Building Safe and Rights-Based Digital Health Ecosystems for Children in the AI age
As digital health tools rapidly expand across low‑ and middle‑income countries, children and adolescents face growing risks—ranging from data misuse to algorithmic bias and online harm. This session brings together experts in digital health, child protection, digital governance, ethical AI, and child participation to explore how we can design digital health systems that protect, empower, and include the youngest users.
Through dynamic dialogue and real‑world examples, the panel will unpack what rights‑aligned digital governance looks like, how safeguarding‑by‑design can be embedded into digital health ecosystems and why meaningful child participation is essential for responsible innovation.
Core theme: child rights in digital health, safeguarding, governance reform, ethical AI, inclusive design, and child participation
Objective: To explore how countries can design, implement, and govern digital health systems that uphold children’s rights, safeguard them from digital harm, ensure equitable access, and actively include young people in decision‑making.
The session aims to highlight practical pathways for integrating child protection, ethical technology design, and participatory governance into national digital health strategies in low and middle income countries.
