Overview

Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers transformative potential for biomedical informatics, improving diagnostics, personalizing treatment, and accelerating research. Yet real-world deployment faces challenges such as algorithmic bias, data interoperability, ethical concerns, and scalability constraints; risks that may widen health disparities if unaddressed. This three‑hour participatory workshop uses the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to surface practical strategies from both high‑resource and LMIC contexts, culminating in a co-created, generalizable framework for equitable AI implementation.

Participatory format: Attendees actively contribute to breakout discussions and the synthesis of a practical implementation framework.

Educational Objectives

Program & Schedule

Program runs from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM.

8:30 – 9:20 · Panel Presentations

Short, insight‑dense talks (10 minutes each) from experts mapping real deployments to CFIR domains: intervention, outer/inner settings, individuals, and process. Talks highlight what worked, what failed, and the evidence behind each approach.

Each panel presentation will last approximately 10 minutes.

9:20 – 9:50 · Poster Session & Walk

Guided walk‑through of accepted posters featuring implementation studies and case reports from HIC and LMIC contexts. Authors get rapid feedback; attendees collect concrete tactics and contacts for future collaboration.

9:50 – 10:40 · Breakout Groups

Participants join small groups, each focused on a CFIR domain. Moderators guide structured discussion to identify barriers, facilitators, and actionable strategies for AI deployment across settings (HIC & LMIC). Groups capture concise bullets for plenary.

10:40 – 11:30 · Report Out & Synthesis

All groups reconvene to share findings. We compare strategies across domains and co‑create a generalizable framework for equitable AI deployment. The synthesis will be shared publicly.

Breakout prompts by CFIR domain
  • Intervention Characteristics: Adaptability, complexity, evidence strength, bias mitigation.
  • Outer Setting: Regulatory environment, market dynamics, equity considerations.
  • Inner Setting: Infrastructure readiness, leadership, workflows, communication.
  • Individuals: Skills, beliefs, training, multi‑disciplinary collaboration.
  • Process: Planning, execution, monitoring, iterative improvement and scale‑up.
