A team of researchers reviews an AI-assisted search strategy displayed on a large digital screen. The interface shows grouped search terms connected by Boolean operators (AND/OR), with labels distinguishing AI suggestions from human review, illustrating collaboration between artificial intelligence and human expertise in evidence synthesis.

Books on evidence synthesis, health economics and AI in healthcare sit on a desk alongside charts, a forest plot and a brain scan, while digital icons highlight transparency, fairness, accountability and evidence quality. The title reads: "When AI Assesses AI in Healthcare."

An infographic explaining how evidence-based healthcare and AI can work together, with 'people at the centre' as the guiding idea. It's split into four parts: a diverse group of people talking around a table represents communities and patients being engaged as partners, not just informed. A glowing AI chip surrounded by icons for risk management, accountability, and transparency represents the need for ethical oversight, shown literally by a hand adjusting a dial labeled 'human oversight and accountability.' A cycle of icons—research data, AI-assisted synthesis, decision tools, and policy—shows how evidence keeps improving and updating over time. Finally, a funnel sorts out harmful inputs like misinformation, deepfakes, and half-truths, producing trustworthy outputs like clear, multilingual, and accessible health communication.

Infographic titled “How do we communicate trustworthy information to be used by health care professionals and their patients in daily practice in Belgium?” It shows how Belgian organizations collaborate to generate, synthesize, transfer, and implement evidence-based information. Groups such as JBI Belgium, Cochrane Belgium, Ebprnet, Gezondheid en Wetenschap, and Cebam are featured. A section highlights challenges in using evidence and tailoring information for different literacy levels. A practical example describes how a GP and patient use trustworthy evidence about weight loss. Logos of Cochrane Belgium, JBI Belgium, and Cebam appear at the bottom.

Screenshot of text. The text explains a study on joint infections in children in Western Australia, showing infection rates of about 10 per 100,000 children per year, with higher rates among Indigenous children. It notes that infections usually affected knees, hips, and ankles, with some cases involving bone infection. Arrows label the terms “prevalence,” “sepsis,” and “incidence” to illustrate key epidemiological concepts. A citation for the original research is included at the bottom.
