Public Lecture: Transforming Healthcare Access with AI and Digital Health

Explore how digital health and artificial intelligence can address key challenges including access across distributed populations, workforce shortages, and health system fragmentation. Drawing on case studies from experience in Australia and the United States, Associate Professor Kayley Lyons will highlight how tools such as telehealth, clinical decision support, and generative AI-enabled clinical notes can strengthen health systems. The lecture will also consider the role of public health leadership in ensuring these innovations are implemented ethically and effectively, and how graduate study can prepare future leaders in this rapidly evolving field.
