The joint 19th AE-CAI, 11th CARE and 7th OR 2.0 workshop will bring together researchers, clinicians, and medical companies that are working on advancing the field of Medical Imaging and Augmented Reality, Augmented Environments for Computer Assisted Interventions (AE-CAI), Computer Assisted and Robotic Endoscopy (CARE) and Context-Aware Operating Theaters (OR 2.0). This workshop will feature high-quality, original papers and invited keynote presentations on the latest scientific, technical and translational advances in developing the next generation of AE-CAI, CARE and OR systems.

PROCEEDINGS
This year we will be doing a special issue in IET Health Technology Letters. **Please note that IET HTL is an open access journal, but we have negotiated a 50% discount. We also provide waivers for those coming from a LMIC. With Wiley Open Access Accounts, APCs may be covered in full or part for affiliated authors publishing in Healthcare Technology Letters. You can find out if your institution or funder will cover your open access APCs by following the link below:
THEMES
We encourage submission of papers that demonstrate clinical relevance, clinical applications and validation studies. We encourage the submission of papers describing bold new ideas, proof of concepts, early-stage prototypes and innovative ways to make such tools more accessible, affordable and environmentally friendly, rather than incremental improvements. Topics to be addressed include:
- Augmented, virtual and mixed reality
- Medical image visualization and understanding
- Surgical simulation and training
- Image-guided and robotic surgery
- HCI considerations in computer-assisted surgery
- Accessible and affordable surgical technologies
- Robotic and navigated endoscopy
- Stereoscopic and ultrasound endoscopy
- Endoscopy skill training and evaluation
- Endoscope tracking, navigation, planning and simulation
- Endoscopic video computing and computer vision for endoscopic applications
- Surgical training and assessment
- Context-Aware Operating Theatres and team communication
- Cognitive models for clinical environment, intervention and training
- Sensors, wearable and implantable electronics
- Decision support networks to enhance surgical procedural assistance
