Workshop on AI in Maternal and Child Health (AI4MCH)

From the venue:

The inaugural workshop on AI for Maternal and Child Health will be jointly hosted by Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University, with the goal of bringing together academics and practitioners globally from computing and AI, public and global health, medicine, social sciences, policy, and more.

We are currently at a critical inflection point in maternal and child health. Health outcomes globally have slowed in the last decade and Georgia, in particular, still has one of the highest rates of maternal and child mortality in the United States. The surge of data availability in this space and developments in AI research present opportunities, as well as new challenges, for accelerating progress in this space. Atlanta is uniquely situated to pioneer efforts in this area with its highly diverse patient and provider population, vibrant academic ecosystem for health and computing research with Emory University, Georgia Tech, Morehouse, policy-oriented institutions such as the CDC and the Carter Center, and rich history of community-based organizations for reproductive health.

The event will be co-hosted by the School of Computational Science and Engineering at Georgia Tech, and the Departments of Biomedical Informatics and Global Health at Emory University.

Event Goals:

Bring together AI researchers, public health experts, and healthcare practitioners

Develop a cohesive strategy for addressing maternal health challenges in the United States and internationally

Create bridges between academic institutions, particularly leveraging Atlanta's unique ecosystem

Highlight promising research directions that combine AI and public health approaches

Foster a vibrant Georgia-based community that leverages the region’s exceptional strengths in AI, public health, and healthcare
