The 1st ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Geospatial Computing for Public Health (GeoHealth'25) focuses on research that addresses spatial aspects of health behaviors, outcomes, exposures, systems, and interventions, using techniques from spatial databases, geoinformatics, spatial data mining, machine learning, and modeling. Combined with emerging sources of public health data—from wearable devices and social media to climate sensors and administrative records—this expertise positions the community to make significant contributions to the evolving field of geospatial health informatics.
The workshop seeks high-quality full (8-10 pages) and short (up to 4 pages) papers that will be peer-reviewed. Once accepted, at least one author is required to register for the workshop and the ACM SIGSPATIAL conference, as well as attend the workshop to present the accepted work which will then appear in the ACM Digital Library.
GeoHealth 2025 solicits novel and previously unpublished research on all topics related to geospatial health including, but not limited to: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
