Genoa, Italy – Researchers from the UK-Vietnam-Indonesia Digital Twin Stroke Care Network (DTStrokeCare) successfully delivered oral presentations at the Medical Informatics Europe (MIE) 2026 Conference, held in Genoa, Italy, from 25–28 May 2026.
The network was represented by Dr. Annisa Ristya Rahmanti, an Early Career Research (ECR) Fellow participating in the British Council TECHLEAD Fellowship Programme, and Ika Agustin Atika Putri, a Master’s student in Health Policy and Management at the Faculty of Medicine, Public Health and Nursing (FK-KMK), Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia. Both researchers presented oral papers showcasing ongoing studies conducted within the DTStrokeCare Network and supported by the StrokeDT grant funded through the British Council’s International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF) Research Collaborations Programme.
Dr. Annisa Ristya Rahmanti presented “Prediction of Early Functional Outcome After Acute Ischemic Stroke Using Real-World Clinical Data in Vietnam and Indonesia: A Retrospective Cohort Study,” which evaluated machine learning models for predicting early stroke outcomes using real-world clinical data from Vietnam and Indonesia. Meanwhile, Ika Agustin Atika Putri presented “Machine Learning Applications within the Earlier Medicine Framework for Stroke: A Scoping Review,” which examined the current applications of machine learning across the stroke care continuum and highlighted opportunities for future research and implementation. The conference proceedings, including both papers, are available here.
MIE 2026 is a well-established international conference that provides opportunities for researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and industry professionals in medical informatics to exchange knowledge and present their latest research and innovations. The conference is organised by the European Federation for Medical Informatics and Pragma Congressi and serves as one of the leading forums for advancing health and biomedical informatics in Europe and beyond (https://mie2026.efmi.org/). Participation at MIE 2026 provided an opportunity to share emerging findings, receive feedback from international experts, and strengthen research collaborations across partner institutions.
The presentations at MIE 2026 mark another important milestone for the DTStrokeCare Network, demonstrating how international collaboration can accelerate the development of innovative, data-driven approaches to improve stroke care and patient outcomes worldwide.
