AI-Assisted Ultrasound: Bridging Innovation and Access in Low-Resource Settings

AI-Assisted Ultrasound: Bridging Innovation and Access in Low-Resource Settings

On September 9, 2025, the Alliance hosted AI-Assisted Ultrasound: Bridging Innovation and Access in Low-Resource Settings as part of its 2025 AI and Global Health Discussion Series, sponsored by Pfizer. The panel brought together multi-sector perspectives from AMPATH Kenya, the Gates Foundation, the Global Ultrasound Institute (GUSI), Philips Ultrasound, and UCSF’s Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health. Together, the expert panelists explored how AI-assisted ultrasound can transform care in low-resource settings while addressing the challenges of implementation. They discussed its potential to democratize diagnostics — making affordable imaging more accessible for maternal health, cancer, cardiovascular disease, tuberculosis, and other critical conditions where access is too often limited.
