IDENTIFYING GRAND CHALLENGES
---------------------------------------
After 15 years of VAHC workshops at both IEEE VIS and American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA), several special journal issues, the founding of a formal VIS Working Group within the AMIA, and a substantial collection of papers, VAHC has helped lead the way toward advancing the use of visualization and VA within health domains. Yet, over the same time period, many forces have emerged to transform the health informatics ecosystem: a worldwide pandemic, the proliferation of mobile devices and sensors, the emergence of AI, and the rise of large population electronic health data resources, to name a few. At VAHC 2025, we will include a Grand Challenges session where we will work to integrate the expertise of present and past authors, panelists, audience, and committees to shape a common set of grand challenges for this field, in this era. To support this, we introduce a separate track for short position papers. We aim to collaboratively publish a Grand Challenges article using workshop outcomes to help guide future research.
