Workshop

Generative AI for Smart Health and Biomedical Informatics

In conjuction with IEEE/ACM CHASE 2026, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.

Overview:

The rapid progress of generative AI is opening new frontiers in smart health and biomedical informatics, enabling powerful capabilities for remote healthcare delivery, real-time sensing and monitoring, predictive analytics, and personalized patient care. At the same time, these advances introduce critical challenges related to model reliability and transparency, security and privacy, fairness and bias, explainability, and ethical deployment in healthcare environments. This workshop aims to bring together researchers, clinicians, and industry practitioners to share recent advances, discuss open research problems, and identify future directions for generative AI in smart and connected health. We invite original research papers, case studies, and position papers that address, but are not limited to, the following themes:

  9. Integration of Generative AI with Internet of Medical Things and Healthcare Infrastructure
  10. Generative AI for Disease Detection, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention
  11. Generative AI for Health Disparities and Equity
  12. Foundation and Generative Models for Transitional Smart Health
  13. Evaluation, Benchmarking, and Stress Testing of Foundation and Generative Models for Healthcare

Submission Guidelines:

We invite submissions that contribute to foundational theory, novel methodologies, and practical applications within the field of Smart Health and Biomedical Informatics. Submissions can take the form of:

  • Research papers should be six pages, including references, figures, and all other content. Submissions must contain original work not previously published or under consideration elsewhere. We encourage papers that introduce novel technological solutions (including early and in-progress work) and vision or position papers that outline emerging challenges and gaps in the field. Accepted research papers will be presented orally and will be included in the workshop proceedings.
  • Extended abstracts are limited to one page, plus references, and may describe early-stage work or work in progress. They will be presented as posters and published on the workshop website.
  • Demo proposals should describe a technology or system and outline how it will be demonstrated at the workshop. They are limited to one page, plus references.
