========================================================
The submission deadline for the 11th International Workshop on Mental
Health and Well-being, to be held at UbiComp/ISWC 2026 in Shanghai, China
(October 11 or 12, 2026, TBD), *has been extended to July 5 (AoE)*.

Workshop website: https://ubicomp-mental-health.github.io

This year's theme is *Navigating Opportunities and Risks in the Age of AI*,
and we invite submissions exploring the opportunities and risks that AI
brings to ubiquitous computing for mental health and well-being. We also
welcome work that looks beyond current AI paradigms to shape the next
generation of UbiComp systems for mental health. Early-stage and
work-in-progress submissions are welcome.

*List of Topics*:
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to (in alphabetical order):

   - Clinical validation, real-world deployment, and scalable
   implementation of AI-integrated UbiComp interventions
   - Datasets, community benchmarks, and evaluation standards across
   diverse populations and clinical contexts
   - Foundation models and AI-integrated UbiComp pipelines for mental
   health and well-being support (e.g., inference, emotional support, clinical
   decision-making)
   - Longitudinal personalization and context-aware adaptation in UbiComp
   mental health systems
   - Long-term integration and sustainable adoption of UbiComp mental
   health technologies in healthcare systems
   - Multimodal and longitudinal sensing data collection, integration, and
   quality for AI-driven mental health contexts
   - Novel sensing modalities and hardware innovations beyond conventional
   smartphone and wearable platforms
   - Responsible and trustworthy UbiComp mental health systems
   (transparency, interpretability, fairness, and accountability)

*Submission Guidelines*: Submissions may be up to 6 pages, including
figures and references; shorter submissions (e.g., 3 pages) are also
welcome. Papers should follow the UbiComp/ISWC 2026 proceedings format through
the Precision Conference System (PCS
<https://new.precisionconference.com/submissions>). All submissions will be
reviewed and judged on originality, technical correctness, relevance, and
quality of presentation. We explicitly invite preliminary results and works
in progress.

At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference
and the workshop. Accepted papers will appear in the UbiComp/ISWC Adjunct
Proceedings and the ACM Digital Library. Authors will be invited to present
their work in person at our fully in-person workshop in Shanghai.

*I**mportant Dates *(all in AoE):

   - Paper submission: June 25, 2026 (AoE) *July 5, 2026 (AoE)*
   - Decision to authors: July 5, 2026 *J**uly 17, 2026 *
   - Camera-ready: July 15, 2026 *July 28, 2026*
