At least half of the world’s population lacks access to essential health services and up to a third will remain underserved by 2030. Autonomous mobile clinics (AMCs) with ‘AI doctor’ functions may be key to reaching universal health coverage, particularly serving the “underserved”, the “hard-to-reach”, and the aging population. Accepted by the World Economic Forum as part of this year’s global health agenda: “How autonomous mobile clinics can help transform healthcare “, this AI for Good session focuses on developing self-driving vehicles as the next generation of healthcare delivery platforms, through which AI doctors and various applications could be configurated in various forms to suit the deployment situation.  

Illustrating this concept, a recent example of an AI doctor application screening monkeypox based on images taken from resource-constrained devices such as low-end mobile phones will be presented. Join this live discussion on how to further develop, open source and standardize AI doctors’ functions. Learn how AI can help scale this pilot in underserved communities through a demand-driven approach and multistakeholder partnerships will help set industry standards and scale up the benefits.

Samuel Myers, a leading figure in the study of the impacts on human health of the accelerating disruptions to Earth’s natural systems, shares the guiding principles and implications of this newly emergent, rapidly growing field, recently dubbed “Planetary Health.” Every dimension of human health and wellbeing is under threat from our ongoing degradation of Earth’s life-support systems. Planetary Health research is providing rigorous evidence that urgently stabilizing our planet’s natural systems is essential if we are going to have any chance of safeguarding a livable future for humanity.

Dr. Myers explains the goals and work of the broad global coalitions around The Planetary Health Alliance (of which he is the founding director) coming together to drive home the inextricable links between human and environmental health and to develop policies and actions to protect our biosphere.

Kevin Patel, a 21-year old LA-based Climate Justice activist extraordinaire who passionately demands that youth be listened to right now, not marginalized as “leaders of tomorrow," recounts his own health challenges growing up in heavily polluted South Central Los Angeles and insists that climate action and ending racial and class disparities have to be inseparably linked in our movements.

The journey as it is known is the spiritual work Native peoples use to transform painful experiences into meaning and purpose.  It takes courage to show up for one’s life and respect.

Since 1989 the NW Coastal Indians have participated in a Canoe Journey to villages on the ancestral highways of the Salish Sea. The commitment to be a part of this means joining a canoe family that excludes members from alcohol or drug use. This is a spiritual commitment and people who are in recovery are urged to join as it brings healing to themselves, their family, and the tribe.
