Innovation Proposal: Project S.A.R.A.H. (Self-Aware Reactive Artificially Intelligent Helper)

Project S.A.R.A.H., or Smart AI Resource Assistant for Health, is a groundbreaking initiative by the World Health Organization (WHO). The project aims to deliver accessible, reliable, and actionable health information in eight languages.

This collaborative effort between governments, academic institutions, and private entities, such as Amazon Web Services, Google, George Washington University, and the government of Qatar, covers a wide range of topics, including tobacco cessation, mental health, healthy lifestyles, alcohol consumption, and healthy nutrition.

The project scans millions of WHO documents to provide concise and accurate summary answers, making it an invaluable resource for policymakers, administrators, world-officials, and the general public.

The impact of Project S.A.R.A.H. is significant. Over 85% of respondents in user surveys found the project helpful in answering their health queries, as measured through downloads of manuals, visits to the Sarah landing page, and user surveys.

When sharing republished articles from our website, it's essential to set the canonical link to the original URL or implement appropriate canonical tags. Social media tags are also encouraged. For questions or concerns, contact our website at the provided email address.

Ads can be placed on pages with republished articles, but not ads specifically sold against the articles. The republished article must preserve links, including the newsletter sign-up language and link, and an analytics tag.

Responsibilities and restrictions include not selling, licensing, or syndicating the material, not actively publishing or submitting the work for syndication to third-party platforms, and not using the work to populate a website designed to improve search engine rankings or gain revenue from network-based advertisements.

The guidelines for republishing articles from our website are adapted from ProPublica's "Steal Our Stories" guidelines, Undark, and KFF Health News. Republishing is permitted within 90 days of posting, as long as the article includes the author's byline, the original our website URL, and the required acknowledgments.

Translations of articles require permission from our website. Any website on which the republished article appears must include a prominent and effective way to contact the editorial team at the publication. The republished article can use the original headline and deck or create new ones, but must not edit the story significantly except for changes in time, style, or location.

All services provided by Sarah are free of charge. The long-term goal is to potentially license Project S.A.R.A.H. to public health organizations worldwide for adaptation to their own purposes.

However, the project faces challenges in securing funding, expanding language capabilities, and combating misinformation and disinformation. Despite these challenges, Project S.A.R.A.H. continues to make strides in providing accessible and reliable health information to a global audience.
