The topic of this paper is one that is particularly important to me, and something that I believe deserves greater attention in the ongoing conversations around AI in healthcare.

Chi Chi is a 2023 Scholar, currently studying a Bachelor of Philosophy (Science).

Chi Chi’s very first, first-author paper was recently published in the International World Wide Web Conference (ACM WWW 2025), where she presented her work at the TIME 2025 workshop.

Excerpt from Abstract:

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) hold great promise to transform healthcare in resource-limited settings (RLS). However, due to challenges such as shortages in healthcare professionals, data scarcity, and inadequate regulatory frameworks, RLS are left especially vulnerable to AI’s potential risks and ethical violations. Thus, despite rising expectations, substantial gaps remain in our understanding of how to responsibly integrate AI into the healthcare systems of RLS. In response, this review critically examines AI healthcare applications in RLS, with the intention of promoting ethical, transparent, and secure principles for future implementations.
