Medical Artificial Intelligence is a highly specialized interdisciplinary research field that lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and medicine. Building upon the success of the inaugural The Third IEEE International conference on Medical Artificial Intelligence (MedAI) is scheduled in Wuhan from November 19th to 21th, 2025.

This prestigious event is expected to gather leading experts, researchers, and professionals in the field to exchange knowledge, present cutting-edge advancements, and foster collaborations in the realm of MedAI. Specifically, the aim of this conference is two-fold: (1) to showcase successful applications of AI techniques in solving challenging biomedical problems, and (2) to foster more extensive and deeper interactions and collaborations between medical researchers and practitioners with challenging medical issues and AI researchers who are eager to identify complex real-life problems for their techniques or to start developing novel algorithms to solve challenging medical issues. Such issues may range from molecular-level challenges, such as diagnostic issues, information extraction, analyses, and modeling from massive medical data, to mining electronic medical records, knowledge-based treatment plan recommendation, and further to robotics to conduct complex surgeries.

The conference invites submissions in two categories: regular papers and short papers, which include posters and abstracts. Short papers may present previously published research findings and are limited to a maximum of two pages. All selected submissions for oral presentation—comprising regular papers, posters, and abstracts—will qualify for reduced registration and conference fees, and they will have the opportunity for direct journal review and recommended publication during the conference.

All accepted papers, provided there are no publication conflicts, will be published in the conference proceedings by IEEE. We strongly encourage the presentation of high-quality research that has been previously published in prestigious journals and conferences, as this will be recognized during the event. Authors of short papers may choose not to publish in the proceedings and may instead have their work showcased solely on the conference website.
