LEAPP‑AI is a collaborative project between the Faculty of Information Technology (FIT) at Monash University, MADA (Monash Art, Design and Architecture) and the Australian Living Evidence Collaboration (ALEC).
The project addresses a critical challenge in evidence‑based healthcare: while living guidelines provide continuously updated recommendations, they require significant ongoing resources to maintain.
LEAPP‑AI investigates how AI‑enabled tools can be incorporated across the entire living guideline workflow, from evidence surveillance through to recommendation development, consultation, dissemination, an evaluation. By systematically mapping opportunities, risks, and benefits, the project aims to guide responsible and effective AI adoption in guideline development.
The project focuses on the Living Evidence for Australian Pregnancy and Postnatal Care (LEAPP) guideline as a real‑world case study.
LEAPP-AI follows a structured, multi-phase approach to:
Map the living guideline workflow:
Identify relevant AI tools:
Assess tools using validation research and practical functionality:
Living guidelines deliver undeniable value by ensuring recommendations remain current, relevant, and responsive to emerging evidence, but they require substantial ongoing resources to maintain. LEAPP‑AI addresses this challenge by investigating how AI can be used to:
LEAPP‑AI is led by researchers from the Faculty of IT, MADA and ALEC, including:
