Papers detailing a specific practical approach on how IT can help improve healthcare in the long term are especially encouraged. It is important that they describe specific health IT methods, tools and technology and how these are put to use. The deadline for submissions is 21 February 2023.

Subsequently, a panel of experts from business and industry will select the best papers. Entrants must present themselves and their paper in a short video. The three best entries in the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree category respectively will each receive a Newcomer Award at DMEA23.
