HSR.health has developed a geospatial health risk analytics platform with a generative AI conversational, prompt-based user interface that utilizes purpose-built LLMs and patented ML algorithms to predict health outcomes.

The insights provided aid in developing mitigation strategies and allow an efficient and equitable allocation of limited resources to those at the highest risk. This talk will discuss the opportunities and challenges to equitably and successfully leverage AI in advancing global population health.
