The ongoing digital revolution, centered on generative artificial intelligence, is reshaping the health communication practices. Along with it, critical questions are emerging for academic research: How can interdisciplinary collaboration address challenges such as data ethics, algorithmic bias, and health equity? How can intelligent tools empower public health literacy? How to reconstruct adaptive knowledge discourse and research paradigm of health communication?  To explore these issues, the 8th International Conference of "Medicine, Humanity and Media" (MHM2025) and its affiliated PhD Symposium will focus on practical transformation and paradigmatic innovation in health communication research.

 

This conference is designed as a slow conference. Following the one-day international conference, a five-day PhD Symposium will feature morning workshops and afternoon panels(paper presentations and discussions). Optional activities include mentor-mentee office hours, company visits, AED training, and etc. Submissions are welcome in two formats: individual papers and panel proposals. See submission guidelines for details.
