This report presents findings from the Living Evidence Architecture (LEA) project, a collaborative initiative between the Australian Living Evidence Collaboration, Monash University (Australia and Indonesia), WHO regional and headquarters offices, and partners across South-East Asia and the Western Pacific.
The research brought together experts and end users from clinical, policy, public health, and digital sectors to explore how living evidence systems can better support decision-making across diverse health contexts, with a particular focus on South-East Asia and the Western Pacific.
The primary purpose of this work is to co-design a regional vision and practical roadmap for a more inclusive, accessible, and sustainable living evidence system. The project aims to identify system-level enablers, barriers, user needs, and design priorities to guide the development of a context-aware, AI-enabled, and equity-centred evidence platform to support the uptake, interpretation, and contextualisation of evidence across diverse healthcare systems.
