This book presents the proceedings of the 17th annual conference on Health Informatics meets Digital Health (dHealth 2023), held in Vienna, Austria, on 16 and 17 May 2023. The conference series provides a platform for researchers and decision makers, health professionals, healthcare providers, and government and industry representatives, giving them a forum in which to present and discuss innovative digital health solutions with the aim of improving the quality and efficiency of healthcare using digital technologies. The d in dHealth stands for a collection of important topics in the area of medical informatics, encompassing concepts such as digitalisation, datafication and data-driven decision making, as well as predictive modelling and “deep” health for better patient outcomes and sustainability in healthcare.

The conference also supports student attendees, providing an opportunity for them to complement their education in the respective tertiary teaching schools and the chance to act as presenters in the student competition. It is crucial in engaging the next generation to become digital-health developers, architects, facilitators, pioneers, innovators, and managers.

The papers give an insight into state-of-the-art aspects of dHealth, including design and evaluation of user interfaces, patient-centred solutions, electronic health/medical/patient records, telemedical approaches and solutions, predictive models, machine learning in healthcare and biomedical data analytics, and the book offers the reader an interdisciplinary overview of current research activities in digital health.
