Thousands of kids and young adults like Josh wake up in pain each morning, enduring a life filled with stiff joints and unrelenting fear. But they shouldn’t have to face this fight alone. In Australia, about 6,000 children share Josh’s pain.

The Power of AI in Medicine

You can help fund groundbreaking research led by Dr. Zhibin Liao, in collaboration with the University of Adelaide, the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, and Flinders University.

Dr. Liao’s project harnesses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to transform the way we diagnose and treat JIA.

Imagine a world where kids don’t have to endure months of pain and recovery due to flare-ups. Dr. Liao’s research can make this a reality. AI technology will enable early detection, preserving joint integrity, and granting children the chance to lead full lives.
