## Resource

Healthcare is about people as much as science. In this episode, we talk with Jude Dzevela Kong , Director of AIMMLab at the University of Toronto and Co-Director of ACADIC, about community-driven approaches to healthcare innovation. Jude explains how involving local communities and patients from problem definition to implementation leads to more effective, inclusive, and sustainable solutions. From empowering local communities to enabling global knowledge exchange, this conversation highlights why scientists must walk alongside communities to ensure healthcare truly leaves no one behind.
