🌍✨Community Collaboration in Action!✨🌍
We are thrilled to announce the successful launch of our first Community Advisory Board (CAB) meeting for the AIMIX study!

#AIMIX #CommunityEngagement #AIforGood #InclusiveHealthcare #MaternalHealth #SocioEthics #AIResearch

[AIMIX @AIMIXProject]

Bringing together local voices and perspectives, the CAB will guide our project with invaluable insights on community needs, cultural values, and ethical considerations. Together, we're paving the way for more inclusive and impactful #AI technology in healthcare.

[AIMIX @AIMIXProject]

The team left the session feeling more empowered to apply these insights to their ongoing work, enhancing the depth and rigor of our qualitative research. We are excited to see the impact this will have on our study!

#TeamEmpowerment

We carry out the health talks in collaboration with the hospital's healthcare workers with the common goal to enhance #pregnancy care.

#MaternalHealth

[AIMIX @AIMIXProject]

A fruitful week it was as our facility-based enumerators gave health talks last week to patients at Rabai subcounty hospital, Kenya, as part of the antenatal care (ANC) clinic routine where mothers are educated on the importance of early #ANC visits and #ultrasound scans.

[AIMIX @AIMIXProject]

We are excited for the continued collaboration, support and impact we’re making together!
