Our Mission


We believe health datasets should be curated with inclusivity and diversity in mind. We are developing recommendations to ensure AI healthcare technologies are supported by adequately representative data. The recommendations aim to encourage transparency around ‘who’ is represented in the data, ‘how’ people are represented, and how health data is used.
