The Workshop Series

In a rapidly evolving world where AI is increasingly embedded in critical sectors, healthcare stands out as one of the domains where Artificial Intelligence can have the greatest scientific, technological, clinical, and societal impact. AI-based solutions are increasingly affecting medical research, clinical practice, healthcare management, public health, and patient-centered care.

The HC@AIxIA workshop provides a forum for exploring the application of Artificial Intelligence to healthcare in its broadest sense. It aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, medical centers, public-health institutions, and related communities, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration between AI researchers, health informaticians, clinicians, biomedical researchers, healthcare professionals, and stakeholders involved in the design, deployment, evaluation, and governance of AI-based healthcare systems.

Healthcare and medicine require complex decision-making processes involving diagnosis, treatment selection, treatment planning, monitoring, prognosis, prevention, and long-term care. Addressing these challenges requires methods from the whole spectrum of AI, including machine learning, knowledge representation and reasoning, planning, natural language processing, probabilistic and causal models, optimization, human-centered AI, and decision-support systems.

At the same time, healthcare is grounded in a rich and evolving body of domain knowledge, including clinical guidelines, medical vocabularies, biomedical ontologies, temporal and spatial patterns, pathophysiological knowledge, molecular and genetic characterizations, and organizational constraints. Such knowledge can play a key role in developing AI systems that are accurate, reliable, explainable, trustworthy, clinically meaningful, and effectively usable in real-world healthcare settings.

After the 2025 joint edition with HYDRA, co-located with ECAI 2025, HC@AIxIA 2026 returns as a focused workshop of the HC@AIxIA series, co-located with the annual AIxIA conference, while preserving the interdisciplinary and methodological breadth developed in previous editions.

Main Conference

HC@AIxIA 2026 is an event in the context of the 24th International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AIxIA 2026). 

Previous Editions and Original Series

The HC@AIxIA workshop is a well-established event that addresses the intersection of artificial intelligence and healthcare, focusing on how AI methods can support complex decision-making in medicine. Healthcare applications demand solutions integrating data-driven approaches with rich domain knowledge, such as pathophysiology, molecular biology, and clinical guidelines. The workshop emphasizes the importance of model-based and knowledge-based AI methods for addressing healthcare challenges, including diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient monitoring.
