Development of an Ethnic-aware Patient Care Platform Leveraging AI and Data Science

Many healthcare providers lack awareness of cultural preferences and specific needs of minority populations, such as gender preferences in medical consultations. This results in limited access to appropriate medical services, health disparities, and suboptimal patient outcomes. Additionally, legacy systems hinder effective data sharing and insights necessary for personalized care.
