HEALTH AND AI RESEARCH GROUP: STRUCTURE, CHALLENGES, AND TEACHING PRACTICES

Background / Aims

• Research group founded in 2016 with face‑to‑face meetings and slow individual onboarding�• In 2025 the structure transitioned to a remote collaborative model�• Seven new members entered simultaneously�• Aim: evaluate whether AI‑supported digital supervision accelerates research training while maintaining quality

Materials and Methods

• Supervision performed entirely via WhatsApp using calls and messages�• Weekly checkpoints structured research workflow�• Members organized in pairs or trios�• AI tools used for idea organization, summaries / structuring manuscripts

Results and Discussion

• Research learning curve accelerated during collaborative activities

• Thematic consistency across projects was maintained

• Intergenerational collaboration improved: experienced x new researchers

• Operational challenges: notification overload / coordination of tasks

• AI improved efficiency and scalability of supervision processes

• Human mentoring remained essential to ensure conceptual coherence and academic maturity

Conclusion

The combination of AI-supported organization and human supervision proved effective in expanding research capacity and strengthening collaborative learning in health research and education. Future steps include testing hybrid onboarding models combining collective training and intergenerational supervision.
