ATIPAN +

Overview

This project strengthens access to quality healthcare in underserved communities by combining free telehealth consultations, access to essential medicines, and capacity building for community health workers. Through the use of electronic medical records, including patient voice data, the initiative develops digital and AI-enabled solutions that support the early identification and management of neurocognitive conditions such as depression and dementia.

To date, ATIPAN+ has trained more than 30 community-based healthcare coordinators in telehealth patient navigation and delivered nearly 8,000 telehealth consultations across 15 underserved communities. The initiative also contributes to evidence generation, with multiple publications advancing knowledge on digital health implementation and AI governance in low-resource settings.

Building on this foundation, the project is now developing an AI system to track and optimize healthcare resources, using telehealth data and community-driven innovations to improve efficiency, equity, and continuity of care for populations that are often left behind.

Responsible AI Practices

ATIPAN+ enhances healthcare accessibility by using publicly available datasets that are representative of the communities it serves, ensuring AI models are grounded in local contexts, reflect real-world needs, and reduce the risk of bias in diagnosis and decision-making.
