Connecting for innovation and impact for all in global health
As the Geneva Digital Health Hub’s annual Geneva Digital Health Day conference approaches, they are hosting a series of three webinars, one for each track, designed to provide an initial overview of the topics and a preview of the conference agenda. Each webinar will feature a keynote presentation and two solution pitches, followed by breakout rooms for interactive networking, providing an intimate opportunity to connect with peers, exchange ideas and expand your professional network.
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.
Join the Alliance on Thursday, May 28, 2026 from 8:30am-12:30pm PT for the Bay Area Global Health Alliance’s 2026 Annual Meeting. This members-only gathering will convene our community in San Francisco and on Zoom to assess the evolving landscape and focus on how we can respond with bold ideas and coordinated action. Our keynote speaker will be Raffi Krikorian, CTO at Mozilla.org, Board Chair at Mozilla.ai and Alliance member Medic and former CTO & Managing Director at Emerson Collective.
Scaling an AI solution requires a careful combination of strategy, collaboration, and a willingness to pivot when necessary. By choosing the right local partners and champions and prioritizing community feedback, nonprofits can transform a simple product into a sustainable platform that serves millions of people around the world. This fourth and final episode will cover “The Impact Phase”, in which participants get a sneak peek into how three more PJMF grant partners optimized an AI solution and scaled it for far-reaching impact.
After an extraordinarily challenging year for global health, the past few months have produced a flood of predictions for 2026. If one stepped back and curated them all, what trends would actually rise to the top? We were curious and curated 40 articles and reports from trusted media, policy institutions, multilaterals, industry voices, and research organizations to identify the common threads shaping the year ahead. While not exhaustive, this synthesis offers key trends reshaping global health systems, innovation ecosystems, and markets — especially in LMICs where need, innovation, and opportunity intersect.
