AIM (the French Association for Medical Informatics) is organizing Medinfo 2019 and is happy to welcome you in Lyon on August 26-30, 2019. At each Medinfo conference, participants have the opportunity to share knowledge in an international context in order to improve health and the well-being of interconnected citizens everywhere in the world! So, come to discover, discuss, and share your opinion and experience about this year’s topic: “Health and Wellbeing: E-Networks for all”. Hosting Medinfo 2019 is an honor for France, the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, and the City of Lyon. You will discover numerous emblematic e-health projects implemented in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. This is the French “Silicon Valley” with one of the largest digital entrepreneurship ecosystems of Europe. Lyon, Grenoble, Saint-Etienne, and Clermont-Ferrand account for tens of thousands jobs in health and biotechnologies with over 100 public laboratories and over 10,000 researchers in this sector. In addition, Lyon covers many attractive aspects. Known as the city of lights, a territory for many innovations, and the founding ground for the movie theatre, it is also the first connected city, the largest IT center in France, and last but not least, the city is worldwide known for its exquisite cuisine. We will be happy to welcome you in order to make Medinfo 2019 an outstanding event and a success to match the expectations and promises of digital health, key actors, and patients. We hope to see you all in Lyon on August 26-30, 2019! Philippe CINQUIN |
Under the overall theme of “Health and Wellbeing: E-Networks for All” the MedInfo Conference will build on a long tradition of sharing pioneering research and insights for leveraging information to improve human health.

We look forward to receiving your submissions and seeing you in Lyon! Dr. Christoph Lehmann |
Branded by the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA), Medinfo is a worldwide key event in digital health that gathers scientists, physicians, teachers, students, companies, institutions, and decision-makers. After having hosted its previous editions in Brazil and China, in 2019, Medinfo is back to Europe. For the first time, the event will be held in France, in Lyon, also called the “French Tech metropolis”. The city is located in the heart of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, which also happens to be a major player in health technologies.
As the President of the International Medical Informatics Association, it is my great pleasure to invite you to submit your best work for presentation at the MedInfo 2019 – the foremost International conference for the science and practice of biomedical informatics. The MedInfo 2019 Conference, to be held in beautiful Lyon, France, August 26-30, 2019, invites submissions from informatics researchers and practitioners around the world.
