<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The AIME 2022 conference (https://aime22.aimedicine.info) invites all interested researchers to submit original contributions regarding the development of theory, methods, systems, and applications of Artificial
Intelligence in biomedicine, including the application of AI approaches in biomedical informatics, healthcare organisation and molecular medicine. The AIME 2022 conference will be hosted **in person** by Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada from June 14-17
2022. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Contributions to theory and methods should present or analyze novel AI theories or methodologies for solving problems in the biomedical field. They may propose new theories and methods or extensions of existing
ones. In both cases, the work should demonstrate its utility for solving biomedical problems and highlight its contribution to the underlying theoretical basis. In addition, it should discuss assumptions, limitations and novelty with respect to the state of
the art.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Contributions addressing systems and applications should describe the development, implementation or evaluation of innovative, AI-based tools and systems in the biomedical application domain. These papers
should both link the work to underlying theory, and either analyze the potential benefits to solve biomedical problems or present empirical evidence of benefits in clinical practice.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
