Optimal Delivery of Digital Healthcare

Description

This workshop examines the mathematical, statistical, and operational foundations for delivering digital healthcare effectively, equitably, and at scale. While digital health technologies, such as telemedicine, remote monitoring, AI-enabled triage, digital therapeutics, and virtual care platforms, create new opportunities to expand access, their impact depends critically on how they are deployed within healthcare systems. The workshop will focus on questions of patient access, resource allocation, scheduling, capacity management, clinical workflow integration, and heterogeneous treatment effects across populations and settings. Participants will explore how tools from statistics, optimization, causal inference, machine learning, and stochastic modeling can guide the design of delivery policies that improve health outcomes, reduce disparities, and make digital healthcare systems more reliable and sustainable.

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 February 27, 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
