NextGen Tech and Ai
Explore how latest developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning, with a unique focus on tools like ChatGPT and other Large Language Models, could help increase health equity and further breakdown barriers to critical care and resources.
Application concept: Natural language/conversation application that provides personalized answers and advice to spoken questions about food allergy and solutions AND knows and remembers things about you, your family and your environment. Not a web scrape/search application….this is an information delivery application.
Who does this benefit: People who don’t have the know-how, skill and time to get answers on the internet. This can be particularly useful for the underprivileged, undereducated population

- Education and empowerment through in person and virtual events and workshops
- Engagement, trust building and recruitment through digital and social media

Voice of the Patient
Leveraging publicly available data through social and digital media, as well as commercially available data sources, identify communities of interest, apply artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to gain unique insights into attitudes, opinions, beliefs and behaviors.
By better understanding these populations impacted by food allergies, we can better inform everything from advocacy programs, to treatment options and drug trials, to prevention programs and advocacy efforts.
To best serve and represent impacted communities, we need to better understand them.
