Abstract

Public health researchers face significant challenges when it comes to sharing their data with other researchers and leveraging it in classroom settings. Using artificial intelligence (AI), it is possible to generate synthetic datasets that maintain the statistical accuracy and granularity of the original data without compromising patient privacy. Synthetic data also enables researchers to address bias by generating the exact patients needed to answer research questions.
