This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of International Workshops: Polystores and other Systems for Heterogeneous Data, Poly 2018, and Data Management and Analytics for Medicine and Healthcare, DMAH 2018, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in August 2018, held in conjunction with the 44th International Conference on Very Large Data Bases, VLDB 2018. The 11 regular papers presented together with 2 invited papers and 1 abstract of a keynote talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 16 initial submissions. The Poly 2018 Workshop focus on growing a larger and more diverse research agenda around data system solutions for heterogeneous data. The DMAH 2018 Workshop aims to foster exchange of information and discussions on innovative data management and analytics technologies.
