🌍 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 & 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗖𝗼-𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 🤖💡 This year, we've had the privilege of supporting a client on some fascinating work exploring AI's role in public health, with a focus on the critical need for community engagement in AI adoption. The study described in this paper provides a great example of how engaging community members in a co-design process, which integrates their perspectives and insights, ensures that AI innovations address people’s real-world needs and preferences. 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 #𝟭: For AI to truly enhance health outcomes, it’s essential that communities—especially underrepresented populations like older adults—are directly involved in the development process. Collaborating with computer scientists and public health experts ensures that technology is designed with real human needs in mind. 🤝 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 #𝟮: A co-design approach is a powerful tool for creating human-centered AI solutions. By working alongside older adults, we can create smarter, more accessible systems to support independent living and improve health outcomes for aging populations. 📖 Read the article here: Developing Independent Living Support for Older Adults Using Internet of Things and AI-Based Systems: Co-Design Study https://lnkd.in/eZYhqMJZ 💬 Question for fellow public health professionals: How does your organization ensure community voices are central to your technology initiatives? ………………………………………………………… ✋🏼Hi, I’m Andrea Mantsios, Founder & Principal Consultant of Public Health Innovation & Action (Phia). Phia is a public health consultancy dedicated to using qualitative methods to amplify community voices in health research and programs. 💻Please visit our website phiaconsulting.org to learn more about what we do! #PublicHealth #AI #CoDesign #HealthTech #CommunityEngagement

How can we leverage media and technology to raise awareness of neglected diseases? At the 3rd Global Development and Health Communication Forum hosted by the School of Journalism and Communication of Tsinghua University on October 19, Dr. Sheng Ding, Institute Director of GHDDI, shared valuable insights on global health communication. He emphasized that while media is not the core of GHDDI’s work, it is a crucial channel for raising public awareness of global health issues. "By utilizing specific contexts in our messaging, we can make neglected diseases more relatable and attract greater public interest," Dr. Sheng Ding highlighted. GHDDI also employs generative AI technology to build information platforms that rapidly disseminate global health-related information, enhancing public awareness and engagement. Despite the challenges that come with rapid technological advances, we remain committed to exploring new methods to promote health equity and raise awareness of global health issues.
