国产吃瓜黑料一区二区CRS academic staff and Director of the JBI-Affiliated Group at the Center for Health Research and Movement Science Prof. Valentin C. Dones III, Ph.D., received an award, presented research, and led discussions at the 2024 Global Evidence Summit held from September 10 to 13, 2024, in Prague, Czech Republic.
The summit’s theme, “Using Evidence to Improve Lives,” resonated with Dones鈥� extensive work in evidence-based practice and research synthesis. He was honored with the highly regarded 鈥淪pecial Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases: Low- and Middle-Income Countries鈥� stipend, recognizing his active role in global health research. This award enabled him to lead a workshop titled “Systematic Review Meets Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Review Technique,” where he provided valuable insights into leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance the efficiency of systematic review methodologies.
The Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases is a global collaborative initiative, supported by the United Nations Children鈥檚 Fund, the United Nations Development Programme, the World Bank, and the World Health Organization, aimed at combating diseases affecting impoverished populations.
During the summit, Dones also chaired sessions on critical topics such as collaborative efforts in evidence-based policy and practice, and methodological advancements in research.
Dones presented two major studies: one examining the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy versus conservative pain management in individuals with chronic lower back pain, and another exploring the use of foot orthoses in patients with flat feet.
In addition, Dones contributed as a debater in a plenary session, successfully advocating that artificial intelligence should not fully replace human involvement in evidence synthesis.
