Leveraging Generative AI Chatbots in Public Health Communication

This lecture will be delivered by U蓝莓视频 Adjunct Professor and VP of the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit, Dr. Steven Rebellato. This session will explore how Generative AI chatbots, like the one developed for the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit in collaboration with the University of 蓝莓视频, are revolutionizing public health by improving accessibility, efficiency, and service delivery. The lecture will delve into an advanced evaluation framework assessing chatbot performance, consistency, and user experience, while addressing challenges like misinformation, adaptability, privacy and data integrity. Join us to gain valuable insights into the integration of cutting-edge AI technologies in public health and their implications for equity and service improvement.

The Interventional Neuropsychiatry Program at the University of Toronto has three pillars with a focus on novel and emerging treatments in the realms of: A) Pharmacology (e.g., IV ketamine, nitrous oxide, psychedelics); B) Brain stimulation (e.g., rTMS, TI, FES); C) Digital Interventions/Therapeutics. The research program aims to understand mechanisms behind treatment response with an emphasis on digital data capture accompanied by application of AI/analytics. This talk will provide an overview of research paradigms in this emerging domain with a particular emphasis on activities within the Digital Pillar which houses the Digital Interventions & Intelligence Group (DiiG)

Toolkit for Early Career Researchers by Professor Andres De Los Reyes

After years of training and preparation for independent research, early career researchers nonetheless encounter a fair degree of uncertainty in preparation for life after training.

Where should I focus my attention if I want to pursue an academic career? The purpose of this workshop is to demystify several core issues that likely play key roles in the uncertainties you have about life as an academic.
