Kelly Gleason introduces a guide, Navigating Digital Health, co-produced with 20 local diverse public partners (aged between 18-78, ethnicity: White, Black & Asian, 60% women and 40% men) to help the public navigate data and artificial intelligence and wider resources. Kelly is Imperial CRUK Lead Nurse and leads the Public Involvement for the CRUK Convergence Centre and the NIHR Imperial BRC Surgery and Cancer Theme. The guide and supporting resources are part-funded by the NIHR Imperial BRC.
What the public need to know about the guide:
- It’s made for the public by the public (with a large and diverse group of public contributors) and supported by experts in the field.
- This is a gentle introduction to data science and AI to allow anyone to begin to learn about this field.
- It can be used by patients or family members to understand more about these issues generally or to contribute to public involvement programmes in research.
- It can help people make informed decisions about accessing new technologies to support their health.
- The guide is supported by various forms of media, including the written word, podcasts and animated videos (see links at the end of this blog). (more…)
