Our colleague Paul Nderitu is among speakers presenting this Wednesday and Thursday at the Forum on Harnessing Artificial Intelligence for Health Equity, being held online and in person in Manila, Philippines. Paul will be sharing progress on the Global RETFound initiative, a collaborative effort to develop the first globally representative AI foundation model in medicine, using 100 million eye images from more than 65 countries spanning all continents except Antarctica. Paul is a medical retina fellow at Moorfields Eye Hospital, London and research fellow with Pearse Keane's artificial medical intelligence lab at UCL Institute of Ophthalmology. Hosted by Asian Development Bank (ADB) and World Health Organization Western Pacific Region, the forum brings together health leaders, policymakers, researchers, and innovators to explore how AI can strengthen health systems and improve lives across the region.
