This volume contains the accepted papers of the ICIMTH (International Conference on Informatics, Management, and Technology in Healthcare) for the year 2024, and presents to the community of Biomedical and Health Informatics the scientific outcomes of the ICIMTH 2024 Conference, which was held on 13-15 December 2024 as a virtual event.

The event was characterized as a Anniversary Event to commemorate the meeting of the conference founders, the late Professor Kyriakos Kioulafas and Professor John Mantas, to agree to initiate a conference which was based on knowledge and experience gained from the joint Inter-University Master’s programme on Healthcare Management and Health Informatics organised by the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. The meeting was held in December of 2001, and after a trial period, the first organised conference was held as an international event wishing to exchange ideas and experiences with international colleagues in early July of 2003 on the island of Samos in Greece. This series of conferences after the passing away of Professor Kioulafas in 2011 continued to be held in Athens. So, the 22nd conference commemorates this founding event. The organisers are thankful and grateful to the participants of this virtual event. Of the 160 submissions, 99 full papers and 11 short communications papers were accepted for publication. An invited panel was held to review the events of the last 22 years of the ICIMTH conferences. The panelists were Professor Reinold Haux, former president of IAHSI and IMIA; Professor Kaija Saranto, former president of IAHSI; Professor George Mihalas, former president of EFMI; Professor John Mantas, former president of EFMI; Professor Lacramioara Stoicu-Tivadar, former EFMI president; and Professor Panos Bamidis, HL7 Hellas chair.

It should be noted that the Proceedings titled “Envisioning the Future of Health Informatics and Digital Health” will be published with Open Access and submitted (for evaluation) for indexing by MEDLINE/Pubmed and Scopus. The expected date of publication is early April 2025.

The fields of Biomedical and Health Informatics and Digital Health are studied in this conference at a very broad perspective, from cells to populations, including several technologies such as Imaging, Sensors, and Biomedical Equipment and Management and Organisational and ethical aspects. Essentially, Data Science, Informatics, and Technology and mainly Artificial Intelligence inspire health professionals and informaticians to improve healthcare for the benefit of patients.

The Editors would like to thank the Members of the Scientific Programme Committee, the Organising Committee, and all Reviewers, who have performed a very professional, thorough, and objective refereeing of the scientific work to achieve a high- quality publishing achievement for a successful scientific event.
