Dr. Jawad Noon ka Artificial Intelligene (AI) ke saath public health, policy, healthcare bias, global inequality jese issues solve krne per zorr.
Summary:
Dr. Muhammad Jawad Noon, aik Pakistani doctor aur AI researcher, duniya bhar mein healthcare systems ko redefine kar rahe hain. Unki kaam pulse oximeters ke racial bias se le kar AI policy frameworks tak phaila hua hai. Harvard aur Oxford jaise institutes se taleem hasil kar ke, unhon ne global health ko equity, data transparency aur insani dignity ke zariye transform karne ka mission apnaya hai.
Bahawalpur se Boston tak ka safar, jahan se ek doctor ne global health ka naya naqsha tay kiya.
Pulse oximeters, jo fingertip devices hotay hain oxygen level check karne ke liye, dark skin walay patients ke liye often inaccurate results dikhate hain. Yeh ek subtle error hai jo hospitals mein critical delays ka sabab banta hai — including Pakistan. But Dr. Muhammad Jawad Noon, aik Pakistani public health student, ne MIT Policy Hackathon mein is maslay ka hal propose kiya — aur baad mein Harvard mein aik AI model develop kiya jo yeh racial bias eliminate karta hai.
“I’m here to build systems that see and serve everyone,” kehte hain Dr. Noon.
Dr. Noon, aik medical doctor by training aur AI researcher by practice, ab hospitals aur hackathons, policies aur programming ke darmiyan ka pul ban gaye hain. Unka kaam sirf medical labs mein nahi balkay national policy rooms tak phaila hua hai.
Discipline se disruption tak ka safar
Unka journey Bahawalpur se Lahore aur Islamabad ke zariye Oxford aur Harvard tak gaya. Har sheher ne unko aik nayi soch aur tool diya. Teaching hospitals ke wards mein jab wo helpless patients dekhte thay, toh unka mindset sirf “doctor ban’ne” se systems thinker ban’ne mein shift hua.
“That’s when I stopped asking what I could do as a doctor, and started asking what I could change as a human being,” Noon ne yaad kiya.
Johns Hopkins mein clinical training ne unka self-belief reinforce kiya. Mentors like Dr. William Greenough aur Dr. Thomas Finucane ne unko sikhaya ke excellence ka matlab sirf knowledge nahi, balkay character aur clarity bhi hai.
Policy aur AI ka intersection
Oxford mein unhone research and policy-making ke darmiyan ka gap samajhna start kiya. Phir Harvard mein unka AI ke saath encounter hua. Wahaan unhone AI Policy Benchmarking Tool develop kiya — aik structured guide jo countries ko responsible aur rights-based AI adoption mein help karta hai.
“Policy, jab theek design ho, paperwork nahi hoti — protection hoti hai.”
Dr. Noon ka kehna hai ke AI aur medicine ko responsibly integrate karna bohot zaroori hai, warna data bias aur inequality aur ziada barh sakti hai.
Science ko samjhana bhi zaroori hai
Dr. Noon kehte hain ke sirf research publish karna kaafi nahi — logon tak sahi tareeqay se information pohchana bhi zimmedari hai. Is liye unhone Nature, The Lancet, aur CNN jaise platforms pe apni baat rakh kar public understanding improve karne ki koshish ki hai.
“I don’t write for visibility. I write to make knowledge accessible where it matters.”
Recognition ke bawajood, humility
Unko kai global awards mil chuke hain — 40 Under 40, German Medical Award, European Medicine Award — magar wo kehte hain,
“I’m not building a legacy. I want my name whispered in prayers.”
Pakistan aur AI ka future
Dr. Noon kehte hain ke Pakistan ke paas ek chhoti si window hai AI revolution ko embrace karne ke liye — healthcare improve karne ke saath saath economic innovation ko bhi lead kar sakta hai.
“AI, agar sincerity aur vision ke saath lead kiya jaye, toh Pakistan ko regional tech leader banaya ja sakta hai.”
Unka final message youth ke liye hai:
“You don’t need permission to begin. You don’t need a title to lead. Aapki background barrier nahi — aapki taaqat hai.”
Iqbal ka she’r unka mantra ban gaya hai:
“Uqaabi rooh jab bedar hoti hai jawanon mein,
Nazar aati hai unko apni manzil aasmanon mein.”
