SHDH 2026 was successfully held in Shanghai on August 15, 2026. This event gathered scholars, researchers and industry practitioners from China, Russia, India and other regions, building an international academic platform for exchanging cutting‑edge achievements in smart healthcare and digital health.

A series of high‑level keynote speeches were delivered during the conference. Prof. Bin Liu from Dalian University of Technology shared his research on “Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment Based on Intelligent Graphic and Image Processing”. Prof. Jianqi Sun from Shanghai Jiao Tong University presented “Image‑guided Multimodal Tumor Therapy System Innovations and Clinical Applications”. Prof. Tao Liu from Zhejiang University talked about “Wearable Gait Analysis and its Applications to Rehabilitation Systems”. After the group photo and coffee break, the online keynote speech was given by Prof. Ram Bilas Pachori from Indian Institute of Technology Indore, India, whose topic was “Machine Learning‑Driven Signal Processing Systems for the Diagnosis of Brain and Heart Diseases”.

Subsequently, the oral presentation session featured diverse and inspiring research reports spanning multiple hot‑topic domains within smart healthcare and digital health. Presentations covered multimodal deep‑learning‑assisted pulmonary lesion differential diagnosis, lightweight detection frameworks for acne lesions, multimodal digital‑twin platforms supporting personalized and AI‑empowered clinical decision‑making, biomechanical analysis of implant‑bone interface stress distribution, AI‑enabled tumor therapy relying on ultrasound‑targeted microbubble delivery, population‑based cohort research exploring links between inflammatory indexes, depressive symptoms and cancer‑related mortality, elderly mental‑health influencing factor analysis from the digital‑divide perspective, as well as multimodal fusion strategies of electrocardiogram and echocardiogram data for early heart‑failure identification. Presenters offline and online showcased their latest original research outputs, triggering constructive academic exchanges and thought‑provoking discussions among all participants.

SHDH 2026 promoted cross‑regional and interdisciplinary communication covering medical imaging, wearable rehabilitation equipment, artificial‑intelligence‑assisted clinical diagnosis, digital patient platforms, geriatric mental health and other hot‑button fields. The conference enhanced academic connections among global researchers and provided new insights for the future development of smart healthcare and digital health.
