Tech & Health

Technology has the potential to transform the healthcare sector globally. Yet many questions remain about how it will be transformed, who stands to benefit, and who will suffer the consequences. HGHI’s Tech & Health Program aims to answer these questions by leveraging novel data sources, empowering the next generation of AI practitioners to build evidence-based solutions, and facilitating meaningful collaborations across disciplines and sectors.
We believe HGHI is uniquely positioned to bring together leading scholars across diverse disciplines to focus on the promise, potential, and challenges that automated technologies can have in transforming healthcare delivery in low- and middle-income countries. HGHI’s Tech and Health initiative will build collaborations with key stakeholders across the globe, engage with local communities that are directly impacted by new technologies, and share best practices to prepare the world for the future of healthcare delivery.
