Yuan Chi

Yuan Chi is the Founder and CEO of Yealth Technology, a not-for-profit company dedicated to
bridging resources and talents on evidence synthesis between Chinese and English-speaking world
for equitable healthcare research and education, which initiated with her appreciation of her story
with Cochrane.

Before being elected as an under 30-year-old Chinese Governing Board member at Cochrane in
2021, Yuan has been a Cochrane community volunteer for over two years, where she grew up from a
nobody with no background and experience, to a recognisable contributor of more than 50
Cochrane reviews led by teams based cross the 5 continents (UK, Canada, Germany, Sweden,
Australia, South Africa, Lebanon, US, etc.), resulting in 11 authorships and 28 recommendations.
These enabled her to join Cochrane Campbell Global Ageing Partnership as Executive member and
Information Specialist, and to be invited to join the Executive Team of COVID19 Recommendation
Map where she was later privileged to be the only Chinese Co-Investigator of its $0.9 million CIHR
grant.

Through these collaborative projects, Yuan provided various volunteer opportunities to enable
young professionals in resource-limited environments access to international high-quality training
and research projects. She is passionate about further exploring possibilities for individuals,
educational institutions, and relevant stakeholders to work together to promote shared research
and lifelong learning opportunities that benefit both individual and society to achieve UN’s
Sustainable Development Goals.

Yuan lives in Shanghai, China. Although she left hospital after eight-year study on clinical medicine to
avoid night shifts, now she has to enjoy being 24 hours available to work with her global
collaborators cross all time zones.
