Faculty of Medicine and Surgery Assistant Dean Prof. Remedios D. Chan, MD, MHPEd, said in her message that the collaboration of the three academic units aimed to produce groundbreaking research works that push the boundaries of knowledge in hopes of paving the way to real-life solutions to society in the field of health sciences.

“When we combine our diverse perspectives and expertise, we are unlocking new possibilities and accelerating discovery,” Dr. Chan said.

RCHS is the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery’s research arm that envisioned itself as a hub for interdisciplinary, collaborative, and socially relevant research in medical education.

The paper focuses on AI鈥檚 potential to improve patient outcomes and operational efficiency but emphasizes the challenges related to disparities in AI healthcare access. The authors propose that AI-driven healthcare solutions risk exacerbating existing inequalities, benefiting primarily those in urban and high-income areas while leaving marginalized communities behind. Their research suggests an equitable AI implementation framework, drawing from key principles of CST such as human dignity, the common good, and preferential options for the poor. These teachings, rooted in justice, align closely with the ethical concerns surrounding AI and healthcare.

Using the Church鈥檚 commitment to social justice as a guide, Gozum and Flake argue for systemic changes to ensure that AI healthcare technology benefits all communities, particularly the underserved. Their proposal is timely as AI revolutionizes medical fields, from early diagnosis to treatment customization. The authors emphasize that AI must complement healthcare professionals rather than replace them, and call for inclusive healthcare systems that prioritize equitable distribution of AI resources. They also draw attention to the ethical implications of AI algorithm biases, which could disproportionately affect marginalized groups.

This study represents a novel intersection of religion, ethics, and technology, urging both policymakers and healthcare professionals to consider the social impacts of AI and its role in global health equity.

Funded by the Department of Science and Technology鈥檚 Philippine Council for Health Research and Development, the GRACE Hub, whose office was inaugurated on September 16, 2024, is a project led by multi-awarded academic researchers Donald G. Manlapaz, PhD, PTRP (Department of Physical Therapy) and Agnes L. Castillo, PhD, RPh (Department of Pharmacy).

Aiming to contribute to the attainment of UN Sustainable Development Goals on Good Health and Well-being and Quality Education, the project aims to fill the void of a 鈥渉ome鈥� to synergize otherwise disparate ideas and efforts to solve various healthcare issues.

GRACE Hub is an Innovation Hub aiming to 鈥渓ead the advancement of health research and product innovation by promoting and facilitating ideas and concepts to improve the quality of health care for all Filipinos.鈥� As such, it positions itself as the pre-incubation hub of health research products, specifically those currently being supported by the Philippine government through PCHRD. The hub will provide experiential learning for health innovators, who will be trained on having an entrepreneurial mindset, generating creative ideas, and identifying a problem before these are brought to the TomasInno Center for actual incubation of the planned technology.

Operating under the Office of the Vice-Rector for Research and Innovation, the GRACE Hub will initially help innovators from the 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区health sciences programs and the 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区Hospital and conduct training sessions to support innovation. Once capacitated, the trained future innovators will be transferred to the TomasInno Center where the ideas can be incubated for commercialization and rollout to the public.

Future innovators may get in touch with the GRACE Hub through their Facebook Page: .

The COIL on Health Innovation aims to promote, integrate, and enhance the international education experiences of students and faculty through interdisciplinary collaborative online learning activities. Students and faculty participated in asynchronous and synchronous sessions on Design Thinking to identify health problems affecting all countries and generate solutions by creating a health innovation project. The health innovation prototype created by the students with the faculty was presented in the final pitch competition.

Asst. Prof. Ritzmond F. Loa, PhD, RN, International Relations Coordinator of the College of Nursing, initiated the COIL on Health Innovation in collaboration with international partner institutions as part of the “internationalization at home” programs utilizing Enriched Virtual Mode of instruction at the College of Nursing.

Dean Rowena L. Escolar Chua, PhD, RN stated that innovation is crucial in the health sector to advance nursing practice, education, and research. Moreover, she added that the COIL course can enhance the collaborative and communication skills of students needed in the 21st century.

Reflecting on the course, Renne Kristine Banzon, a BS Nursing student, stated that “My experience with COIL has pushed me to be more confident in my communication skills. It has opened my eyes to other cultures unique to mine, and taught me to be a global citizen of peace and change.” 聽
