Abstract
How can we build a technological bridge to reach the Good Life? Population health is increasingly influenced by global actors, particularly through the influence of AI developers whose product deployment is not restricted to the context of development. The development of these technologies is inherently political through processes of participation and integration of social values. This workshop is designed to reclaim the idea of everyday agency towards the speculative development of an AI tool for global health communication. It considers whose knowledge is prioritized, what levels of privacy are required, and what systems need to operate for usability. Using brainstorming and wireframe building techniques, the workshop will produce outcomes to deepen the understanding of healthcare needs and delivery within digital contexts. The outcomes of this workshop will be incorporated into an ongoing research project which queries how equitable health literacy could be a technologically deployed in a transnational context. This workshop seeks to be a critical knowledge-making endeavor through the partnership of people rethinking the idea of health and how it is defined in varying contexts. The collaboration across stakeholders will promote a transformative understanding of how health can be understood, and what should be a part of health communication technologies. By building from the ground up this workshop adds to the epistemic justice of better participation with transnational communities with the goal of global health, integrating participant ideologies and priorities. The workshop engages in issues of AI and ethics, social justice, healthcare and health equity through a design practice.
