Max capacity in person: 30

This event aims to foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing between different stakeholders interested or working in the field of AI research and global health, with a specific focus on bridging knowledge and healthcare gaps between the "Global North" and the "Global South". It will promote cross-sectoral collaboration by exploring the intersection of disparities e. g. gender, poverty, climate change, education, health system strengthening, data analysis, decision support and other relevant fields. Moreover, the event discusses the role of AI in addressing health challenges and fostering equitable collaborations. It looks to promote the participation and inclusion of the perspectives of people using the technology and their respective cultural contexts, to create sustainable healthcare interventions that are relevant, accessible and acceptable in deployment settings.
