Call for Posters and Demonstrations

The Health Sciences Innovation Network (HSIN) invites students, faculty, and regional partners to submit posters and demonstrations for the 2026 New Hampshire Health Sciences Innovation Network Workshop (NH-HSINW 2026).

NH-HSINW 2026 is a regional, collaborative workshop focused on connecting healthcare challenges with technology-enabled solutions and building pathways for student-centered experiential learning. The event will bring together healthcare organizations, public health professionals, industry partners, and academic institutions across New Hampshire to identify real-world problems and develop applied student research and summer project opportunities.

Rather than a traditional academic conference, the workshop is designed as a co-design and innovation forum where participants share practical work, pilot ideas, datasets, and prototypes that can evolve into collaborative student projects and regional partnerships.

We welcome submissions from:

• Undergraduate and graduate students
• Faculty mentors
• Clinical or public health professionals
• Industry and startup partners
• Interdisciplinary student teams
• Prior publication is not required. Work-in-progress, pilot studies, and project concepts are strongly encouraged. 

Topics of Interest

Submissions should relate broadly to the intersection of health sciences and technology, including (but not limited to):

• Digital Health & Public Health Informatics (e.g., Disease surveillance and prediction, Population health analytics, Health data visualization and dashboards, Clinical decision support tools, Community health technology, Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) & Cybersecurity, Medical device security, Healthcare network protection, Privacy-preserving health data systems, Risk assessment and vulnerability analysis, Secure remote monitoring technologies) 
• AI, Data Science, and Health Analytics (e.g., Machine learning in healthcare, Predictive modeling for clinical outcomes, Wearable sensor data analysis, Signal processing and biosensing, Responsible and explainable AI in medicine)
• Behavioral, Community, and Implementation Science (e.g., Health communication and public engagement, Technology adoption in clinical settings, Patient adherence and behavior-informed design, Human-centered health technologies, Translational and Applied Projects, Prototype development, Capstone and course-based projects, Industry-identified technical problems, Data cleaning, integration, or exploratory studies)
• Pilot projects suitable for student summer researchWe especially encourage submissions that address real stakeholder problems, involve interdisciplinary collaboration, or could serve as a future student internship or summer research project.

Submission Guidelines: Please submit a 300–400-word abstract including:

• Title
• Authors and affiliations
