I am the creator and coordinator for the project where the Information Systems (IS) and Nursing faculties at the University of the Western Cape have embarked on an innovative collaboration aimed at addressing pressing health challenges through the use of AI technology. Third-year IS students, alongside Nursing staff, are participating in a series of design thinking workshops to develop AI chatbots tailored to meet user needs. These chatbots, built by IS students, are designed to assist in healthcare concerns such as cancer, diabetes, celiac disease, female reproductive health, and dental health. The collaboration emphasizes user-centred design principles to ensure the effectiveness and usability of the AI prototypes. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, the university is at the forefront of healthcare innovation, bridging the gap between technology and healthcare https://www.uwc.ac.za/news-and-announcements/news/pioneering-ai-powered-healthcare-solutions-uwcs-interdisciplinary-collaboration-tackles-pressing-medical-challenges
