Honoured to join leaders in STEM and healthcare to advance equity, representation and responsible innovation in digital health and AI — ensuring diverse communities are not just included, but shaping the future.
In this presentation, we shared how our projects evolved into co-produced, human-centred digital health research. Now, through learning and applying Python, ML, and predictive modelling at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I’m extending that journey even further.
