WHO Releases Toolkit for AI Assessment in Public Health

The World Health Organization (WHO), IDB and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) released version 2.0 of its "Artificial Intelligence in Public Health Readiness Assessment Toolkit," highlighting how countries can gauge their preparedness to implement AI projects into their public health strategies. The toolkit aims to help countries understand how to integrate AI into their health systems by providing a framework for analyzing various aspects of their infrastructure, data management, public engagement, evaluation, implementation, workforce and funding. The 62-page report consists of 10 sections, which include questions for countries to assess their readiness to implement AI and considerations and guiding principles for successful implementation.
