I-DAIR just launched a new Digital Health and AI Global Research Map (GRM) to increase visibility and understanding of current trends in digital health. The GRM is an interactive tool developed to provide situational awareness of the Digital Health and AI research and development domains. Its main goal is to identify trends and gaps in research and innovation, and foster academic, governmental and private sector collaboration on AI and digital health. The GRM includes a powerful visualization tool that can generate a detailed landscape of research publications and patents for nine regions from 2011 to 2020. This tool also addresses global and national digital health strategies, and offers a new world map of collaboration opportunities. The GRM aims to help countries visualise their present strengths, prioritise future investments, and track the evolutionary impact of their strategies on research and innovation.
The overall vision of the GRM is to provide a global landscape that can serve for the identification of existing international research and development networks, reinforcement of cooperation and collaboration and the nature and scope of exchanges between developed countries and low- and middle-income countries. Through this tool, I-DAIR also aims to support the identification of best practices, and guide the development of efficient national digital health strategy.
With the GRM, we want to underline the potential of different countries in producing their own research and development. We hope that this map will encourage the establishment of regional joint research capacity, and help identify major actors, trends and important investigational subjects at the regional and national level. This tool could also help donors, agencies and digital health actors explore specific areas for investment and development.
