GeoHealth’26 will serve as an interdisciplinary forum for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers working at the nexus of geospatial computing and public health. The workshop welcomes contributions that address spatial and spatiotemporal aspects of health behaviors, outcomes, exposures, systems, and interventions using methods from spatial databases, GIScience, geoinformatics, spatial data mining, machine learning, and computational modeling. We particularly encourage submissions that introduce novel geospatial methodologies, leverage emerging or nontraditional data sources, or present innovative applications with clear implications for public health policy and practice.
Both full papers (8–10 pages) and short papers (4 pages) are welcome, provided they have not been previously published and are not under concurrent review. All accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for and attend the workshop in person.
GeoHealth 2026 solicits novel and previously unpublished research on all topics related to geospatial health including, but not limited to:
- Geospatial Analytics for Infectious Disease Surveillance
- Environmental Exposure Mapping (e.g., air quality, water, toxins)
- Modeling Health Impacts of Climate Change
- GIS for Health Equity and Access
- Spatial Decision Support Systems for Health Resource Allocation
- Urban Health and Built Environment Analysis
- Chronic Disease Mapping and Risk Factor Modeling
- Human Mobility and Public Health Interventions
- Integration of Remote Sensing and Health Data
- Real-time Outbreak Detection and Monitoring
- Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI) in Health
- Privacy-aware Health Data Integration
- Social Determinants of Health and Spatial Inequality
- Data Fusion from Wearables, EHRs, and Census Data
- Health Communication via Spatial Dashboards and Visualizations
- Spatial Epidemiology and Spatiotemporal Modeling

Manuscripts should be submitted in PDF format and formatted using the ACM camera-ready templates available at https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. For latex users, please make sure that you choose sigconf type (e.g., \documentclass[sigconf]{acmart}) in your latex file. Submissions to GeoHealth are single-blind – i.e., the names and affiliations of the authors should be listed in the submitted version.
