Embracing technology
For over a decade, our award-winning digital platform SMARThealth has already been empowering frontline community health workers to identify, refer and manage early signs of cardiovascular disease in local communities in India and Indonesia. Over a decade later, our technology is evolving, now using a bespoke large language model chatbot to remove in-built gender bias in guideline-based advice for pregnant women.
In Australia, we’re using machine learning to be able to predict the risk of cardiovascular disease in women using routine screening mammography, which could potentially lead to a low cost “two for one” screening test that may be more accurate than traditional methods.
