African women have the highest total entrepreneurial activity of all women globally, and make up more than half of the continent's self-employed population. There's still a $42 billion funding gap: for every $15 invested in male-led startups, African women-led startups get just $1. AWiDH is going to help close that digital gender gap by building an enabling environment and catalyzing increased investment to women in digital health. I am proud of Resolve To Save Lives work to support this initiative and thrilled to be able to work with Speak Up Africa, Africa CDC and the partners leading on this!
Introducing African Women in Digital Health #AWiDH 👩🏾💻 A movement by Africans for Africans to unlock the power of African women to transform the state of digital health across the continent. We are committed to ending the digital gender gap that prevents African women's meaningful engagement, representation, and leadership in the digital health space. Together, we are building a community of exceptional people and organizations to realize our vision of more African women leaders in digital health by 2030. AWiDH is an initiative of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC).

One of the touted applications of generative AI in healthcare is the ability to increase accessibility of medical care and often through some kind of chatbot interface. In a rush to capitalize on this new technology, proper risk (safety, equity, etc.) assessments are "check-the-box" activities. Yes, accessibility of quality, affordable care is a major problem. No, we can't tech-solution our way out of provider shortages. Yes, patients can and should do their own research to make informed decisions. No, not everything on the internet (aka everything LLMs are trained with) is a reliable reference for patients. And an even bigger NO, not everything a chatbot responds with can be substantiated. If companies are pushing genAI solutions (or even relying on other AI technologies) as a replacement for addressing the systemic issues feeding barriers to healthcare, there should at least be very public and plain-English safety assessment results given to users before they interact with the tool. https://lnkd.in/gqHaqbwQ
"The most effective health systems are sensitive to the needs of the local communities they serve...not just engaging communities in a crisis. In partnering with communities, health systems build trust that ultimately helps keep everyone safe." Check out the inspiring stories in Ghana, Finland, Somalia, Bangladesh, Cambodia and Vanuatu recent disease outbreaks in that were successfully contained. And congrats to my team at Resolve To Save Lives on the latest edition of Epidemics that Didn't Happen! https://lnkd.in/gYQZ6-sw
