Digital Square at PATH

We know the importance of building capacity at the local level to ensure the sustainability of digital health solutions. We worked closely with partners using Digital Square at PATH’s Organization Capacity Assessment Framework to conduct assessments that can be used to identify strengths and develop plans to enhance capacity in priority areas.

AI-enabled tools have the potential to advance #HealthEquity, but they need to be designed for the local health care context. This means intentionally engaging local innovators and end users from day one of the product development cycle. Our recently appointed Chief AI Officer, Bilal Mateen, offers five key reflections informed by PATH’s #AI4Health efforts that outline how we can deliver better care at the last mile using AI. ➡️ https://bit.ly/40wnmTG #DigitalHealthWeek2024 #InclusivityInDigitalHealth

The best decisions are informed decisions. When countries are making decisions about #digitalhealth interventions, Digital Square at PATH offers two tools that provide crucial information to contribute to evidence-based decision-making: 💲 Digital Square’s Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Tool is an interactive budgeting and benchmarking resource intended to help health leaders understand and develop more realistic budgets for digital health projects: https://lnkd.in/durUUvRG 🔢 Digital Square's Sustainability Calculator is designed to estimate what it will cost to deliver sustainable digital health in a country: https://lnkd.in/dCr2KpPt #DigitalHealthWeek2024 #DigitalHealthGovernanceandFinancing #TCO #Sustainability PATH

Digital Square continues to engage with G20 Brasil 2024 and was pleased to co-host an event during the fifth Health Working Group meeting last week in Rio along with PATH, Africa CDC, CEPI (Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations), Pan American Health Organization, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and Brazil's Ministério da Saúde. The global response to Mpox requires seamless collaboration and a multidisciplinary approach, emphasizing equitable vaccine distribution and manufacturing capacity and the use of digital tools and AI to improve disease surveillance community resilience. PATH and Digital Square continue to be active partners in ensuring more effective monitoring through improved data collection—working across borders to help countries develop a clearer understanding of Mpox outbreaks and strengthen their collective response strategies.

That's a wrap on the Africa HealthTech Summit - AHTS!   We are thrilled to have sponsored this amazing event and had our team speak at several sessions (see: https://lnkd.in/eczm5bhn). The inspiring remarks and thought-provoking discussions on localization, emerging tech, cybersecurity, interoperability, standards, and more helped drive the momentum to continue unlocking the potential of #digitalhealth and #data—both in and for Africa. We are also grateful to have connected with many of our existing partners and to uncover opportunities with new ones.   For those who attended #AHTS24, what was your biggest takeaway?   Photo credit: Dala Group Africa

Today, our team members Fatou Fall, Ernest Mbo, Mamadou Mballo DIALLO, Carl Fourie, and Nino Hares held a cybersecurity session at Africa HealthTech Summit - AHTS. The session provided foundational knowledge on open-source intelligence (OSINT) techniques for responsibly gathering publicly available information while emphasizing cybersecurity hygiene. Attendees learned about data collection methods, essential security practices, common cyber threats, and how to maintain a secure online presence during OSINT research, ensuring privacy and protection. 🔐 #cybersecurity #AHTS24 #OSINT

PATH recently collaborated with health officials in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) to upgrade and bring online the eClinica system, a patient database used to streamline HIV patient registration and treatment monitoring. With funding and technical support from the US CDC’s Technical Assistance Platform, the online version of eClinica has now been rolled out to 34 outpatient clinics in HCMC, fully replacing the previously offline system. Now clinics can easily share data, process patient referrals, and share data with health officials to accurately monitor and analyze citywide HIV case data and treatment trends. ➡️ Learn more about the process of upgrading the eClinica system here: https://lnkd.in/eXEpmgqY
