This timely webinar series provided an introduction to building functional health software using AI and natural language.

Through the series, participants gained the skills to:

  • Explain what vibe coding is and why it matters for health research and clinical practice
  • Use AI tools (Replit and Claude Code/Cowork) to build a functional health tool from a natural language description
  • Build a basic research automation workflow (e.g. literature screening, data extraction, or synthesis)
  • Identify appropriate use cases in their own work and understand where compliance and ethics considerations apply
  • Identify next steps to deepen their skills through structured learning pathways
