Designing and Implementing Equitable AI in Real-World Care

You are invited to the Research Grand Rounds of 2026 on “Designing and Implementing Equitable AI in Real-World Care”. 

About the Event 

Artificial intelligence holds promise for transforming clinical care, yet real-world impact depends on equitable design and effective implementation. Using BiliSG©—a smartphone-based screening tool for neonatal jaundice with strong validation performance—as a case study, this session explores how the nature of technology-driven innovation, clinical need, patient perspectives, and organisational support interact to determine implementation success. 

Join Clin Asst Prof Ngeow, Clin Assoc Prof Oh and Prof Sevdalis as they discuss what is scientifically established about implementation success or failure of technology-driven and digital interventions. They will also share lessons from ongoing implementation research to translate AI into the NNJ@Home model, highlighting pathways from evidence to sustainable system change. 

About the Speakers
