Artificial intelligence (AI) holds promise as a potentially transformative and disruptive force across sectors, including health and healthcare. Around the world, AI-driven solutions are being developed and implemented in health settings at a dizzying pace. While these new technologies could help to improve health and save lives, especially in resource-constrained settings, many still lack a strong evidence base as well as mature policy and regulatory environments to ensure responsible use. In this session, we will hear from leading innovators around the world as well as researchers who are studying the growing use of AI in global health. The discussion will focus on the current state of AI, lessons learned, and the pathway forward for evidence-driven, responsible, and ethical use of AI in global health. Learn more and register ⬇️

Did you know that diagnostic errors account for 16% of preventable patient harm? But technology has the potential to transform how we ensure safer and more reliable healthcare. In the hands of professional community health workers, the Community Health Toolkit can record accurate and up-to-date medical histories, provide guidance on diagnosis and treatment, detect adverse reactions to medicines, and facilitate follow-ups. This can go a long way in improving patient safety.
