The 6th International Workshop on Health Recommender Systems

Published: 08 October 2024 Publication History

Abstract

Launched in 2016, the Health Recommender Systems Workshop (HealthRecSys) rapidly became a central forum for discussing the transformative capabilities of personalized recommender systems within the health and care sectors. Despite the unforeseen pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic and other challenges, the workshop’s influence persisted through its vibrant community and publications. Our aim with the 6th HealthRecSys is to reignite these conversations and provide a forward-thinking platform that revisits the foundational elements that have contributed to the field’s growth. However, the workshop aspires to do more by infusing new perspectives and tackling the most pressing global challenges and technological innovations head-on with contemporary themes such as the impact of global health crises, generative AI models, personalized and self-managed care, and the increasing focus on health equity. HealthRecSys is dedicated to strengthening the network of researchers working on health recommender systems, drawing participants from an array of health and care domains. Through our combined interactive and paper based workshop format, we aim at cultivating a cross-disciplinary community that promotes collaboration among recommender systems specialists, healthcare professionals, ethicists, and policymakers, among others.
