eXplainable Artificial Intelligence for Medical and Healthcare Systems

Special Session

5th Edition of IEEE International Conference on ICT Solutions for e-Health (ICTS4eHealth 2025)
In conjunction with the 30th IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC)

2 - 5 July, 2025 - Bologna, Italy

Scope and topics

eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) components are crucial in an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system in the medical field, as physicians and practitioners cannot blindly trust the output of an AI model. Thus, there is a need to integrate explanation modules in order to justify the choices made by a model so as to provide medical workers with transparent systems that can explain the processes that led the AI model to provide a certain output. The aim of this special session is to give researchers the opportunity to present and discuss their work on XAI for medical and healthcare applications, or to provide insights and issues for future research directions.

The topics of interest for this special session include (but are not limited to):

Explainability of Machine Learning Models
Interpretability of Deep Learning Models
Fuzzy Logic Systems
Neuro-symbolic AI
eXplainable Artificial Intelligence for Medical Systems
XAI in Computer Vision for Healthcare Systems
XAI for Natural Language Processing Systems
Issues and Challenges in XAI for Medical and Healthcare System

Submission Guidelines

Manuscripts should describe original work and should be no more than 7 pages in the IEEE double-column proceedings format, including tables, figures and references.

In order to download manuscript templates for IEEE conference proceedings use the following link: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html

Note that accepted papers up to 6 pages will be published with no additional charge. Exceeding pages will be charged an additional fee. Papers exceeding 7 pages will not be accepted.

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register to the conference and present the paper. Only registered and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings of ISCC 2025, of which ICTS4eHealth conference is a co-located event, and will be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore. The ICTSeHealth and ISCC proceedings have been indexed in the past by ISI, DBLP and Scopus.
