitation to attend in-person from IMSI before traveling, which generally begin to be sent out 4-6 weeks in advance.

All registrants (online and in-person) will receive zoom links and are welcome to attend online.

Registration Fees

A non-refundable registration fee will be payable by credit card or debit card for any participants invited to attend this workshop in-person. In-person participants agree to pay the non-refundable fee by the deadline given by IMSI. Failure to pay the fee by the deadline may mean that the invitation to attend in-person is revoked.

Current fees:

• $25 for students
• $50 for non-students
