Description

What if our smartest health tools still miss the people who need them most? We sit down with AI and digital health scientist Mirielle Gomez to examine how innovation can serve dignity, not just efficiency—and what it takes to build technology that works from Geneva to rural clinics without electricity.Mirielle Gomez’s journey spans continents and roles, from vaccine strategy at Gavi to AI diagnostics at Merck. Together we unpack the real barriers to deployment—uneven infrastructure, overworked staff, and data voids that erase entire communities from the record. We look at consent‑first design, why open data must be truly anonymous, and how representation in civil registration and vital statistics underpins every “fair” algorithm. You’ll hear pragmatic ideas for triage tools that flag urgency in seconds, health education in local languages, and micro‑local models that adapt to context while sharing standards globally.We also push on the hard questions: Who decides which data matters? Can algorithms be biased toward justice if the world is not? Where is the line between breakthrough and overreach when crises demand speed? Mirielle argues for building abuse cases into development, testing for misuse before launch, and preserving community storytelling—especially Indigenous knowledge—alongside dashboards. The goal is health equity by design, so no one’s care depends on their birthplace or bandwidth.If you care about AI in healthcare, data justice, and solutions that actually work on the ground, this conversation offers a clear roadmap and candid guardrails.
