Advancing Health Equity through Multi-Level Fairness in Health Informatics

The paper examines how multi‑level fairness techniques—combining several bias‑mitigation steps—can reduce biases across patient demographics in health informatics. It reviews current literature, identifies gaps in implementation and reporting of health equity outcomes, and evaluates the role of reporting standards such as MINIMAR and TRIPOD in enhancing transparency. The authors conclude with recommendations to improve reporting transparency, broaden adoption of multi‑level fairness methods, and explicitly prioritize health equity in future research.

FairSelect: A Systematic Evaluation of Multi-Level and Intersectional Algorithmic Fairness

Algorithmic fairness methods are increasingly used to identify and mitigate bias in machine learning models, yet most approaches are evaluated in isolation and along single demographic axes. This limits practical guidance for selecting fairness strategies, where disparities may arise across intersectional subgroups and across multiple stages of the modeling lifecycle.
