| Issue/Objective | Our objective is to describe a methodological approach for co-creating a best practices guide that improves dataset quality, ensuring AI solutions are built on robust, reliable information tailored to real-world healthcare challenges. |
|---|---|
| Methodology/Approach | Employing a Design Thinking methodology, we organized participatory workshops with CLIAS-funded project teams. These sessions focused on user empathy, analyzing current dataset creation workflows, and identifying key improvement areas, culminating in the prototyping of a best practices guide. |
| Results | The final product was the Best Practices Guide for Creating Health Datasets, an evolving and publicly accessible document available on the CLIAS website. The guide was developed through participatory workshops with CLIAS-funded project teams, during which current data workflows were analyzed and key areas for improvement were identified. It provides concrete, context-specific recommendations aimed at improving data quality, representativeness, and ethical standards in health datasets. |
| Discussion/Conclusion | The methodology demonstrates that co-creation-grounded in empathy and collaboration-is an effective approach to addressing technical bottlenecks in data quality. This participatory model not only enhances immediate project outcomes but also lays the foundation for scalable, equitable digital health transformations. The guide functions as a living resource, open to community contributions and stakeholder input, and serves as a replicable model for designing context-aware technical solutions across public health settings in Latin America and the Caribbean. |
