In this episode of Global Health Unpacked, host Dr. Gvantsa Khizanishvili speaks with Dr. Julie Gralow from the American Society of Clinical Oncology about how artificial intelligence can advance equity in global cancer education, research, and care.
They explore how AI can help democratize expertise, bridge specialist gaps, translate guidelines in real time, support frontline healthcare workers, and empower patients through multilingual tools and chatbots. The discussion also covers AI’s role in improving clinical trial matching, reducing data bias with real-world evidence, accelerating drug discovery, and expanding access to diagnostics and radiation planning — particularly in low- and middle-income settings.
Importantly, the conversation addresses ethical considerations, data privacy, infrastructure challenges, and the need to keep the patient voice at the center of AI innovation.
