The session explores new technologies for achieving the 95-95-95 goals. It emphasizes self-care's role to complement healthcare, especially in underserved regions. mHealth tools show promise in improving adherence. Artificial Intelligence (AI) differentiates populations and access for people with HIV. Challenges include the digital divide and equitable implementation of HIV programs.

The session highlights the potential of technology, including mHealth tools, virtual platforms, and wearable devices, to revolutionize HIV care and treatment. These digital solutions offer personalized information, improve access to services, and empower individuals in managing their health. Artificial Intelligence / machine learning (AI/ML) applications are recognized for their ability to analyze vast amounts of data and differentiate population groups based on behaviors and circumstances. By understanding individual needs, AI/ML can contribute to person-centered care and optimize resource allocation. Self-care interventions are a practical approach to enhance health services and reach underserved populations, particularly in resource-limited settings. The participants also acknowledges challenges. It is not clear how to sustain engagement promoting self-awareness of self-care among users. The critical takeaway from the session is the transformative potential of technology and data-driven approaches in advancing HIV prevention and treatment. These innovations can enhance the efficiency, accessibility, and effectiveness of HIV programs, ultimately contributing to achieving universal health coverage and health equity. Addressing the digital divide and adopting patient-centered design and flexible policies are essential to ensure that these advances benefit all individuals and communities affected by HIV.

The session underscores the significance of self-care, technology use and AI/ML to achieve 95-95-95 goals, particularly in resource-limited settings. If used appropriately, mHealth tools and AI applications can enhance individual empowerment and optimize resource allocation. To fully harness the transformative potential of these advancements, we need to address the digital divide, and ensure equitable access to technology-based solutions. Embracing self-care and leveraging technology can play a vital role in advancing HIV programs and achieving universal health coverage, fostering health equity for all affected populations. Patient-centered and flexible policies are also necessary to effectively tailor interventions to individual needs.
