In this webinar, Professor Ann Forsyth examines aging in place through the lens of the built environment. Moving beyond traditional approaches focused on health maintenance and caregiver supply, she explores how physical environments can support older adults and address the care challenges of an aging population.

This webinar will explore how governance and ethical frameworks can keep pace with innovation, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The discussion will highlight emerging approaches to transparent, inclusive governance and practical strategies to ensure AI supports public health priorities and advances health equity rather than reinforcing existing disparities.

In this presentation, Dr. Rebbeck will offer an exposition of the problems and suggestions to address them. Examples include the development of research and clinical translation by the Men of African Descent and Carcinoma of the Prostate (MADCaP) Network that builds an African knowledge base around factors driving prostate cancer disparities in Africa. Additional initiatives like the African Oncogenetics Network and the STARS Training Program further enhance research capacity by training African scientists, establishing biobanks, supporting mentorship, and ensuring sustainable, high-impact cancer research infrastructure that benefits both African communities and the global scientific community.
