Connecting for innovation and impact for all in global health
This session will begin with an introduction to the fundamentals of AI, followed by practical examples of how AI-driven tools are being adopted in resource-limited countries to enhance HIV prevention, treatment and care. The session will integrate perspectives from affected communities and explore the ethical considerations necessary to ensure that AI contributes to people-centered and stigma-free services.
The Bay Area World Malaria Day Forum hosted by the Center for Malaria and Vector-Borne Diseases (CMVBD) at the UCSF Institute for Global Health Sciences will take place on Friday, April 24, from 9 AM to noon PT at UCSF’s Mission Bay Campus. World Malaria Day (WMD) is a global event that raises awareness about malaria and builds momentum to defeat this deadly disease. The 2026 WMD theme, “United Against Malaria,” calls for urgent global action and commitment to end malaria once and for all. For Bay Area malaria researchers, advocates, organizations, and funders, this forum is an opportunity to gather, exchange information and ideas, and build collaboration for the malaria fight.

Health systems strive to put people at the center of care – but doing so requires understanding what communities, patients, providers, and decision makers value. Discrete choice experiments (DCEs) are increasingly used for measuring these preferences by asking people to engage in trade-offs when making decisions. By revealing what matters most to different groups, DCEs can inform the design of interventions and strategies that are more acceptable, feasible, and likely to succeed. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the foundation to design, conduct, and evaluate a DCE from start to finish.
The UCSF Global Health Science Retreat will convene the IGHS community to showcase Global Health research, highlight emerging work, and foster collaboration across centers, programs, and disciplines. The event is designed as a concise, interactive forum that supports networking, knowledge exchange, and engagement across career stages.

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.
Join the Bay Area Global Health Alliance for AI-Assisted Ultrasound: Bridging Innovation and Access. As part of our 2025 AI and Global Health Discussion Series, this virtual panel of experts will explore how AI-assisted ultrasound technology is being deployed in low resource settings, identifying both challenges and opportunities for increased access and use by frontline healthcare workers. The panel will invite cross-sector perspectives from tech innovation leaders, clinical implementers/academia, funders, and practitioners.
