Draft Recommendations

Please note - the final STANDING Together recommendations are now available 

These are the draft recommendations created for the STANDING Togehter public consultation. They are now superceded by the final recommendations available at: http://www.datadiversity.org/recommendations


We need healthcare datasets to represent the diversity of people for artificial intelligence (AI) healthcare technologies to benefit all.



STANDING Together aims to ensure that inclusivity and diversity are considered when developing health datasets.



We have built recommendations, through an international consensus process, which provide guidance on transparency around 'who' is represented in the data, 'how' people are represented, and how data is used when developing AI technologies for healthcare.

By getting the data foundation right, STANDING Together ensures that 'no-one is left behind' as we seek to unlock the benefits of AI in healthcare.
