• AI applications in community health: Exploring the various ways AI can be used to address community health challenges, such as disease surveillance, outbreak detection, personalized interventions, and drug discovery.
• Ethical considerations in AI: Discussing the ethical implications of using AI in community health research, including issues of data privacy, bias, and accountability.
• Technical challenges and solutions: Addressing the technical challenges associated with AI implementation, such as data quality, algorithm development, and scalability.
• Case studies and best practices: Sharing successful examples of AI applications in community health research and identifying best practices for implementation.

Participants from higher education institutions will have the opportunity to:

• Learn about the latest advancements in AI and their potential applications in community health research.
• Network with experts in the field and establish collaborations.
• Gain practical insights into the challenges and opportunities of AI implementation.
• Develop ideas for future research projects and initiatives.
• Contribute to the development of ethical guidelines for AI in community health research.

By participating in this workshop, participants will be well-equipped to integrate AI into their own research and contribute to the advancement of public health.
