Hannah van Kolfschooten Appointed as Member of WHO/Europe’s Technical Advisory Group on Artificial Intelligence for Health (TAG-AI)

Our visiting researcher Hannah van Kolfschooten has been appointed as a member of the inaugural Technical Advisory Group on Artificial Intelligence for Health (TAG-AI) convened by the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Europe. The WHO — the world’s leading authority in global health — plays a central role in ensuring that digital health innovation serves the public good. Through the TAG-AI, WHO will guide governments and stakeholders in 53 European countries to harness AI in ways that strengthen health systems, protect human rights, and advance equity. This includes making sure that AI supports universal health coverage and does not exacerbate existing health inequalities. 

Van Kolfschooten will bring her expertise in patients’ rights protection and AI to help set the strategic priorities for WHO’s work on digital transformation and AI in health. This appointment highlights Van Kolfschooten’s recognition as a leading voice in the field, contributing directly to the world’s most important health organization at the highest advisory level.
