Go back through your presentation, the Q&A, and feedback received and come up with a list of TEN takeaways / lessons learned / things to do differently next time.
- Discuss Scale-Up and Business Strategies: Dedicate more time to discussing how to scale the project and potential business strategies for sustainability.
- Clear Topic Introductions: Start each section by clearly stating what you will explain (e.g., “I’m going to explain XYZ…”), which will help guide the audience through the presentation.
- Emphasize Future Goals: Clearly communicate the intention to move beyond Alexa in the presentation, rather than addressing it only during Q&A.
- Highlight Partnerships: Discuss partnerships more prominently to showcase collaborative efforts and the project’s broader support network.
- Engage the Audience: Find ways to actively engage the audience during the presentation to maintain interest and encourage participation.
- Practice Timing: Be mindful of pacing to ensure that each key point receives adequate attention without rushing through information.
- Use Visual Aids: Enhance the presentation with visual aids or infographics to illustrate key concepts and data more effectively.
- Address Feedback: Review the feedback received from the Q&A session and incorporate suggestions for improvement into future presentations.
- Follow-Up on Questions: After the presentation, follow up on any questions or points raised during the Q&A that were not fully addressed.

Impact Statement: AISHA aims to empower 50,000 healthcare workers and nursing students in 20 Sub-Saharan African countries over the next five years. By providing AI-driven educational resources, AISHA will deliver over 1000 interactive lessons and quizzes, and over 10,000 questions, enabling healthcare providers to refresh their clinical knowledge faster and more efficiently. Our goal is to increase healthcare knowledge retention rates by 50% and improve nurse training completion rates by 20% through accessible study tools. Inevitably this would reduce the gap in patient education, targeting a 30% improvement in healthcare providers’ ability to answer patient questions accurately. As for scalability, AISHA plans to expand to 75 healthcare facilities and answer 100,000 invocations, providing vital support for under-resourced health workers in low resource areas.
