E.g. examining how air pollution affects hospital admissions, how an ageing population impacts certain diseases, etc.

Topic 2: Developing Mobile Apps to Collect Health Data

• Design mobile apps for innovative ways to collect health-related data. E.g. monitoring mental fatigue based on eye movements, using augmented reality to guide and analyse posture, etc.

Topic 3: Using AI to Detect Health Misinformation on Social Media

• Employ AI technologies to identify and combat health misinformation spread on social media platforms. E.g., examining misinformation related to skincare routines, weight loss strategies, disease transmission, etc.

Topic 4: Using AI and big data analysis for Enhanced Dietary Insights

• Utilize AI technologies to study global dietary patterns and formulate personalized recommendations. E.g. providing recommendations focus on the food groups for longevity, or better sports performance, etc.

Topic 5: Other relevant topic related to AI and big data in healthcare
