Introduction

Generative AI (GenAI) emerged as a strong tool that can revolutionize healthcare and medicine. Yet the public trust in using GenAI for health is not well established due to its potential vulnerabilities and insufficient compliance with health policies. The workshop aims to gather machine learning researchers and healthcare/medicine experts from both academia and industry to explore the transformative potential of GenAI for health. We will delve into the trustworthiness risks and mitigation of cutting-edge GenAI technologies applicable in health applications, such as Large Language Models, and multi-modality large models. By fostering multidisciplinary communication with experts in government policies, this workshop seeks to advance the integration of GenAI in healthcare, ensuring safe, effective, ethical, and policy-compliant deployment to enhance patient outcomes and clinical research.

Call for Submission

Workshop Scope

We invite paper submissions that have not been published, falling in but not limited to the following topics.

Topic 1: GenAI use cases

For example, surveys of GenAI in healthcare, methodologies of using GenAI for data synthesis, simulation (e.g., digital twins), preliminary study, improving diagnosis accuracy, treatment assistance, and digital therapies.

Topic 2: Trustworthiness and risks

For example, novel benchmarks of GenAI safety in specific or general health use cases, potential misuse, safeguarding techniques, reliability, and ethical disparities.

Topic 3: Policy and compliance

For example, reviews of the latest policies in the association of AI and health, evaluation of the compliance of current GenAI applications, and pipelines to coordinate policymakers, GenAI developers, and security experts.

Papers will be submitted in three tracks: demonstration papers for the GenAI health applications, research papers for the policy-compliant GenAI trustworthiness in health or methodology of using GenAI for health, and position papers discussing policies and solutions for technical compliance. We encourage authors to involve multidisciplinary experts, especially the health community (e.g., stakeholders) and policymakers in writing the papers, which ensures the developed methods can address emerging stakeholders' and policymakers' concerns. Accepted papers will be non-archival and presented on the workshop website.

Submission Guidelines

Camera-ready
For the camera-ready version, please compile it with the [final] option. For example:\usepackage[final]{neurips_2024}. Please replace the original neurips_2024.sty file with this one, which has been slightly adapted from the NeurIPS 2024 style for use in the workshop's camera-ready submission.
Submission Tracks
(1) Demo Track: Papers demonstrating critical use cases of AI in health. (2) Position Track: Papers presenting new challenges/trends in safety or policy compliance in the area of GenAI for health. A more detailed definition may refer to the ICML 2024 call for position paper The paper title should include "Position:". (3) Research Track: Papers that present novel methodologies or insights addressing critical challenges in GenAI for healthcare or related safety and policy.
Submission Format
You must format your submission using the NeurIPS 2024 LaTeX style file. Use `\usepackage{neurips_2024}` without options to ensure the submission is anonymous. Submissions that violate the NeurIPS style (e.g., by decreasing margins or font sizes) or page limits may be rejected without further review. Papers may be rejected without consideration of their merits if they fail to meet the submission requirements, as described in this document. All page limit excludes references and appendix. (1) Demo Track: The paper title should include "Demo:". No longer than 5 pages. (2) Position Track: The paper title should include "Position:". No longer than 5 pages. (3) Research Track: No longer than 9 pages.
Submission Link
Papers should be submitted at the Openreview Website
Review Process
All papers will be double-blinded and peer-reviewed by at least 3 reviewers. All submissions must be anonymized and may not contain any identifying information that may violate the double-blind reviewing policy. This policy applies to any supplementary or linked material as well, including code. If you are including links to any external material, it is your responsibility to guarantee anonymous browsing. Please do not include acknowledgements at submission time. If you need to cite one of your own papers, you should do so with adequate anonymization to preserve double-blind reviewing. For instance, write “In the previous work of Smith et al. [1]…” rather than “In our previous work [1]...”). If you need to cite one of your own papers that is in submission to NeurIPS and not available as a non-anonymous preprint, then include a copy of the cited anonymized submission in the supplementary material and write “Anonymous et al. [1] concurrently show...”). Any papers found to be violating this policy will be rejected.
Presentation
All accepted papers will be presented with posters. High-quality papers will also have the opportunity for oral/spotlight presentations and win Best Paper Award(s) per track. All accepted papers are expected to be presented in person.

The accepted papers will be non-archival (NOT included in proceedings or any form of publication).
Awards
The organizing committee will select best paper award(s).
