AI-Powered Resilient Mobile Health: From AI-RAN to Application
In conjuction with IEEE/ACM CHASE 2026, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Call for Papers:
Mobile health is evolving from simple apps to complex, intelligent systems that rely on resilient infrastructure (such as AI-RAN) and advanced sensing. This workshop sits at the intersection of mobile networking, artificial intelligence, and healthcare, aiming to bridge the gap between engineering innovation and clinical reality.
We invite researchers, clinicians, and engineers to submit work that prioritizes substance over hype to solve actual problems for patients and providers. We welcome a broad spectrum of contributions: interdisciplinary systems that integrate networking and ML with clinical practice; real-world deployment experiences detailing pilots and field studies (including negative results and lessons learned); novel ”vision” concepts that propose early-stage paradigms; and work that promotes open science through reproducible datasets and benchmarks. Collaboration with healthcare practitioners is strongly encouraged, and papers that clearly articulate assumptions, limitations, and real-world clinical constraints will be prioritized.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Machine Learning for Mobile Health
- AI-RAN and Mobile Networking for Health
- Wearable and Implantable Sensing
- Privacy, Security, and Trust in Health Data
- Federated Learning for Medical Applications
- HCI for Patients and Clinicians
- Real-Time Clinical Decision Support
- Digital Biomarkers and Phenotyping
- Mental Health Computing and Sensing
- Real-World System Deployments and Pilots
- Explainable AI (XAI) for Healthcare
- Energy-Efficient Sensing and Processing
- Public Health Surveillance
- Algorithmic Bias and Fairness
- Multi-Modal Sensor Fusion
- Contactless and Wireless Monitoring
- Reproducibility, Datasets, and Benchmarks
- Integration with EHR and Clinical Workflows
- Digital Therapeutics
- Negative Results in Health Systems
Submission Format:
Submitted papers should follow the workshop formatting guidelines and adhere to the same formatting requirements as IEEE/ACM CHASE’26 conference papers. Authors may find the official templates helpful in complying with these requirements. For LaTeX users, submissions should be prepared using the ACM acmart document class in sigconf format. Authors are responsible for ensuring that their submissions strictly comply with the formatting rules.
Workshop submissions should be between 4-6 pages including the references and everything, and follow the IEEE conference proceedings format (e.g., double-column layout). Submitted papers must present original work that has not been previously published and is not under review by another workshop, conference, or journal. All submissions will be handled through OpenReview and will undergo a peer-review process. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and published in the proceeding of CHASE’26.
