About
About the Workshop
Medical time series analytics plays a vital role in clinical decision support, early warning, and continuous patient monitoring. The rapid growth of digital health technologies has generated large volumes of heterogeneous physiological and clinical signals, raising challenges in irregular sampling, multimodal integration, scalability, and privacy.
Recently, foundation models, including large language models and multimodal pre-trained models, offer a promising route toward more generalizable and scalable healthcare intelligence. This half-day workshop at IEEE ICDM 2026 brings together researchers, practitioners, and clinicians to discuss recent advances, open challenges, and practical paths for trustworthy medical foundation models.
Call for Papers
Submit Your Research
We invite original research on medical time series analytics, healthcare foundation models, and their clinical applications. Selected papers will be invited for extended submission to a special journal issue.
