Results: China and Portugal were identified as the leading participants in the Conference, while other countries also had an active participation. Evidence was found of a predominance of scientific cooperation, mainly on a national scale, as the favorite organizational mode to generate knowledge. Conclusions: the topic profile of the Conference was confirmed by the co-occurrence of key words. Evidence was found of the incorporation of information and communication technologies into biomedicine for global health.
